Libby Birch, Peter Ryan and Marc McGowan discuss the major concerns for the Bombers, whether we can trust the Bulldogs and why the biggest test for the Hawks will come next year. Plus, the positives for the Swans despite losing three of their last four games, why the Blues' win on Sunday was unconvincing and we get a player's view on the confusion around tackling.

'I feel for their supporters'

Andrew Wu and Peter Ryan discuss the team that travels like yoghurt, whether Collingwood should be doom and gloom ahead of their clash with the Hawks and who will win when the league's most in-form team comes up against the one that has been the best so far this year.
