This week, join Michael Gleeson, Jake Niall and Peter Ryan as they discuss Collingwood's rise and ponder what the Queen's Birthday loss means for the Demons. Plus, what was the "uncharacteristic" weakness that saw Richmond lose to Port Adelaide, which player could be key to Geelong's flag aspirations (it isn't Gary Ablett, Patrick Dangerfield or Joel Selwood), why St Kilda have lost their trademark style of football and should the Saints cash in and trade Jack Billings?
