It’s Preliminary Final week, so Barkly Street has called in the big guns - a man who knows what it’s like to own the big stage in a huge final.

Those with short memories will know the impact Tory Dickson had in the entire 2016 Finals Series, but his four-goal performance in the Preliminary Final is stuff of legend.

Bob and Woody welcome ‘Dicko’ on zoom to chat about his memories of that win over GWS, including his negating role on Heath Shaw and Easton’s outrageous high-flying grab.

Dickson also outlines what life is like a year on from his AFL retirement, including his investment portfolio, looking after his young son and being as passionate as ever when he’s watching the red, white and blue.

Also on this week’s episode, Easton and Bob talk about the future of the Barkly Street hosts’ chairs after the news of Bob’s defection to Fremantle, how ‘Laverne and Shirley’ stood up to the pressure of chasing Charlie Cameron around last week, and how big of a loss Cody Weightman is to the team.
