This week, Xavier Ellis, reporter Ryan Daniels in the Queensland hub and The West sport editor Nick Rynne dive right into the issues of the week in footy.

Xav backs the Pies to win it all, dealing with off-field in-house fights, are Eagles too old?, Daniher to the Lions and plenty more finals and trade talk.
