For today's episode, we're very lucky to have Bec Daniher joining us in studio ahead of FightMND's 11th Big Freeze at the MCG. 

In 2013 AFL legend Neale Daniher, Bec's father, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. But rather than fade into the background, Neale dedicated his life to helping prevent the suffering of those who’ll be diagnosed in the future. The charity he co-founded, FightMND, has since raised $115 million and raised awareness of this devastating illness in Australian culture.

It's NRL finals tonight, and although the top 8 is (in Georgie's words) 'crazy', we are fully invested. It's crazy because unlike most seasons, there's no obvious favourite and every finals team looks dangerous. Georgie chats with team captains from across the top eight about Kalyn Ponga's failed hex on Nathan Cleary, midriff celebrations and whether Two Good Sports can become the Knights' official supporter group.

Featuring interviews with Newcastle Knight Kalyn Ponga, NZ Warrior Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Sydney Rooster James Tedesco, South Sydney Rabbitoh Cameron Murray and NRL Chairman Peter V'landys, Abbey and Georgie preview every finals contender and break down the NRL Finals draw.

Plus, Georgie and Cam Murray reflect on the emotion surrounding Jai Arrow's 100th game, and the others reveal who they think can stop Penrith. Beyond the finals predictions, Georgie asks the captains who they'd steal from rival clubs, how to stop Nathan Cleary, whether the Warriors are now bigger than rugby union in New Zealand, and Two Good Sports somehow ends up securing a a VIP invitation to Las Vegas from Peter V'landys (no going back on it now.

Georgie returns from Perth with strong opinions about Fremantle, Optus Stadium's reclining seats, and one of the biggest AFL finals weekends in recent memory. We unpack Freo's collapse against Hawthorn, ask whether the Hawks are now premiership favourites, and break down Sydney's incredible upset win over Brisbane.

This week's Bad Sport: it's Sky Sports NZ after they made a huge blunder during the broadcast of Jai Arrow's emotional 100th game.

Some of the best AFL finals games ever - how did it all go down?

Run clubs are booming, marathons are selling out, and somehow everyone you know is suddenly training for something. So we sat down with elite runner and FEMMI co-founder Lydia O'Donnell to find out what’s really behind the running craze. From run clubs becoming the new dating apps to the mental games that kick in deep into a marathon, Lydia explains why so many people are lacing up and why they keep coming back.

But this conversation isn’t really about running. It’s about confidence, body image, women’s health, and learning to work with your body instead of against it. Lydia shares her own experience as an elite athlete, the lessons she wishes she’d known sooner, and why movement can be a powerful antidote to a world that constantly tells women to take up less space.

Plus: the biggest mistakes new runners make, the toughest kilometre in a marathon, and the ultimate running soundtrack.
