Meg Lanning's legacy for Australian cricket

Grand Final week goes into overdrive as Abbey and Georgie land not one but two AFL premiership players in the same episode: Richmond great Jack Riewoldt and four time Hawthorn/Geelong flag winner Isaac Smith, for dueling previews of Fremantle vs Brisbane. Riewoldt breaks down what it actually felt like in the rooms when Freo booked their first ever Grand Final berth, watching former teammate Shai Bolton embrace family and friends after his move to the Dockers, and makes the case for defence deciding the contest while gently teasing the Lachie Neale tribunal drama without giving much away.

Then Isaac Smith swings by fresh off what he calls the best game of football he's ever seen, Hawthorn's heartbreaking prelim loss to Brisbane, to weigh in on whether big game experience actually matters, why nobody's talking about Freo's escape act against Sydney, and Will Ashcroft's increasingly legendary hair.

Both guests get put on the spot for a margin, a Norm Smith pick, and naturally their favourite Kylie Minogue song ahead of her halftime slot, one enthusiastically, one under extreme protest. Whether you back Freo's fairytale or Brisbane's three peat, this one comes with the inside word from two men who know exactly what it's like to walk out on the last Saturday in September.

In this episode:

00:38 Jack Riewoldt on Freo's rooms and Shai Bolton's return

02:02 Why Freo have been quietly preparing for weeks

05:17 Is Fremantle's scoring the fatal flaw?

06:12 Why defence will decide the Grand Final

08:45 Lachie Neale's tribunal drama

09:19 Kylie Minogue tickets and Grand Final predictions

14:07 Justice for Freo's escape act against Sydney

14:55 Does Grand Final experience actually matter?

17:15 Will Ashcroft's hair and Norm Smith odds

18:23 The annual Grand Final conspiracy theory debate

19:49 Does Isaac miss playing?

21:37 Isaac Smith's final prediction

22:55 Favourite Kylie banger, put to the ultimate test

Rove McManus joins Two Good Sports for a Freo fan therapy session, reflecting on the Dockers' historic season, the heartbreak of 2013, and why Freo supporters still can't quite believe a premiership is possible. He shares how he became a lifelong Dockers fan, gives us the lowdown on "Warfie Time", and explains what making (and potentially winning) a grand final would mean to him after decades of support.

Along the way, the chat drifts into WA footy culture, merch rivalries, a secret about Optus Stadium guitarist Troy Nababan, Rove's WWE obsession, voice acting and Finding Nemo, and his unlikely Olympic commentary career.
