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.
