Three time Richmond premiership captain Trent Cotchin joins Abbey and Georgie fresh from a front row seat to Brisbane’s latest flag, having watched the Grand Final from inside the Lions coaches’ box. Cotchin takes them behind the scenes of the comeback, explains what separates great teams from merely good ones and compares the culture driving Brisbane’s remarkable run with the Richmond dynasty he helped build.

There’s plenty of love for Will Ashcroft, too, as Trent reveals the personality behind Brisbane’s young superstar, why his All Australian snub may have unleashed something dangerous and what makes him such a relentless competitor.

He also weighs in on the Lions’ frighteningly young list, whether they can keep the dynasty rolling, and the challenge of finding motivation when you’ve already climbed the mountain again and again. Then comes the Grand Final’s most talked-about tactical move. Trent breaks down the now infamous “Wharfie Time” call, why he actually likes the idea despite how brutally it backfired on Fremantle, and whether the Dockers can turn Grand Final heartbreak into a Richmond 2017-style launchpad next season. 

Plus, he gives an emphatic answer on whether senior coaching is in his future, explains why he’s much happier exploring life outside football and opens up on finding his place in podcasting after being told to become more opinionated in traditional media.

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.

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.

Georgie and Abbey are back from THAT historic NFL game at the MCG...and boy do they have some stories. 

In the NRLW Ali Brigginshaw receives a moving farewell tribute, and AFL great turned NFL punter Sav Rocca joins the podcast to explain how Australian athletes keep making it in American football. 

And it can't be avoided; the girls debate the Sydney Sweeney gambling ad controversy - well aware of the irony of giving it airtime. Is women's sport really going backwards?

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.

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.

One of the most emotional moments in Australian sporting history unfolded over the weekend as Jai Arrow returned to the field and notched his 98th game for the Rabbitohs. Georgie Tunny and Abbey Gelmi unpack the scenes that left us all in tears, debate whether AFL's Wild Card experiment has won over its critics, and discuss the growing anti-Geelong movement, the AFL Legends Game, and why Carlton has suddenly become everyone's second favourite team.

Plus, the Broncos' botched farewell for Adam Reynolds, Collingwood's heartbreaking exit and Scott Pendlebury's move to the Suns. And the NRL's most chaotic top eight in years, the rise of the Dolphins, another Cleary emerging to terrify rivals, and why Fremantle remains the most confusing contender in Australian sport.

What happened to the Brisbane Broncos this season? 12 months ago, they looked like one of the NRL’s most formidable teams. So what went wrong? Georgie does an autopsy.

In the AFL there's a very important conversation going on. Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson’s powerful comments on mental health showed us how sport can help drive conversations that we all should be having.

Abbey and Georgie discuss:

• The Broncos’ difficult season and what comes next
• Jordan Dawson’s emotional All-Australian address
• The Richmond Mad Monday controversy
• Adam Reynolds lack of farewell
• Who should win the NRL Premiership?
• Yes or No on the AFL's Wildcard round
