    So Lachie Neale is playing now? | Isaac Smith & Jack Riewoldt's AFL Grand Final Predictions

    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 11:13 Four flag guest Isaac Smith joins the show 12:33 The best game of football he's ever seen: Hawks v Lions 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 Two Good Sports is sports news, told differently.

    Freo Dockers superfan Rove McManus on how to beat the Sydney Swans, and what he'd do if Freo won the Grand Final

    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.   In this episode: 00:00 Rove McManus Joins Two Good Sports02:15 The Biggest Dockers Fan You'll Ever Meet04:05 How Rove Fell in Love with Fremantle07:00 Why Freo Fans Refuse to Believe09:15 The Pain of the Hawthorn Finals Loss12:25 What Exactly Is "Warfie Time"?16:10 Can Fremantle Make the AFL Grand Final?18:45 Hawthorn, Brisbane & The Premiership Path20:55 Rove's Surprise Olympic Commentary Career21:50 Finding Nemo, Voice Acting & WWE Obsession24:05 What a Fremantle Premiership Would Mean27:10 The Guitarist Terrified of Heights at Optus Stadium29:00 Rove's Message to Two Good Sports Fans31:10 Flagmantle Dreams & Final Predictions   Harvey Norman love sport.

    NRL Finals Special: we chat with Kalyn Ponga, James Tedesco and the Top 8 Captains

    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.   Harvey Norman love sport.
