Yesssss welcome back Faffers! We were lucky enough to be joined by former Magpie, Dog and all round good bloke Travis Cloke following his game for Heathmere as part of the 2025 Carlton Draft. Brett, Dyl & Mick went along for the ride as we reflected on Travis' career which included the 2010 premiership and a best and fairest award as a 19-year-old back in 2007! In between all of this, we still looked ahead to another big weekend of footy and Dyl still inserted himself in way too many stories...

Yessss welcome back to another Weekend Review! The mood was much better this week—no hard outs, no quad injuries, and fewer phone calls! Mick and Brett kicked things off by secretly playing a game of Buckley Bingo, trying to get Dyl to drop as many FAF clichés as possible (it only lasted 10 minutes). After that, we broke down Mick’s Roos and their big win over Carlton, laughed about how Dyl had no clue who Essendon’s new ruckman was, and Brett shared the story of his jumper presentation on Sunda...
