    G’Day, G’Day, G’Day! It’s Grand Final week and we recap two heart-stoppers while opining on a streak-buster, a ref fluster, and a suspended buster while we muster the strength to finish the string. It’s so much show, we couldn’t fit the ticker! (Not really, I forgot … 🤷🏻‍♂️) Join us as we hurtle toward the end of footy ‘26!
