Episode 132 - The Cyclone Episode (and some footy)

Half of Opening Round happened, Round One has been and gone, and the boys are back on the mics. After a visit from Alfred, the fellas have returned to bless the airwaves with their footy chat.

Isaac and Keelan also lock in their ladder predictions for the AFL season (mostly) untainted by the footy that has happened over the last two weeks.
