MIDWEEK RUB | Everyone's Airborne, Three Bombers Want Out, Can Freo + Sydney Keep This Up?
6/17/202635 min
Daisy, Joey and Damo are in the studio - and all three are flying! The Saints mafia is back thanks to Liam Ryan, North are tipped to make it 7-7 this weekend against Richmond and the Blues have won four in a row as they head to play GWS.
Was Paul Curtis's three-week suspension the right decision? And with three Bombers contemplating new homes, is the right thing to do for Essendon to let them go?
Damo's flying on the big call front so we get three big predictions from the crew as well as everyone's tips for round 15.

A Jordan Dawson-led Crom outfit continued their run of form, while the Lions were sloppy early in Tassie before finding their norm. The Power again lost another game by the slimmest of posts, while a straight-kicking Jake Watermelon saved the Roos against West Coast. Dimmer likened Geelong to Rome's Colosseum and caught the AFL's eyes, which, to be fair, is like liking Lionel Messi to Brian Myers.
Damian Barrett· Host0:34
Ah, ah.
Speaker 3· Host0:34
