Pommy returns after Carlton's win, breaking the curse of only appearing on losses.

The episode opens with host Terry welcoming Pommy back after Carlton's win over St Kilda, humorously noting the 'curse' is broken. They discuss the training report, where an accidental video of a child urinating sparked memes and editing dilemmas. The game analysis begins with Pommy summarizing it as 'Saints controlled the territory, Carlton controlled the consequences,' highlighting Carlton's midfield dominance and strategic slowdown. They examine Lewis Young's role as a third tall forward, debating if it's a viable long-term solution. The hosts critique St Kilda's game plan, suggesting Ross Lyon's arrogance backfired. Coaches' votes are debated, with concerns over bias after Ross Lyon seemingly favored St Kilda players. A significant segment focuses on Harry McKay's goal on Spud's Day, with Pommy delivering a monologue against weaponizing mental health and emphasizing support networks. The preview shifts to Round 10 against Sydney, labeled a 'must-win' by Terry, with discussions on Chad Warner's threat and Carlton's need to stop Sydney's slingshot. Injury updates include McGovern training and Williams sprinting, while VFL performances are deemed unconvincing for call-ups. Ladder predictions are made, with Pommy calling GWS 'frauds' and analyzing the top-eight race. The hosts tip upcoming rounds, including Carlton over Sydney, and reflect on past predictions. The episode closes with promos for future shows, including a debate with Jake from Saints TV.
