In this week’s episode of The Footy Forecast, Regan and Fitzy strap in for one of the biggest weekends of the year as Preliminary Final footy takes centre stage.

Geelong and Hawthorn are set to reignite their fierce rivalry, while Collingwood and Brisbane collide in a blockbuster at the MCG.

We celebrate Fitzy’s flag-winning Grand Final heroics, crown Jai Newcombe as the new Mr September, and share a moment for Josh Dunkley after he smashed the finals tackling record by out-cuddling the cuddler himself, Matt Rowell.

The Zach Merrett situation at Essendon goes from bad to worse, and we put the Crows and Suns firmly under the microscope on the off-season radar after bowing out for 2025.

The boys hand over their Forecaster’s Favourite of the Week before locking in who they think will be booking their ticket to the 2025 Grand Final!
