We also unpack how coaching, identity and community are shaping the new national landscape as Nick sits down with player agent Tino Mjawe. Adrian Arciuli drops in with 'report cards' for every group as we head into the finals before Nick and Tino make bold picks for the weekend’s headline clashes featuring Marconi, Avondale, Heidelberg, South Melbourne and NWS Spirit.
