Across Division 1 and Division 2 we witnessed some outstanding football, thrilling finishes, standout individual performances and several results that continue to reshape the ladder as we move towards the midpoint of the season. Division 1 continues to tighten, with a number of clubs making strong statements and showing they are genuine contenders. Division 2 remains one of the most competitive competitions in recent memory, with ladder positions changing weekly and every result proving crucial in the race for September. Unfortunately, the weekend was also overshadowed by several off-field incidents involving supporters and players at multiple venues. While the vast majority of participants continue to represent their clubs with pride, these incidents have become a talking point throughout the football community and will no doubt feature in tonight's discussion.One of the major positives to emerge this week is the arrival of the new turf surface at Olympic Park. The upgraded playing surface is a significant investment in local football and is expected to provide a safer, more consistent environment for players, officials and supporters for years to come SUS'S PALLETS returns tonight with plenty to unpack. Following a flood of emails and messages throughout the week, Sus will tackle the major issues being discussed across the league, including supporter feedback, club concerns, facility updates and the topics everyone is talking about around the grounds.

Apr 801:24:03Tap to summarizeHalftime Heroes, hosted by Adam Kelly, Pete Susovich and Neil Craig. It's the age old saying.....while the parents are away the kids get into all kinds of mischief however it's not who you would think! If you're a Halftime Heroes family member then you'll remember the scallywags playing up when host Adam is away, I can tell you that Adam is in the Garage.... In the Garage for their HH debut is Chris 'Gidda' Langley, President of the Devon Meadows FNC as well as Brett 'Whale' McRae, President of Rosebud FNC. The boys drill down post 2025 GF wins and the preseason for 2026 as well as what the fans can expect this year. Sus's Pallets - The Chief takes aim at Player HQ and the stuff ups on the weekend scoreboard and still not happy he then moves on to the umpires for the weekend.......they had trouble getting their head around the 6 6 6 and the Chief had trouble getting it through those chompers......a must listen, very funny!!
