It’s been a big week in AFL as the top eight starts to shape up, so join Eddie McGuire, Sam Newman, Brendan Fevola and Shane Crawford for another massive Footy Show tonight at 8.30pm on Nine.

After Melbourne’s huge win in the west, vice-captain Jack Viney is on the panel to discuss the club’s first taste of finals joy since 2006 and his hopeful return to the side in September. Viney’s teammate, gun midfielder Clayton Oliver, will be in the studio ahead of the Dees’ clash with the Giants to talk about his great form and how the team is preparing for the last round and the finals.

We check in with Richmond veteran Shaun Grigg after the Tigers’ narrow win against Essendon last week to review his club’s incredible season, what we can expect from the ladder leaders, and his future at the Tigers next year.

With one round to go, the panel reveal their Top 5 final-round moments of all time – which moment will be number one?

We cross to Billy Brownless and Nathan Brown at the Melbourne trial of Sportsbet’s Double Barrel competition which sees the winner receive $50,000 for themselves and $50,000 for their local club. Sam heads to the USA where he interviews Hollywood superstar Mark Wahlberg and former UFC and current WWE woman’s champion Rhonda Rousey ahead of the premiere of their action thriller, Mile 22, and also catches up with an ex-AFL player with a fascinating story.

Former Hawk, Saint and Magpie-turned-entrepreneur, Nick Stone, has introduced Aussie coffee culture to the United States with his café chain, Bluestone Lane. Find out just how Nick is taking on coffee giant Starbucks, but more importantly, what Sam thinks of his coffee.

Eddie and the gang will have all the information you need to get your hands on tickets to the Grand Final Footy Show spectacular at Rod Laver Arena as it celebrates 25 years.

Plus, Damian Barrett continues to break the biggest stories in AFL, and Almost Footy Legends showcases the best moments in local footy.
