Then, in an import stock watch, Andrew Carr makes an early case and Skylar Mays still has a lot to prove. Josh Oduro gets his own segment after a monster week where he's announced himself as an MVP smoky. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Then a dive into the real issue in Adelaide after the South East Melbourne Phoenix’s historic shooting night, and ask whether Melbourne United are turning a corner after their win over the Sydney Kings.
