The absolute state of Macca 😂 he's bloody great when he's grumpy
Who enjoyed Macca's sauna session? 🤣
hahahaha Macca on fire! raging at dinner time! hahaha
Pearl is my favorite player ever, he was so silky when he ran the ball
Lynn had some good questions for him, he could've kept on going if he wasn't interrupted
Ahhh….so that's what personality and a real spark looks like….
The moral is….don't mess with a wealthy pricks sauna.
Hate to be caught walking on his lawn.
Ahhh don't knock yourself Macca you were pretty good mate
Love this as always, Bring back "that guy" 😅
Need some content with Macca and Connor after the game in Akld
Love Connor, great edition to the show. Lenny not so much
