We're back - in mini pod form!Matt and Liv are giving you all a September treat and running through each team's signing window, starting with the reigning premiers - the Melbourne Vixens. And before you start yelling at your listening device, we recorded this before the Vixens (unsurprisingly) announced Di Honey as their new coach.
Keep an eye on your feed as well, we've got plenty more in the pipeline!

We still want to hear from you though!
