Freo Dockers superfan Rove McManus on how to beat the Sydney Swans, and what he'd do if Freo won the Grand Final

Rove McManus joins Two Good Sports for a Freo fan therapy session, reflecting on the Dockers' historic season, the heartbreak of 2013, and why Freo supporters still can't quite believe a premiership is possible. He shares how he became a lifelong Dockers fan, gives us the lowdown on "Warfie Time", and explains what making (and potentially winning) a grand final would mean to him after decades of support. Along the way, the chat drifts into WA footy culture, merch rivalries, a secret about Optus Stadium guitarist Troy Nababan, Rove's WWE obsession, voice acting and Finding Nemo, and his unlikely Olympic commentary career.
