Robbie Von and Nick Ristovic are back and in fine form for another massive week of AFL punting, F1 chat and listener questions — and this episode has one of the best punting stories you'll ever hear on a sports betting podcast.

The boys kick off with listener questions, with Nick breaking down Freo's most improved players this season — hint, it's not just one bloke, it's the whole bottom five lifting — while Robbie answers the Monaco F1 question everyone's been asking. Kimi Antonelli absolutely dominated in Monaco, now leads by 66 points and looks like he's going to be very hard to stop. Barcelona is next and Verstappen loves that circuit — so it's not over yet.

Back to the footy, and Nick drops an absolute monster multi spanning five games across the entire round paying a stonking $18 — featuring legs from Adelaide v Western Bulldogs, Geelong v Gold Coast, Melbourne v Essendon, North v West Coast and Brisbane v Richmond. This is the one to screenshot and get on early before the odds move.

The $1,000 to $5,000 challenge took a brutal hit last week — Adelaide beat Geelong by a point, the Dogs beat Hawthorn by six and Sydney only scraped home by two. Kitty drops back to $750. But Robbie fights back this week with a tight three-legger — Geelong, Melbourne and Sydney head to heads at $2.13 — to try to claw back to the thousand.

And to finish, Robbie tells the punting story of the season. Alana — his partner — accidentally backed Scott Pendlebury 20+ disposals and Collingwood to win by exactly 10 points at 100-1 on Sportsbet. With three minutes to go Pendlebury was on 21 touches and Collingwood led by 10. She had five bucks on it. Five hundred dollars later, the Punt Pals household was going absolutely ballistic.

This episode covers:

• Listener questions — Freo's most improved & Monaco F1 wrap

• Monster 18-leg multi across five games paying $18 — get on early!

The boys are BACK in the studio and firing on all cylinders. After a week off and a hybrid episode that didn't quite hit the same, Robbie Von and Nick Ristovic are reunited and ready to roll for what shapes as one of the biggest weekends of the AFL season.

Freo are breaking records, the Dreamtime clash has extra meaning this year, and the $1,000 to $5,000 challenge is officially underway — Robbie throws $250 on a four-game multi paying $3.22 that could take the kitty to over $1,600. It's bold, it's beautiful and it's very Punt Pals.

The boys break down all the big Round 12 matchups, including a deeply emotional Queen's Birthday clash between Collingwood and Melbourne — dedicated to the great Neil Danaher, who passed away after a 27-month battle with MND. The Big Freeze tribute promises to be the most powerful yet, and the boys pay their respects before diving into their SGM picks.

Robbie has four same game multis across the weekend — a five-legger on the Dreamtime clash at $7.90 featuring Zach Merrett, Adam Saad marks and Will Hayward fantasy points, plus plays on Freo v St Kilda, Collingwood v West Coast and GWS v Brisbane. All multis go up on the Instagram page so you can follow along in real time.

Nick then wraps up with the Belmont Park racing rundown — the Racken Tour Stakes is the feature on Saturday with Ladies Pro at $3.60 shaping as the value play against red-hot favourite Hot and High, who's coming off five straight wins. Plus — if you're heading to the West Coast game at Optus on Saturday night, why not park at Belmont for free, back a winner and head over? Nick's plan and it's a bloody good one.
