Western Bulldogs superstar Marcus Bontempelli settles into the co-hosting chair for this week’s edition of Freedom in a Cage.

With Chris ‘Big Ant’ Anstey set to miss the next two weeks due to international basketball coaching duties, ‘The Bont’ took his chance to audition for the short-term role of Freedom co-host.

The good news?  He passed the test with flying colours, and will join Bob in the caravan park for the next fortnight. 

But don’t take our word for it – tune in to this week’s episode to hear the lads tackle all the big issues, including the future of AFL trading and drafting, the length of the AFL season, the NBA finals and the Bulldogs’ American sports influences, and Bontempelli’s brief trip to Noosa for the bye round.
