While George continues his well-earned break, Luke Thompson joined Jason Adams for this week’s Grey Areas.

The pair covered plenty of ground – with Luke offering the inside word into Team Thompson’s kennels, including a notable addition with He’s A Pearl now part of the team.

There was no shortage of talking points either. In fact, the amount of information floating across Jason’s ‘desk’ ahead of Luke’s appearance was enough to keep Jason busy all week and probably best not turned into a drinking game.

Among it all came a moment that would make any proud lawn lover wince, with one particular story leaving Jason shaking his head.

On the form front, Jason shared his selections for The Meadows on Saturday night, and even dipped into the AFL, tipping GWS to account for North Melbourne.

Luke cast the net wide with his own multi:

• Ballarat (Tonight): Ring – Race 5, Box 2
• Bendigo (Tonight): Above Them All – Race 9, Box 5
• Ben Thompson’s Best Ride: Race 6, No. 6 at Eagle Farm
• AFL: Essendon to get the job done on Saturday night
