  • ads falling from the sky

    i’ve just unsubscribed as your idea of dropping sponsorship ads randomly in the middle of the content is offensive and defeats the purpose of supplying a podcast.

    Disappointing as the content is great.

  • Please fix audio levels

    Great show, but the audio levels are terrible. One commentator can hardly be heard and the next breaks your ears. And the ads are so much louder than the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SATURDAY FOOTY PREVIEW #2: Finals Week Two (September 5, 2026)
Q: What is the key factor that could decide the Brisbane-Sydney clash today?
Defensive pressure and the ability to control the tempo, with Brisbane aiming to slow Sydney's ball movement while Sydney tries to exploit turnover opportunities.
Josh Rachele opens up on Matthew Nicks' coaching future
Q: There was a big tackle from Buku Khamis during the game and I saw you get up somewhat gingerly. Were you worried you were going to be taken off for a concussion check or something and potentially miss next week?
No, I wasn't, mate. It was more my shoulder, to be honest. It was a bit more of my cheek. I was fine. My shoulder was actually pretty sore from it now.
Swans footy boss addresses bombshell Nick Blakey trade report
Q: What has that experience been like for you to have to deal with this on a very personal level?
Leon explains that no one can be fully prepared for such situations, emphasizes the ongoing nature of the investigation, and underlines the importance of addressing emotions while remaining focused on football and club decisions.
How list guru Gary Buckenara would go about rebuilding Essendon
Q: How would you go about rebuilding Essendon?
The approach starts with a clear assessment of strengths and gaps, prioritising where the defence and forwards need reinforcement, then balancing the mix of young talent with experienced players to bridge the gap while developing a sustainable list over several years.
Terry Wallace's advice for new Essendon coach Mark McVeigh
Q: What's the core advice for Mark McVeigh as he steps into the Essendon role?
Wallace emphasizes staying true to himself, not trying to please everyone, and learning on the job while developing his own unique approach rather than merely following trends.
