  • 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.

Tasmania's head of recruiting sheds light on club's first player signings
Q: What about the possibility of players moving during the season or declaring their intentions publicly?
That's not something the AFL has generally allowed yet; the movement is still to be managed carefully and primarily through established channels, with attention to player development and club needs.

Q: In terms of next year, are there agreements with some players already to generate buzz?
There's interest from players nationwide, but there hasn't been confirmation of firm commitments to move mid-season; it's still early and the club is exploring mature-age players and other options before finalizing any movements.

Q: Now, just explain it to the listeners who don't know how this works. So these are babies, aren't they, these kids?
Yes, they're effectively one-year pre-draft players. The club has a two-year concession to take a total of 12 players, with a minimum of four and a maximum of eight in a given year. This year the club took seven and plans to take more next year, with housing and welfare managed by Emmett Dully and a clear relocation plan for the players.
The latest on Bobby Hill's future, Wharfie Time call, trade news and more
Q: Is there a realistic market for Bobby Hill to return to AFL footy at a new club?
The consensus is that market interest is limited at the moment because clubs are cautious about delivering on commitments; if any club pursues him, it would likely be through a gradual pathway such as an SSP and lower-level exposure before listing him.

Q: If he does move to another club next year, would Collingwood be entitled to compensation?
Ryan clarifies that the compensation tends to be through salary-cap adjustments rather than a direct transfer fee, meaning the most likely outcome is Collingwood losing only the remaining contract years from their cap, not a separate payment.
