  • Love the guests/pundits

    Love the guests and pundits - all add so much knowledge and info. However Ben Cameron, it might be OK for the pods but during live calls, a bit more holding up their achievements and less unnecessary, disrespectful unfunny jabs/“jokes” towards your colleagues listeners might warm to you more and not be so indifferent or worse.

  • Footy talk without the hyperbole

    Most footy media is awful these days. This podcast just talks footy without looking for clicks and “engagement”. Refreshing.

  • Love the pod!!

    My favourite macro and micro footy content!! Love Corbin and Ben, and their great friends including Marc ‘Coachella’ Murphy. Do wish we got the Sunday AFL and Sunday Footy Forum shows alongside Ben’s great new Sunday content. Paraphrasing what Corbin says about the wildcard rounds: more footy content is good!

  • Disappointing

    The quality of this podcast has dropped significantly in 2026. It now has a much bigger focus on Melbourne talk back rubbish. Very disappointing :(

Q: What did Chris Fagan think about the Logan Morris after-siren incident and the potential goal decision?
