  • Disappointed

    Here's the part on back chat they didn't hand pick from there last episode regarding Lachie Schultz.

    - Overlooked in 3 drafts.

    - Went to Bali instead of Fitness Test with Freo.

    - Walls lied about height, skin tests & beep test to RL to make sure they'd recruit him.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BackChat with Adam Griffiths
Q: If Perth Glory had infinite money to sign any marquee player in the world, who would you sign?
Harland is the immediate standout choice for a marquee due to global appeal and potential crowd impact, with Declan Rice as another top option; the idea is to inspire fans and raise the profile of the club.
BackChat with Stan Lazaridis
Q: How did you approach representing Australia and your country on the world stage?
I treated it as a huge privilege, embraced the responsibility, and always aimed to give back to the fans and community who supported us through thick and thin.
BackChat with Tom Rockliff
Q: What was your greatest sporting achievement off the field, beyond football?
Rockliff emphasizes personal growth and resilience, citing the decision to stop drinking after a difficult period as a transformative moment that improved mental clarity, energy, and overall life balance.
Episode 288 - Shaun McManus Talks Freo, Egypt Peaked Early & Hammer Loves Coke
Q: Would you like to kick off?
The hosts invited Shaun to share his views on Brisbane as premiership favorites, laying groundwork for a lively debate.
The Footy Interchange Exchange | Freo's list, Jackson's Brownlow chances and how to fix the fixture
Q: Is Jackson a Brownlow contender for Freo?
No. Jackson is not expected to win the Brownlow; Freo has too many strong players and a spread of votes.
