  • Good, Bad and Ugly

    The Good - Saturday show is generally a good listen, Simmo has been a great addition.

    The Bad - Sunday show can be a bit hit and miss

    The Ugly - Cam Luke seems to think this is his personal soapbox. Rarely shuts up and constantly wants to speak over everyone else.

  • Great podcast

    Love this podcast - especially when Gerard is the host. Favourite guest is always David King for me - but Dermie is often interesting as well.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Round 21 - West Coast Backline Coach Mitch Duncan | Sunday Crunch Time (02/08/26)
Q: What has been the impact of Jinby's injury and Bazzo stepping up?
Losing Jinby was tough, but Bazzo has stepped up and elevated his game, which demonstrates how opportunities arise and players can grow when given responsibility.
Round 21 - West Coast Backline Coach Mitch Duncan | Sunday Crunch Time (02/08/26)
Q: How do you view travel for the players and coaching staff, given the Perth-based schedule?
From a coaching perspective, two nights away is actually quite productive; you can get a lot done on the plane and in hotel rooms, and the players adapt their routines to make it work.
Round 21 - West Coast Backline Coach Mitch Duncan | Sunday Crunch Time (02/08/26)
Q: What prompted the decision to start tagging opponents?
We noticed that the really good players were having a massive influence against us, so we needed to negate that as best we could, while also giving some of our own players a chance to contribute in other roles.
Round 20 - Brisbane Lions Backline Coach Dale Morris - (26/07/26)
Q: How does the box communication work during the game to implement adjustments?
We have a clear line through Danny Daly to Fags, and the assistant coaches feed messages up and down; vision can be cut or shown to players in real time to implement changes and matchups.
Round 20 - Brisbane Lions Backline Coach Dale Morris - (26/07/26)
Q: What changes did you make early in the year to fix defensive issues and improve team performance?
We reviewed our play across offense, defense, and contest, identified gaps, leaned on continuity, and leveraged improved injury management to stabilize the group and push the team back to a higher level.
