    “Connection piece”, “loyalty piece”, “unity piece”, “leadership piece”, “maturity piece”, “trade piece”.

    Worse than Sam “Space” Edmund who’s a ‘journalist’ piece in the media space.

  • 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 18 - Sunday Crunch Time - Full Show (12.07.26)
Q: What is the biggest storyline surrounding Geelong after Jeremy Cameron's injury?
Cameron's availability for the rest of the season is in doubt, which significantly dampens Geelong's premiership chances and forces them to adjust their forward structure and depth.
Round 17 - St Kilda Assistant Robert Harvey (5.07.26)
Q: What are the priorities for today's match and the rest of the season?
The priority is to replicate and sustain the strengths the team has shown—defensive structure, contest, and transition speed—while improving finishing and managing the forward line to maximize scoring opportunities.
Round 17 - St Kilda Assistant Robert Harvey (5.07.26)
Q: What are the key adjustments for integrating players back from the VFL and dealing with injuries?
The discussion centers on returning players finding a balance between midfield time and forward impact, with explicit emphasis on getting the best out of players like Philippou and Trevaglia and ensuring players regain form in the VFL before a proposed return to AFL action.
Round 17 - St Kilda Assistant Robert Harvey (5.07.26)
Q: How do you assess the season so far and what needs to change going into the last eight weeks?
Harvey acknowledges progress in several areas but stresses the need to finish games better and to maintain performance under pressure, with particular focus on finishing plays and elevating consistency.
Round 14 - Geelong skipper Patrick Dangerfield (13.06.26)
Q: Danger, do you play the game differently on home ground compared to other venues like the MCG?
He explains that ground dimensions and space affect how they spread and attack, with a focus on matching their front-half pressure and using space more effectively rather than relying on a single game plan, and notes the importance of staying adaptable.
