  • Opening ad?

    Do you understand how painful it is to be greeted by a 200bpm Kmart dance beat at full volume? I listen to podcasts on a platform which autoplays the next podcast. After your podcast has caused me to drop my sandwich on several occasions in order to save my eardrums, I’m unsubscribing. Sorry guys the pod is fine but this can’t go on.

    Decent podcast but someone buy Damien Barrett a thesaurus. If I hear the phrase “when it’s all said and done” again I’m gonna loose it. It could make a good drinking game, you’ll be wrecked by the end of podcast though..

    Why on earth would any of you refer to a player as having a road kill head ? Pretty ordinary form.I expect a better level of journalism than that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lions roaring again, a GIANT problem and is Richmond a destination club?
Q: Do you agree that Richmond can still be a destination club given their current win-loss record?
No. The panel argues that nine wins from 60 games under Adam Uze isn't sellable as a destination club, and that rebuilding decisions have long-term consequences beyond short-term gains.
Story behind the story: Reid all about Harley
Q: What changes did Reid make to his training and preparation that helped him transition into a career-best season?
The conversation covers Reid training differently in the pre-season, focusing on power athlete development and leadership responsibilities, with input from teammates and coaches.
Story behind the story: Reid all about Harley
Q: When did you first hear of Harley Reid and how did the hype begin for you as a journalist?
Cal Twomey explains the emergence of Reid in Bendigo Pioneers' games and the early attention Reid drew as a potential top draft pick, shaping the storyline he followed through the draft year.
Story behind the story: Why Shai Bolton is one of the most watchable players in the game
Q: What factors are driving Shai Bolton's stellar season in 2026?
Bolton's improvement is anchored in his off-field stability, his transition to a midfield-forward balance, and his fit within Fremantle's structure, which has unlocked his best footy while allowing him to deliver high-impact performances week after week.
Damo on how Voss interview came to be, and which Lion does Mullin go to?
Q: What are your thoughts on the broader implications of a coach not doing a traditional press conference?
The discussion centers on the unusual nature of the absence of a press conference and the alternatives of one-on-one interviews as a more controlled environment for candid responses.
