A great podcast from great blokes who are great fans of the Essendon Bombers. In-depth, statistically informed analysis of the team and playing style that isn’t boring, staid or too complex. I really can’t recommend this podcast enough!

One of, if not my favourite Essendon podcast. The guys just give a different outlook on the game and why things may and may not be happening. Tuning in weekly has really developed my knowledge of the game and given me a greater understanding, not just from an emotional fan perspective but a tactical one. Keep up the great work!
