  • Eddies Chocolate Factory

    This just felt like Eddie (and hit mates) weekly adventures in Melbourne, his weekly run ins or greatest hits - not worth a listen

  • Eddies Giants hatred

    Eddie can’t hide his hatred for the club.

    Giants have never been fulltime in Sydney.

    The club should be called Western Sydney Giants and be fulltime here. Easter show is a rubbish excuse.

    We get better crowds than Canberra, both being part time, and more potential growth if all in. Dave Matthews is the most protected Club boss in sport. An absolute failure or was he always trying to kill the club here for his political ideals and wants in Canberra.

    A joke how the people of Western Sydney have be... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TRADE DAY 6: Matthew Lloyd breaks down Essendon's pursuit of rival STARS
Q: Can Sydney get Nick Murray or Sam DeConing in a trade?
The discussion suggests it's possible in theory but depends on how much draft capital Sydney is willing to part with and how much patience North Melbourne and Adelaide have in balancing future assets with present needs.
TRADE DAY 4: Lloydy casts doubt on Kangaroos’ MONSTER Blakey trade move
Q: If North Melbourne land Nick Blakey, will that hurt their chances of landing another key defender like Murray later on?
The host and guest discuss how acquiring Blakey could influence draft capital and the need for a complementary defensive asset, implying teams weigh how one big move affects subsequent recruitment and structural balance.
TRADE DAY 4: Lloydy casts doubt on Kangaroos’ MONSTER Blakey trade move
Q: From Simon, are you as surprised as me that Adelaide have been close to inactive this trade period?
The guest suggests that Adelaide tends to be conservative under their leadership, focusing on midfield development rather than making big, impulsive moves, which reflects a broader strategy rather than a lapse in activity.
The boys discuss the FIRST thing they would both fix at Essendon
Q: I'd love to ask the two of you, if you walked into the club tomorrow as a head coach, what is the first thing you are looking to fix?
The first focus would be defense and the defensive system, followed by emphasizing development fundamentals so players at all levels are clear on basic concepts, which should guide preseason and long-term planning.
'Bring the fans along for the ride' - Jimmy and Sam discuss how the AFL should address controversial umpiring decisions
Q: What would you change to improve umpire accountability and fan trust?
Introduce a weekly, rotating briefing from senior AFL officials that explains the biggest calls and the interpretation rules behind them, plus publish video context from umpire perspectives to help fans see the decision process.
