  • Love the pod

    Love the pod all the work you all put in and share with your listeners. Always informative and helpful. Would love even more if you could please get mic levels as in sync as possible… so we don’t miss guest/panel input; some volumes are so feint! Other than that, such a fabulous pod and thank you!

  • Unlistenable

    Audio quality ever since Dos left has been bad. Most recent episode made me throw in the towel, I can’t hear half the show without adjusting volume throughout, and then getting blasted in the ear when Holmsey or Harmey talk. I’ll try again next year to see if they’ve improved.

Q: With changes to the rules expected to lower stoppages, who's your early prediction as a ruck who could go up in or keep their average value?
Nick Bryan at the Bombers, Cooper Duft-Titler for West Coast, and Kieran Briggs could all be rucks to watch for maintaining or improving average value.

Late Season Ranking Hunt | Strategy Round Table | AFL Fantasy Q&A #PODPOD
Q: For those that have Jackson at R2, is it a priority to get him back to the forward line or can it wait one more week to get a Whitfield or Steele type?
I think you can wait one more week with Jackson against the Eagles and look to upgrade to an Uber type.
