  • Three betas all trying to alpha

    Old school journos with old journo egos talk at each other for an hour. Love the smell of their own inside scoops. More a footy industry podcast than a footy podcast. You can tell the compere grew up losing arguments around the dinner table; always wants to have the last word.

  • Time to join Sam Newman Caro

    Caro is seriously on the decline. She has gone senile with such Trump like statements made and the obvious lack of the understanding of the geography of Australia.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'A real salary cap pinch': Swans' Curnow hitch
Q: Is it possible that some of the higher profile deals, Oliver Petracca and Curnow, have all been agreed to in principle?
While it's a good theory, these deals really need to be perceived positively and often won't be agreed in principle until they are finalized.
'Melbourne have thrown him out'
Q: Is it time to call this what it is, a rebuild?
Yes, it's a rebuild but not from scratch; it's a proactive renovation on the run.
'You couldn't make this up'
Q: Can you explain just a little bit, Sam, of how this got into the public domain?
Sam details how a group of Brisbane players were implicated through captured social media that revealed personal matters affecting team dynamics.
Straight for the jugular
Q: Has Brodie Grundy been the recruit of the year so far?
Both agree he has been one of the best recruits relative to his cost, significantly outperforming expectations.
Straight for the jugular
Q: Jake, what's wrong with Frio?
Jake mentioned there are problems forward of the ball, and they play a style that's too careful.
