  • Speed!

    Great podcast that provides the information on player statuses and who is coming through in future drafts.

    Only negative is the guys need to speak slower. The speed they speak images them very hard to follow sometimes

  • Where are you

    Love the shoe and I know there is a lack of junior football on at the moment but - come back. Interview all the recruiters/list managers and potential picks.

  • Insight

    Insightful questions about the balance of list management decisions such as trade, draft and contracts in this current climate. I wonder how the impact cap on football spending will have on recruitment in the future especially with reduced lists.

  • No insight, no idea

    Cal Twomey - stick to draft previews/reviews mate. You have no idea outside of the this. Bat Edwards, please. If ever there was a token position given away in AFL media, this is it. Giggly, affirmation of everyone else - you’re wasting your time. Won’t tune in again - did for a few eps either side of draft and had some insight. Outside of this (particularly “Xmas wishlist ep”), you are a strong DELETE. Horrendous listening.
