Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

KB's fears for Carlton, Opening Round feedback, and how did we end up talking about ventriloquist
Q: What will Carlton need to do to bounce back this week?
KB and Doc suggest sticking with a bold, people-driven lift-spirits plan and leveraging experience to counter Carlton's vulnerabilities, while also acknowledging the need for practical on-field tactics.
Greg Swann's upset KB, Turfy's Cox Plate frustration, Craig Williams ahead of the Flemington Carnival
Q: Craig, there's a lot of discussion about whether it should be 2,500 meters or 2,000 meters. What's your thoughts on that?
Well, my thoughts aren't going to change it, so it doesn't really matter. I'd rather not get into the debate, that's for the trainers and breeders.
Rankine's lengthy ban, AFL's never been tougher to umpire, Choco outed at Melbourne
Q: What are your thoughts on the five weeks?
Five weeks is a hefty penalty; many believe it's excessive.
Turfy's Italian venture, Fyfe's retirement, Flemington for the Cox Plate & Trent Cotchin our headline act
Q: Why did you choose to pursue a podcast instead of a more traditional media career?
I wanted to do something with a genuine purpose that addresses the transition for athletes post-career.
Turfy's Italian venture, Fyfe's retirement, Flemington for the Cox Plate & Trent Cotchin our headline act
Q: What was the motivation behind your marathon run?
The motivation was both personal, having faced my own brain tumor, and a drive to raise funds for brain cancer research.
