  • Quality Kibble and NONE of that old man Dribble 😁

    Refreshing, Hilarious, these three have a great mix of charisma and insight, without try hard, look at me antics of other male dominated sports pods. I can’t wait to see where they take the show!

    FINALLY, something that actually sounds different from the rest of the footy pods. I was a skeptic but these blokes have brushed that away.

    3 unique perspectives from 3 unique personalities and the drop ins from their mates. Leggy, Ollie and TA cover the game from all angles with Leggy’s player diaries to TA’s bants and Ollie effortlessly steering the conversation. It all comes together in a way that feels like listening to old mates.

    Whether you’re new to footy or a seasoned nuffie, The Ma... more

  • Awake, alert, alive

    Footy pods with the same old POVs were leaving me sleepy. Until I found these masters of the craft. Now I am perpetually awake. My sleep doctor is thrilled.

  • Pretty meh

    Feels more like filler chat than actual content. There’s plenty of talking, very little substance. Can’t really get around the name of the pod either
