  • Great summary

    The boys provide an insightful summary of the thoughts and emotions common to all Lions fans. The logical bias is well received.

    Nice to put the euphoric events of the last two years into perspective via two people with their finger on the pulse.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#148: Footy’s Newest Rivalry
Q: What do you make of the off-field spice around this Saints-Lions matchup?
Charlie suggests the heat largely comes from leadership disputes and public statements, which could influence on-field intensity if players buy into that momentum, but the real test is whether the rivalry translates into a close, competitive game on Saturday.
#147: SCG Shellacking
Q: What are the biggest concerns after the opening loss to Sydney?
The hosts highlight the balance between loss of key defenders, the speed of the game, and the integration of new players like Draper, Annabel, and McCarthy, while also noting the need for better defensive structure and midfield cohesion to restore confidence.
#107: The Comeback Kings
Q: What's your thoughts on Oscar Allen?
Michael Whiting believes that Brisbane has a good track record of turning injured players into their best versions and is optimistic about acquiring Oscar Allen, whom he considers an exceptional forward with a lot of potential despite current injury concerns.
#97: The Voice Of September
Q: What are your thoughts on the idea of the Lions refreshing their club song?
A discussion around this topic emerges, highlighting the strong feedback from fans about the idea of revitalizing the song with a historical touch, which seems to resonate well with listeners.
#97: The Voice Of September
Q: What was happening in the commentary box during those late moments of the game?
