Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 22 ratings
  • Not as good as it used to be.

    Please stop dedicating 10 minutes to Harley Reid every episode.

    Plenty of other young talent in the AFL that fans want to hear about.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Derby preview: Big names return for the Eagles & Dockers
Q: What's the market doing for the Western Derby, Shorty?
The betting market favors Fremantle, with Freo as the likely winner at around $1.9, while West Coast sits at higher odds around $7.50, suggesting Fremantle is expected to hold the advantage in the game.
Why Freo deserve an Anzac Day game every year
Q: How might Freo's fixture and travel demands influence their ability to sustain Anzac Day games year after year?
The discussion acknowledges six‑ and nine‑day breaks and travel burdens, proposing that Freo could be paired with opponents or adjusted buys to balance the schedule, ensuring no team is disproportionately affected while keeping the Anzac Day tradition intact.
Why Freo deserve an Anzac Day game every year
Q: What are your thoughts on Freo potentially making Anzac Day a regular fixture regardless of the day of the week the game falls?
The hosts suggest that the AFL can adjust fixtures to accommodate Freo if they have earned the right, and that a consistent Freo‑Anzac Day game could become feasible with smart scheduling and inter‑state considerations, possibly involving Adelaide to create a national appeal.
Carlo Tizzano opens up on Wallabies heartache & World Cup dreams
Q: As soon as I saw that World Cup, I was looking at going, yep, this is going to be me. Did that date get circled?
I've already thought about that since the day I did that press conference... That's the first thing I was picturing.
Carlo Tizzano opens up on Wallabies heartache & World Cup dreams
Q: How much did it hurt last year to not be able to take the field against the All Blacks at Optus Stadium?
That hurt. That really hurt. It brings me a bit of emotion now, especially because my partner would have been there and more family would have been there.
