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.

Jake Waterman's amazing yet frustrating season
Q: How has Marcus Herbert adapted to AFL life after a rapid debut?
Herbert appeared unfazed by the spotlight in his debut and spoke about the pinch-me moment of playing before a large home crowd, showing maturity beyond his years and promising potential for the Eagles' future.
Jake Waterman's amazing yet frustrating season
Q: What stood out most about Jake Waterman's season so far?
Waterman has the most score involvements and scoring shots in the league this season, signaling high impact when he finishes plays, though there are concerns about consistency and finishing the chances in key moments.
What to expect from the Socceroos vs USA in Seattle
Q: Did Tony Popovich tailor the lineup for the US game, or was the Turkey match just a one-off experiment?
The expectation is that Popovich will balance sticking with players who performed well against Turkey while making only necessary changes, as evidenced by previous selections and the discussion of potential tweaks.
What to expect from the Socceroos vs USA in Seattle
Q: How big will this rivalry feel in Seattle, and can the Aussies leverage it to their advantage?
Ben Smith suggests the rivalry is magnified by World Cup context and past results, with Australia viewing Seattle as a platform to assert themselves, while the US wants to demonstrate they can handle the pressure too.
How the Socceroos can secure their spot in the final 32
Q: How does the probability of progression look at the time of recording?
The current odds show about a 91% chance of progression to the Round of 32, with second place in the group as the target, subject to the Paraguay result and potential changes in fixtures.
