- Great work Sam
I just read some other reviews and wanted to say awesome work. I used to think Sam was a bit of a pain until I started listening to Tradies. I now really like his thoughts and actually find him to be a refreshing change to most other media guys. Don’t change either Mitch we always liked you. Sold me early when you said what if your hobbies are having a beer and a punt with mates.

Australia9 days ago - Zac Bailey < Izak Rankine
Love the podcast. Am a recent Media and Comms grad, so if you ever need more hands, please reach out. Had to comment as the take the Izak Rankine is better than Zac Bailey is a travesty. 18 clubs would pay Zac Bailey more than Rankine.
Apple Podcasts5grammw12Australia4 months ago - Figjam Sam
Sam’s arrogance in his footy opinions is unbearable. While both might be great news reporters, the A-Grade segment just reinforced that they should leave the analysis to others. The insight was lacking and criteria contradictory throughout to support his selections, and the smug delivery made it even worse. A tough listen.
