  • 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.

  • Remove Sam

    This could be great podcast if Sam wasn’t so smug. His smugness and arrogance about mid season draft, wanting floating fixtures shows no care. Not sure if it’s a facade or he’s deadset flog. Sounds like flog and looks like one too. Maybe Mitch could do the show alone.
