How can Geelong keep going? Each year their demise is predicted, and then they pull another Tim Kelly out from the clouds. Well now with Tim heading home, can they find another? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Isn't it all crazy? since we have no idea how much footy there is going to be happening this year, we thought we could talk about...whatever we could talk about. Looking optimistic at everything in these cray times. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Warning - this was recorded before the pandemic, but we think it's worth listening to something footy related while we wait for the world to return to normal. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A pre-pandemic look at what could have been in store for the Crows this year. Now... huh, dunno. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Oops - we recorded this one back in February, way before anyone thought the world would be put on halt for a moment. Seems now is a good time as any to clear the stocks and upload all our previews.So,Port hey? No season, no finals, no Hinkley? Maybe next year is season. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well ok - so looks like season 2020 isn't going to be normal. We did these previews a little in advance, so the double ups and other things might be slightly out of whack. But oh well, we'll solider on anyway. Let's get into it! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Brisbane went from 5 wins and bottom 4 to 2nd on the ladder. Even though it was a straight sets exit, there was lots to be excited about from 2019, and lot of optimism going into 2020. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A weird stop-start season in 2019 for the Bulldogs, one where they came home strong but had an abrupt ending. Still - we saw good things from the Bont, Naughton and Dunkley - so things are looking up for 2020.Oh, and they kicked 21 goals in a row in one game. That was fun. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rumour has it Essendon once had 21 goals in a row kicked against them. That might get a mention. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Finishing 9th used to be a bit of a curse, not being able to play finals and not getting a good draft pick either. But the Hawks don't care about draft picks anyway so onward we go. Let's see what 2020 has in store for the Hawks. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Good old North Melbourne - when it looked good, it looked very good. When it looked bad...well, at least that was round 1 and well forgotten. Will 2020 finally bring Sideshow Bob his Coleman medal? Will anyone outside of Arden St recognise Cunnington? Let's see what is in store for the Roos in 2020. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

So Ross the Boss finally got the old heave ho, hey? It was on the cards for a while but never thought they'd pull the trigger. Let's see what is in store for the new look Dockers in 2020. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The writing was on the board at the Saints as soon as Ratten was signed as an assistant coach. We're having a look here at what his first full year in charge holds for his troops. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After a long time in the sun, the swans went for some shade in 2019. With a few veterans calling it a day, and some big good moves in the off season, how will they rebound in 2020? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

2019 really was a year of two halves for Carlton. There was the sacking of a coach that was quickly followed by major optimism and then the return to off-field kerfuffles. Have the blue baggers got what they finally want with their young brigade? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What a season it wasn't for Melbourne! After all the promise of 2018, things went from bad to worse and the demons of old returned. But never fear, because there is always next year. Will the new recruits finally fill the void in the demons? We'll see. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Starting our 2020 season previews, we look at the GC Suns. After starting like a house on fire, they kind of burnt out, but their ability to retain talent suggests there might be cause for optimism in 2020 (And one of our pundits think's they'll avoid the spoon)! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're back from the summer lay off, and are starting to get our eyes all over season 2020 - but before we do that, here is a short episode pandering to what we hope is a future sponsor, or at worst an ongoing segment through the year of our hopeless attempts and attracting a sponsor. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, the draft is done, every team is training the house down, and optimism is at an all time high for every team. Surely, a flag window is just about to open for everyone! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What a big week it's been for footy journos. Fuck all has happened, so it's time to try and manufacture stories.Instead of making shit up about footy players, we talk about shit we've made up about other stuff. Variety is the spice of life donchya know? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We talk about the biggest fight between two non-fighters in Gallen v Hall, what it means when you play sport with your old man, and how sports and politics make strange situations.Oh, and Epstein Didn't Kill Himself. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's easy to look back ten years later and make judgements on what teams should have done in the draft — so that's exactly what we're doing.We look at the wins, the losses, and how John Butcher was picked so far ahead of future hall of famer, Relton Roberts. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, now that everyone enjoyed the countdown to the fixture release, we can all have a milo and a good lie down from all the excitement.We take a look at the fixture, and what it means to the pundits who are writing articles on what it means. We're meta shitposting I guess. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

So, not much going on at the moment with the footy, so we turn back the clock a decade to see how the 2009 trade period went. Hindsight is 20/20, but fuck me if some of these list managers weren't blind as fuck when they made some of these decisions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

So Trade Week is finished. If you want to know all the trades with 80% less ads and 100% less Matthew Lloyd, just click play! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, the season's over. Richmond showed they're a team of a generation, and GWS showed the equivalent of being afraid to piss in a public urinal. We congratulate the tigers, and acknowledge that the Giants supporters turned up and put it all on the line. Wish the players could say the same. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's the Tigers of old vs the team so millenial that their name needs full capslock, the GIANTS. We also discuss Nat Fyfe's solid bod, Why Buckley loves Treloar so much, and why Geelong should be disappointed with a prelim loss. It's all on the line for 2019, and Mumford is waving his nuts at ASADA and the match review panel! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Faganism ends is a gallant defeat, and West Coast fall short of a repeat. Is the AFL keen on a Collingwood v Richmond Grand Final, or is it just the latest in Dan Andrews efforts to round up all the people with outstanding warrants? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With Essendon becoming Essendidn't and the dogs losing momentum quicker than a fat ticket inspector, we talk about who is left to make it to the big dance. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Finals has started, with every team looking to stamp their authoritah, we discuss who will be duelling it out for the cup, and who is just the soggy lettuce in a Premiership kebab. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A big round of live games, punctuated by Gold Coast completely abandoning all pretense to hand Jeremy Cameron the Coleman. I'm still dirty on it and think they did my boy Benny wrong. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Absolute bags of goals kicked on one of the best weekends of footy in a long time. We talk about the new O.G. Belts in the UFC, why Melbourne are going so bad, just how can you kick 10 goals and not get any votes and how flying for round 23 just isn't for everyone. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

21 goals in a row. I still haven't recovered from that. We spend a lot of time talking about that game, and how enjoyable it was for everyone involved and how it overshaddowed the other sloppy efforts on the weekend. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Quick one this week as we've put the cue in the rack just like half the teams in the top 8. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Back in the groove now and a look back at last's weekend's games - the staging is on, the coaches are under the pump, the team is written off and finals are still over a month away. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're finally back after the flu / general soreness claimed us all last week. Great weekend of footy too, really throwing up some questions on how the season will shape. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With so much anticipation going into the round, it somehow disappointed. Inaccuracy, blow outs and results done by half time - at least Carlton still lost in a heartbreaker. This week's question though: Who do you hate most for their on field exploits? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After some technical difficulties (I knew we shouldn't have outsourced it to the score review department) this round's episode is finally done. There's been some great footy over the past week and this week looks even better. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

All 3 of us back in the same room, and getting a good look in action in the final bye round. Who can we put a line through this week, are the Scott brothers secret triplets and is this the best group of first year players we've seen? Listen and find out.

Heath is a late omission for this rounds wrap up, so Brenton is assuming hosting duties. We go through all the events of the bye round, strike a few teams out of finals contention, and suggest some teams start the tanking process. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I mean, sure we talk about round 12, and give our tips for round 13 - but really, we're all just so proud that Josh did some research and is here to present it all to you. You laugh, you'll cry, you'll learn. Maybe. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Josh and Heath go through the events of round 11 while Brenton is sidelined with general knee and ego soreness. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Can you get a new coach in a mid season draft? We have to spend some time discussing the coaching situation at North and who is next in line to say no to moving to Arden St. This episode coming at you like a Gablett punch to the face - expected, but still low impact.

9 rounds are down, and after a few too many elbows to the head we've decided to climb down from the post and give this cheating umpire a piece of our collective minds. Footy talk as well as some discussion on what the inlaws buy you for presents. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It was a big round for unimportant crap around the game, and some half decent footy. Bit of a technical glitch and we missed recording a bit of talk around the Port/Crows and Roos/Cats games, but rest assured Josh was not happy about the MRO decisions and we're blaming the AFL gagging us on that glitch.

Here is our take on all the hapenings inm round 7 of the 2019 AFL season!It wasn't an exciting round, so delve into some tangents on this one. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Looking back on the easiest to tip round of the season so far. We limit the talk on the boos and the umpires because that's boring, and instead focus on the greatest pre-game moves that some teams could pull that would put them into legend status.
