Whilst scouring the Saturday Rub archives we found a classic memory that is probably slightly too short to be a main episode but is also too good not to post - so we figured stuff it, let's do a bonus episode. In August 2010 James Brayshaw picked his team of the best Triple M Nicknames and called a mock passage of play involving all of them - enjoy.----We're dropping a new (or old?)

Spud Frawley went the blub when he introduced Plugger Lockett at St Kilda's Hall of Fame in 2010, which naturally the other Saturday Rub boys poked fun at every opportunity.

In the 2013 finals, the Saturday Rub crew took submissions from the family asking for nominations for the inaugural All Triple M Team - until Gaz took over and more or less picked the team himself. The team wasn't picked on form, more about which players went about the Triple M way, were grouse to watch, or were just plain funny.----We're dropping a new (or old?)
