The Restump Podcast JoJo and The Chief

We were all Sarim Akhtar on Saturday. Unfortunately, if only as a coping mechanism, it’s time to somehow Restump Podcast that, double negative intended, catastrophic calamity.I know it was a morning start time in WA but it wasn’t in Victoria… did we really need to be the dog’s breakfast? They should have already eaten!At the Restump we always look at every game with a wholesome holistic approach, we try to find balance, we search for the positives, we look for silver linings. There isn’t even...

Our post bye game form isn’t the Dog’s breakfast we perceive and an AM start in WA doesn’t hurt! Should we Lobby the AFL for more byes? Time to Restump Podcast the Saturday morning dog fight. For some reason we’re all of the belief we’re still in holiday mode or we’re jet lagged when we turn up after the bye and consequently our form isn’t flash. However, we’re misleading ourselves because we’re 8 wins and 7 losses from our 15 post-bye games.So, we’ve got a 53% post-bye win strike rate which ...

And Melbourne thinks it’s the world’s best at lockdowns! Somewhere, probably outside a golf course, there’d be an angry Dan Andrews. Time to Restump Podcast the dismantling of the Dees.Eighties kids will remember John ‘Hannibal’ Smith saying “I love it when a plan comes together” at the end of the A-Team episodes. It is easy to have visions of Justin Longmuir doing the same at the conclusion of Sunday’s game in Alice Springs.While you’re not being absolutely honest with yourself if you’re not...

It should have been 4 points, it was looking likely to be zero points, so we’ll grab the two points and get the hell out of Dodge! Time to Restump Podcast the two-point Pie heist.Like so many previous occasions, our beloved Fremantle Dockers have left us with mixed feelings. It was a game against a very depleted side that we should have won. It was a game that was looking like we were going to be on the end of a five-goal hiding and yet it was a game we somehow salvaged something from the wre...

No one wanted to lose Lachie Schultz but the fan’s reaction at the time was way over the top! Who is offering up a 1st rounder to get him back? Time to Restump Podcast the Friday night Pie fight.It wasn’t necessarily in a Don Corleone type of manner but Collingwood made us an offer we couldn’t refuse, and they probably didn’t have to! If only to stoke some retaliatory fire it is worth mentioning, albeit with some cherry picking embellishment, that Lachie whined that he felt disrespected,...

You thought covid was contagious! Inaccuritis is a coordination destroying mental contagion, leaving sufferers incapable of performing simple tasks. Time to Restump Podcast the point kicking epidemic. Call in a priest, this evil presence needs exorcising! Or it may be as simple as tapping David Mundy on the shoulder again and saying, “Dave, come down and show these guys how it’s done.”The last two weeks we’ve kicked 13 goals 33 behinds. We’ve never been a great goal kicking side but this...
