Customer Reviews
Calling time
I just want to drop this is in here and say a massive thank you to you blokes. I have been a long time listener purely for the banter and your content has also helped me out massively with my game!( finished 6k club this year) Mainly as a shift worker your pod has been incredible on the long commute home after night shifts and early morning wake ups. My friends and family are not into footy let alone fantasy so I feel connected with you blokes even more. Unfortunately i won’t be able to tune in next season as my family and I are travelling the country in our caravan. Keep up the work fellas truly is an amazing listen and thank you all for being teachers ! Brett
Small Potatoes
The small potato segment is by far the highest quality podcast content of 2023. If that 4 minutes of priceless mirth is not able to get you from the 2nd best sports podcast to the top, nothing will.
Don’t lose faith though Warnie, potatoes are versatile. He may have needed a jacket on Mars this week, but you can never beat a good tiger roast!
Big dogs for a reason
Been listening to these three big horse legends for years now and I’m a better fantasy player for it.
Awesome tips and advice for new players and the seasoned veteran, keep up the great work fellas 💪
