Customer Reviews
Entertaining and informative
I’ve been listening to this pod for years and still love it. The weekly tipping episode is really good too. One guest I’ve enjoyed hearing from is Matthew Stokes, whose views and insights are refreshing and honest, so if there’s more chance to get him on it’d be great
Episode 9
I really enjoy this podcast,however it is the AFL is it not? The hosts are so Victorian centric . Caroline Wilson does actually speak of other teams.This episode far too parochial for me this week! I will continue to listen as I walk around the Albury hills.
Hasn’t improved the Sydney ,GWS game I think Sydney Swans won & all we heard about as usual was GWS, is it just too hard to say something positive about the team that is on top of the ladder. What is wrong with you?
Ditch McClure
Love listening to this podcast during footy season. The usual trio are a great mix who are respectful and enjoy intelligent banter…but why inflict Sam McClure on us?? Nobody wants to listen to his try-hard & cringey interjections that prove he’s not at the same level as standard hosts.
Just give up on this experiment and understand nobody wants to hear him no matter how much he’s pushed onto us.
