So how does Dan Houston get to the Pies now?

It’s been a long week at the end of a long footy season but at least now, trades are starting to come through. But it was touch and go there for a few days where it felt like more column inches were dedicated to zero trades than ever before. This week Glenn McFarlane joins the show to talk through what has been achieved, what’s fallen through and what might still be to come over the next 24 hours.

45 votes - Has the Brownlow jumped the shark?

Patrick Cripps didn’t just break the previous Brownlow record, he obliterated it. And even though Nick Daicos bettered it too, he was the length of the straight behind in second. Was Cripps really that good in 2024? And all the leadup to the AFL grand final. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Something's got to give after marathon Tribunal session

Only two cases were heard but still the tribunal sat until 12.30 on Wednesday morning and Josh Barnes was covering it until the end. It's a situation that should never happen again.

More Will & Scotty, Less Slobbo Robbo

Neil The Cleaner

Robbo is a flog!!! Let Mick, Glenn, Scotty & the ultra-impressive & polished Will Hogan take the reigns. Leave Robbo to dig through trash cans & focus on Fox Footy tripe. Podcast is always better without Robbo. And bring back Lauren Wood!!! Why did she leave in the first place!!! 5th ranked AFL podcast for a reason

Still the VFL

18:50 mark. Won’t have any problem with interstate teams travelling at all. Interstate, it’s the VFL and if they are ‘interstate’ the teams still have to travel to the a hole of australia, the worst weather in Australia but hey, there is no travel. This sort of nonsense never happened on the Coodas. At least their nonsense talk was engineered as nonsense.

From the Myst

I’m serious when I say the 2-guys-1-cup podcasters know more about football clubs and have better insights (and way more entertainment!) than these guys. These just guys just rehash the established and tiring narrative from other AFL sources.
