I'm an American that just found the AFL last year, and I now love the game in no small part to the 3 of you guys making me laugh each week and also giving the occasional decent advice. I don't know a single person who knows one thing about the AFL, so it's great to be able to listen to you guys agonizing over the same decisions that I am facing each week. Thanks for your great work and for putting together my favorite podcast out there.
Best way to get to know the league

I’m a Yank getting ready for my fourth season as an AFL fan. Starting to play fantasy and listening to this podcast were the two things that most helped me get to know the teams and players. It’s true that at first I had some minor trouble figuring out which players they were talking about at times, with the combination of the accents and the nicknames. But after listening to every single episode for a few months I didn’t have any more trouble. The chemistry is good and the production value is excellent. No dead air or awkward transitions like you sometimes get with less professional shows. My decision to call these boys “professional” is probably a questionable one, but I’m hoping if I’m nice enough they’ll stop taking pot-shots at my team every week.
You beauty!!!!
