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.

Love the podcast, I live in the US and miss footy talk. I download and listen every week. My one comment is that I reckon lately you are spending less time on the actual footy, and more on "news'".....you extensively cover potential coach changes, AFL House issues, scandals etc....but lately the coverage of the actual games has been minimal (other than maybe Geelong and Richmond!). So my request is to spend a bit more time discussing the past week's games and upcoming games, with less of the news stuff. Thanks, and keep it coming. Don from Melbourne (currently USA).

I enjoyed this podcast a lot last season with Anthony Hudson at the helm. This year, Lauren continues to provide solid, impartial insights, but Mick Warner is persistently steering conversation back to Richmond. He seems more intent on basking in the glow of the Tigers’ recent successes rather than helping further discussion about broader AFL topics. I’m happy for the Tiges, but the show needs a little more neutrality when discussing an 18-team competition.
