Another pre-season week gone means we're one week closer to Round of the 2020 AFL Premiership season! Before we get to our guests, the lads chat everything from the Marsh Cup and friendly match performances against the Hawks at Moorabbin and Morwell, the Saints AFLW side unlucky to not be on the positive side of the ledger - and higher up the ladder - after 3 hard-fought losses to go with their maiden AFLW win over the Demons, and how the squad might shape up for the next Marsh Cup game against Collingwood.
In 2008, Mike Sheahan named this week's featured guest as one of the top 50 VFL/AFL players of all time. Ever.He made his debut as a 16 year old, and 21 years later, retired as one of the greatest Saints to play the game. 383 games (#5 overall). 215 goals. 4x Trevor Barker medallist. 2x Brownlow medallist. 8x All-Australian. 3x EJ Whitten medallist. 1997 AFLPA MVP.
#35 Robert Harvey joins us on Unpluggered to talk about his 21 years playing for the Red, White & Black, playing underage footy with cricket's greatest leg spinner of all time, Shane Warne, Moorabbin, Tony Lockett, and other great Saints he was lucky enough to play with and the teams he was a part of.
We close the show live in the studio with Darren O'Shaughnessy, Senior Analyst at the St Kilda Football Club, talking about his role, how data shapes decisions in today's AFL, and some insight into the reasons we went after five specific experienced players at the trade table at the end of 2019.
