One man in, one man out. Joe's back. Dan's away. Jules is still here.

Joe and Jules are joined by two guests this week - Jono Baruch from The Inner Sanctum and Paolo Sebastiani from SEN Overnights & The Jumper Punch. A pod of two halves, filled with trade talk, list management decision discussions, the inside word on Trade & Draft news and, as always, everything Carlton.

Big guests, big show. Let's get into it.

The Cats proved that age really is just a number in footy - culture and systems win you flags. Congratulations to the Geelong Cats Retirement Village. 

Joe, Jules and Dan are joined by Getty Sport and Carlton photographer Jonathan DiMaggio for a chat this week, covering his career, involvement with the 'Baggers, career highlights and everything in between (26:06). The lads also discuss Geelong's 2022 triumph (05:07), answer all of your Blues Q's (14:31), cover the departure of Daniel O'Keefe from the Blues (45:56), and give their thoughts on how the John Nicholls Medal is shaping up this coming week... no surprises for who we picked to take home the B&F (48:43).

There is no more deserving a player of a Brownlow Medal than our skipper, Patrick Cripps.

Join us for a very special episode in the aftermath of this year's Brownlow Medal count, a night many of us will never forget. We recap the Preliminary Final weekend and why it's okay to take joy in a rival's pain (07:55), Joe has a poem for Collingwood (19:17), paying tribute to Crippa's Brownlow win (20:36), we answer your Blues Q's (44:08) and give you a Grand Final Preview including the return of Pov Predicts! (49:40)

Writing Recounts in Primary School was a vibe.

Reckon Dan could spare Jules and Joe some homemade sauce or salami? Nope! Somehow Bazz has guaranteed himself some though!

Another off-season, another year without Blues Finals footy... let the circus begin nonetheless, as the Stocker/Hayes news filtered through 20 minutes before hitting the record button on this ep.

Joe, Jules and Dan recap Week 1 of the AFL Finals Series (07:45), answer all of your Blues Q's (25:05) and try to find meaning and gain some sort of understanding in the Liam Stocker delisting (43:23). You're a Bluebagger for life, Stock.

This one really hit hard - another Season Review without a Finals feature in September... almost hit as hard as the Kettle chips on Jules' waistline, wowee!

An absolutely jam packed hour of power this week, with Livvy's First Word (08:35), a review of the VFL Elimination Final win at Filth Park (11:28), a 2022 Season Review of where it all went wrong from Round 13 onwards for the Blues (20:01), Blues Q's (40:53), and what was all that Will Setterfield ineligibility rubbish about... (1:05:06).

The Blues' season is over, but the pod rolls on.

By now as Carlton supporters you'd think we'd have seen that one coming... will it ever end?

In the most difficult podcast to date, we lay it all out there. No stone left unturned in as emotional an episode as we have recorded. We review the absolute devastation from Sunday's season ending loss to the old enemy (06:40) and answer all of your Blues Q's (40:45) from the Instagram and Twittersphere.

It helped soothe the pain for us a little bit, we hope it can do the same for you.

(Livvy will be okay, she just needed the week off).

After last week's hiatus, we're back. It's Joe, Jules and Dan (with his questionable new haircut) back on Australian soil together for the first time in over a year for some serious therapy after Saturday's heartbreaker vs. the Dees.

Join us as we discuss the Patty Cripps Appeals saga (08:12), review every inch and second of the Round 22 thriller against Melbourne (16:08) (including an Al Pacino impersonation from Joe?), answer all of your Blues Q's (54:31), and GEE UP for our final H&A clash for 2022 against the old enemy (01:17:40).

Time heals all wounds...

Joe, here. Jules, here. Rhys... on his way. Dan? No idea!

And we're not the only ones that are absolutely nowhere this week, with the Blues coming off one of the more disappointing performances and losses in recent memory against the Crows. Join us for some good old-fashioned therapy as we review the Round 20 clash, answer all your Blues Q's and look ahead to Round 21 at the Gabbatoir.

Act 1 in the Western Suburbs of Sydney was great, Act 2 on the home deck was simply Marvel-ous.

The Blues made it 12 wins for the 2022 season and moved one step closer to a finals berth for the first time in almost a decade (we can almost sleep easy, 'Baggers). Joe, Jules and Rhys dissect all the action from the Round 19 win against GWS, answer all of your Blues Q's for the week and preview the upcoming clash across the border at the Adelaide Oval against the Crows.

Chicken Cacciatore leftovers go sensationally with pasta.
