Fun with names goes across cultures and codes. Round 14's crop of byes leaves three buzz-worthy Victorian clubs and the ladder leaders out of the action. We set the table for their coming clashes and highlight the good, the bad, and the awkward for each. Also, go Maroons.

Is it a bit? Who even knows at this point with that guy? Either way, Port and Sydney have had some fun clashes in recent years, and we can add another to that list. That helped us forget about some of the disappointment of Thursday's hyped-up clash, as well as Waterman pissing away another game in front of goal for the Eagles. Plus, we touch on the World Cup and what Australians should look for on our Pacific coast.

Ribbit. Ribbit. One Lion was prepared for Carlton terries in what we soon found out was Voss' last as coach. Good riddance. Also in this episode: a return to form for Geelong, a near-miss for Draw FC, and a couple Bay Area high school tangents that may or may not relate to the footy.

We've got our NPR voices ready for one of our absolute favorite bits… but that's just a snippet of a marathon episode about a round that started off as well as any in recent memory, included a lot of personal disappointment for both hosts, and ended… better than lukewarm.
