It was a huge welcome back to our Wednesday night Space this week as we looked back pre-bye at the Freo performance and glanced ahead at the Dogs game coming up on Friday night.

But sandwiched between our Round 13 and 15 match discussions, we finally got some answers to one of the most pressing questions of the season: why is Brad so angry? And where does all his negativity come from?

It feels like we only scraped the surface, but in our one hour together we were able to cut through some of the burning questions:

* How did Brad come to be a Hawks supporter?

* How did he become so negative about the Hawks?

* Where did the anti-Hawthorn sentiment come from?

* And which GOAT did he give a whack to on the way out?

We have more to unpack in future episodes, but for now sit back, relax, and enjoy some fun with one of our HI favourites.
