This week, Aaron, Matt and Scott get back together to chat about the Timbers 3 upcoming preseason games. Rather than previewing teams that will likely not play their starting XI, the group focuses more on what they want to see out of each of these 3 games. After some preseason predications, the group moves on to talk about the Apple TV plus content and how the switch to streaming will affect the casual fan. They finish up by talking about the recent Timbers Community Townhall Q&A; focusing on specific topics such as Mora, Upcoming events, Grass at Providence Park and more.

Happy New Year! The group gets back together to talk some updates with the Timbers. They first dive into the rumors around Eryk Williamson and if he will stay at the Timbers for the start of the season. It transitions into a conversation about the Young DP striker rumor and how we've missed on previous rumors mentioned surrounding the J League. After a bit of talk about strikers, the discussion starts around where our depth chart currently sits and where we might need additional depth. After a round table on depth, the group dives into the MLS Season schedule this year and talk a bit about some of the more interesting matchups this year. Finally, they wrap up talking about their Holiday Karaoke best starting 11 (or 9 I think is as far as they got) before wrapping up. Next pod will likely hold a preview for the preseason.
