  Just Martin and Dom this week, dissecting the big finals stories, like if Pendlebury is "unflappable", who is the AFL's most "flappable" player?  And how good would it be if we replaced the goalposts with lasers?  Not to mention some great names in the teams - like Bruce Reville (aka Breville) or the Brisbane Lions (Brions) and Fremantle Dockers (Frockers)...  you get the picture

   No your eyes are not deceiving you - we are back!  And we do not shy away from the big issues.  Martin rants and raves again about the draw, Gemma is PUMPED for the finals and Dom does everything to shy away from talking about the Blues.  It's worth the wait (or is it...?)

  When Martin and Dom had a weekend away in Adelaide we thought - why would we keep that to ourselves?  Listen to Dom's heart breaking in 38 seconds as Adelaide kick three goals in the third quarter to absolutely ruin the game as a contest.  And stay tuned for Dom picking up Martin's broken pieces after watching Collingwood on TV miss a kick after the siren to lose to Geelong.

  After a little break, it's just the old blokes this week.  Martin and Dom discuss their trip to Adelaide to see the Blues come back to earth with a THUD, as well as just how many umpires could we have and still do an awful job.  We examine how the best teams in the league at the moment are the oldest - it's a new trend!

  Back with a full list this week, we realise that the two teams that changed logos this year - the Suns and the Crows - haven't lost a quarter so far.  So a rebrand is the obvious move for the Blues.  We do discuss other clubs (but not much, sob...)

   A late change this week saw Gemma out and a non-special guest join, Pointless's Number One Ticket Holder, Dom's brother Anth.  He talks about Geelong a bit but mostly he, Martin and Dom try and find a description for Carlton's alleged worst loss for 50-60 years.  In the end, thanks to SpaceX, we found the right description...

   Despite all advice to the contrary, we are back!  Gemma, Martin and Dom even have new equipment so there is some hope that you will be able to hear us!  We talk opening round and whether you'd kick with the cyclone if you won the toss... We also have some "structure", including a new history segment (this week the notorious season of 1910), a bespoke theme song and Martin's Beefs.  We are Up and About for 2025!
