Hello there.  By popular demand we tried one more episode but nobody showed up and so Alex and Dom decided to show how little they know about pretty much anything, but especially the draft, new team logos and next year's draw.  But after stumbling around the world of Patrick Cripps's left nipple they do still hold onto that last semblance of hope for the Blues in 2025...

Well we're all depressed, but none more so than our Gemma after her beloved Giants had their hearts broken yet again.  In a fit of rage straight after the game, Gemma made a list of seven things she HATES about AFL, adding one more in for good measure during the podcast.  Dom gets closure on the completion of Carlton's disgrace, and Martin gets excited about the Brownlow.  Very good listening :)

Late change:  Gemma OUT; Alex IN.

We discuss the important question of whether it is better to be in the Eight disgracefully or out of the Eight respectedly, review what we learnt from the ladders and how we did on our Finals predictions from our first episode.  Go Blues and Giants

We're excited to be on a different recording platform (Squadcast) today and beside ourselves with receiving listener feedback AND with the permutations and perambulations through the final three rounds of the season.  I received zero comments on the preamble I wrote last week so I now have had it confirmed that NO-ONE reads this.  I like writing it though, so, you know, I'm going for it.  Go Blues.  I believe in you Charlie :)

The team keeps one eye on the Seine tonight watching for anything unsavoury to pop up in the triathlon while we talk up the Giants and try to ignore the Blues and Pies.  Does anybody read this?  I don't think so.  I've never had a comment on it.  Not even from Martin or Gemma. Or Anth, Sime, Jess, Kate or Alex.  Neither from Ness, Rach, Sam or Charlie.  Oh well.  Not the end of the world.

In this week's episode, we have a guest!  One of Martin's sons, Tim joins us again to report back on the worm population of the MCG and questions whether in fact a worm has ever been burned.  Dom tries to avoid talking about last week's match and we explore the fascinating world of Collingwood's "aura" and manage to use the word "synesthete" for the first time ever recorded.  Other stuff in there too like Wushu at the Olympics - we even talk about other footy teams.  It's a long one but as hardly anyone (including us) ever listen we thought, what the heck?  Over to you!

This week we again have our microphones, so you can actually understand, well hear us.  Gemma is very sad, Martin is less sad but very unhappy with the umpires, but Dom loves football and can't see anything wrong with any of it (da da da da daaa).  We talk Wimbledon, US politics, sloths, New Zealand and AI.  Oh and there's a bit on footy - like whether a dishonourable win is worse than an honourable loss...?

Wimbledon Special:  nothing to do with tennis but in June Dom caught up with a couple of English mates (who he used to play tennis with in Wimbledon - there you go) to talk jargon from the "other" football.  Thanks to Paddy and Mark for coming out on a Monday night!

After a three (four?) week break we are back and getting over-excited about the range of thuds and contextual featherings from round 14 (or was it 15?)  Gemma is trying to make sense of the low smileometer readings coming from the West and Martin tells endless pathetic anecdotes about Collingwood.  Thank goodness Dom is there to talk sense about not one but THREE alternative ladders.  You know you need them

Great news - no late changes and in fact we are all in person for only the second time!  The sound is still sh-t despite all our best efforts but you would expect nothing less.  We go deep into featherings and trolling flaps, with another live cross to the fishing boat and examine the Collingwood-Freo draw, deciding whether Collingwood plucked defeat from the jaws of victory or Freo did it the other way around.  One thing for sure - we had an absolute blast doing this one!
