Friendless and terrified, Paddy Grindlay turned up at Haven't You Done Well Productions in December of last year. He wouldn't stop ringing the doorbell. Taking pity on this confused little boy, Broden and Tom gave him a job and a nice shirt and now he's just terrified.

‘Twas the night before Drem tour, and all through the house: football.

Broden teaches the pod about 1994's 'Richie Rich' featuring Macaulay Culkin and Tom PUTS HIS FOOT DOWN on the great hot dog v pie footy food debate.

This episode of The Footy is brought to you by the TAC - “Stop Kidding Yourself – If you drink, don’t drive. A message from the TAC”

This week, our All-Australian locks, AFLW Round One review and meticulous countback of Collingwood's 71 inside 50s. GWS are good except when they're not. Cats are quietly preparing to win the premiership. Give Havana Harris the pill. As we wrote this description Harry Sheezel picked up another 14 disposals!

Our mate this weekend is a footballing giant. Her name is Peta Searle OAM.

Peta won ten flags - five as a player, five as a coach - at the Darebin Falcons, later becoming the first woman assistant coach in the AFL and St Kilda's inaugural AFLW coach.

It’s a great chat. We think you’ll love listening to it.

'Breaking the Line: The Peta Searle Story’ is playing now at the Melbourne International Film Festival. Get amongst it here.

Stick around until the end for an OFFICIAL WACKY WILLY WEDNESDAY SCOOP FROM TOM!!!

Also in this episode: Paddy doing maths. Doesn't end well.

Many gifts delivered by Round 22. One of those gifts: it is possible that Collingwood miss finals.

Aunty Donna's Zachary Ruane is on the podcast this weekend to talk our great game, and he's surprisingly well informed on Collingwood's list management and the Australian football landscape.

It’s all hands on deck as Dad triumphantly returns to the good ship footy pod. Marnie went to the AFLW launch and Broden has FOMO
