"Hey guys, love the podcast! Got a quick question for you... Being so early in the season and Dangerfield getting suspended which makes him ineligible for the Brownlow. Do you think umpires will be hesitant to give him votes during games being afraid it would be a bad look for the AFL if an ineligible player scored the most votes? Or even have the mindset of ‘he can’t win, why vote for him?"

39.45 – Question of the Week for Drinkwise from Harry who asks “Damo - one for you.

Can you ask Hutchy why he does a "double look" on air when someone makes a point he doesn't agree with.

It's a clever technique he uses. When a fellow panellist is speaking, and he doesn't agree with what they are saying, he will briefly look back at the camera (with a look on his face that says "are you for real") before looking back at the panellist.

My guess is that he's trying to plant a seed of doubt in the mind of the panellist.

So Hutchy - what's with the double look?”

41.00 – The Winx of Journalism Nick McKenzie won the Graham Perkin Journalist of the Year award, accepting the award at Crown Casino for his take down of Crown. Hutchy’s take on Crown’s feelings on the matter is not to be missed.

39.00 – Question of the Week for Drinkwise from Mick Cowcher via Facebook

“What are your thoughts on the excessive obscenities throughout, particularly from coaches and in game action? Does this jeopardise or sideline the ability to target the younger generation of listeners? US sports documentaries seem more catered to a wider audience. Is Amazon still finding their way in this respect? Or is a cultural change in acceptable language required in Australian sport. I am an Eagles fan, and watching the series changed my perception of Adam Simpson negatively. Additionally as a Gen Y viewer I found the treatment of players, particularly Coniglio, from coaches only eroded their confidence. Are coaches out of touch with the current day player? Anyone who has played before is familiar with a spray although it is a workplace, and this behaviour wouldn’t be tolerated in other fields of employment Great to hear your thoughts. I really value your insights.”
