Ash, Mick and Brad return for this weeks’ *The Week That Was Pod* — a few days removed from the Geelong game and ready to go beyond the raw emotion and into the real talking points.

This week’s episode tackles:

* Reflections on the Geelong performance — was it truly a poor showing or just a tough day at the office?

* Players whose form is raising eyebrows;

* Box Hill’s resounding win and what it means for selection pressure;

* The final word on the Conor Nash suspension;

* A rare bit of injury list optimism;

* Brad’s brand-new podcast venture;

* Some early whispers around the 100th birthday game;

* Why heading back to Marvel might actually be a good thing;

* And whether the Eagles clash will be a percentage booster or a potential banana peel;

As always, we wrap up with your questions, comments and sharp-eyed observations.
