The Weekly Wrap

Hi everyone!

 

With five wins from six games last week, it was a happy Clubhouse on Saturday night. Other highlights included two hat tricks, a century, and no missing persons from 6th Grade's trek out to the East Kalgoorlie Cricket Club!

The Weekly Wrap is back after a few weeks of unavailability!

What a way to start the season! Three big wins from three matches.

It took it's sweet time to be published, but here it is folks ... the Grand Final edition of the Podcast.I had to make some harsh decisions on what to include and what to leave out; well actually, if you go by what ended up making it into the final version you can draw your own conclusions about the (lack of) quality of the material that is on the studio floor.Apologies to the WAGS, I'll fit your interviews into the next Podcast :)Highlights:0.00 - Intro and Scores Rundown4.00 - Boney and the F Troupe16.10 - The Tea Controversy19.20 - Eagles Gets Stiffed21.40 - Egypt and ODGs29.30 - ODD Couldn't Bring it Home43.20 - Dave Smith and Smarty talk up ODG Some More1.07.10 - Bec and JJ Talk us Through 1st Grade1.20.50 - Shawry Dances to his Own Beat1.39.30 - Wrap Up1.44.30 - Benny Mac Rounds off the Night!

What an epic weekend it was for Phoenix with six of our seven sides making finals, and four of those six then making it through to the Grand Final stage!

 

With so much good stuff to work with, it was difficult to decide what to leave out of this week's episode, but what is still in there is absolute quality ...

Just quietly, this was one of the most enjoyable Weekly Wraps I've had the honour of producing. There are a few too many swears for my liking, but, it was a very emotional Saturday evening for a lot of people involved, so you cut people a bit more slack than you'd normally do.

 

There is some absolute GOLD in this edition of the podcast, and there was some absolute gold that I have to leave out ... for one reason or another, including the fact that the Weekly Wrap's Go Fund Me page for legal fees is looking a little dry at the moment haha! But, your secrets are safe with me ;)

Despite the lack of fantom cameos, there is still plenty to like about this week's episode. Get the inside word on how 1st Grade have set themselves up for a late, very late, run down the rails after being boxed in at the turn, and hear from a couple of blokes who drew the MAD out of Maddington!

 

There are a couple of deep and meaningful questions posed during this episode, so feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment area provided below. And, as an added bonus, if you have any questions, and questions at all you'd like to ask the Weekly Wrap monkeys, or any of the associated guests on the next episode, just flick me a private message. Here's a few examples:

Why does the ball swing?

I'm a heaps better catcher than the guy at first slip, but how do I work my way in there?

Do you have any tips to help me stay awake and alert while doing square leg duty?

Here is the latest edition of the Weekly Wrap! I recorded so much awesomness over the weekend, that I couldn’t fit it all in. My limited mixing and mastering skills were pushed to the absolute limit, and under the pressure of a ravenous listening public, I cracked ha!

Trap for young players … don’t mix and master across two different computers with vastly different abilities; especially when one is essentially a purpose built studio desktop, and the other is a $300 notebook haha! Time constraints are a bitch.

So, apologies for the lower audio quality in this episode … it’s mainly just a lot quieter than normal. The quality of the content however, that remains unchanged ;)

Its another big week in the Weekly Wrap offices, with two bumper episodes coming your way. In this first one, we talk to a couple of young guns at the club; and in the second we talk to some more young guns, along with some wise, old heads. It makes for some very entertaining listening!
