One of the concepts behind this podcast going forward is that it is to be interactive with the community on this board. What that means is that we want to include regular guests from this board, as well as your ideas for content. We have taken the first step on our journey and have a fair way to go. If you have any constructive feedback (positive or negative), or are keen to contribute in the future, please feel free to post in here or let SJ or Gysenn know privately.

Maybe start a new thread for each podcast?

Yeah, I'll wait for SJ to do that.

Wow much podcast! Thanks! Onto the phone and into the gym!

 

[manboob]

Three 5 star reviews too

 

[dazbroncos]

Great job again fellas. Im light on draft info so it was great to the the insight.
Thanks very much.

It was also good to hear people supporting the drafting team.

Go Catters

 

[SJ]

Keep the feedback coming.

Although maybe it was a bit shaky in its first run, the 'Cats Flashback' segment will hopefully be a regular segment next year. We had an intro jingle for it but Gysenn forgot to edit it in this time.

Good work guys, good listen. Thanks for putting in the time so we don't have to listen to sen today!

 

[Pivo]

Nice work again fellas.

Good job.

Great pod, same suggestion as last time. Just a couple of edits here and there to remove the silences e.g. when the jesters Skype cut out so there was 20 seconds of nothing.

It did? Sorry lads.

Think that might have been me.

 

[manboob]

I'll let it go this time SJ. And don't take this the wrong way guys but the podcast is awesome. Much better than I would have expected to be honest.

My bad! I'll be making myself a checklist next time, checking it twice etc.

The weekly one will have a bigger focus on editing... This one was a little rushed because I was trying to get it up before midnight.

And I'm glad cause it means I could listen to it whilst blasting the guns and moobs

 

[JPod_31]

Great work guys. Good to listen to.

 

[you pick one]

Not to worried about the editing to be honest,warts and all(few they maybe) gives it an inclusive feeling and retains the spontaneity essential for credibility, nothing like off the cuff answers,really well done again.

 

[Turbocat]

Good work guys.

thejester . really enjoyed the herd mentality bit. When Pods was never drafted , one reason given was , "hey if he was any good someone would have picked him by now".
To me Wells is willing to risk being wrong to get it right. Too many fear getting it wrong and pick the players they should. Leslie at 20 probably showed GC have a bit of that about them too.

Pure_Ownage , great insights on Lang. And as much as "we" here wanted contested players , the MC must have wanted more run and speed. As someone said Motlop showed how damaging a player like that can be.

1999 was good as well.

Didn't sound like a rush job to me. Really appreciate your efforts in putting the podcast together guys

I listened to SEN after the draft hoping to hear a little about our new boys-total waste of time-should have just waited for this

By rushed, I meant I forgot to add in @SJ's jingle. Probably could have cleaned up the bit where somebody's mic cut out, as well. Anyway, cheers!

 

[Vdubs]

Best post mortem going around.
You guys have nailed all aspects of the draft from a Geelong perspective.
That 1999 info goes to show every draftee has the potential to go either way, no matter the ranking.
To think that draft produced 12 flags, at least 4 B&F's, and nearly 1000 games.

 

[manboob]

My review finally made it to iTunes

 

[Moggy]

Another quality product. Well done guys.

 

[Turkey Tom]

Yep great job again. Only complaint is a bit of noise from people fiddling with their microphone, but that is only minor.

Looking forward to the next one!
