Is anyone else listening to this podcast?

Plenty of great episodes, particularly those who talk about key issues and how they could have done things better. Some of them are a bit so so, in that a few don’t acknowledge they could have been the problem.

Brendan McCartney, Crosisca, Grant Thomas and Guy McKenna episodes give great insights into their respective clubs at the time.

It's a good series which provides plenty of UNKNOWN information BUT don't enjoy it when they have guests mainly discussing their drug/mental health issues.

Which episodes do you recommend to start with?

Keep away from the Ricky Nixon one. That was an hour I will never get back

 

[Channels]

Yep Ricky Nixon one was average, as was Milne/Baker.

The ones i mentioned above are good.

Which episodes do you recommend to start with?

There's been seven this year, I've listened to five (haven't listened to Crosisca & McCartney).

I liked the Goddard one the most, followed by Aker. Milne & Baker are a couple of bogans, and the interviewers refused to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Nixon was horrible.

The Goddard one is good, especially part 2, when he talks about his departure from the Saints

Can see him really dividing people with how he is, but I really enjoyed it.

I got around to listening to the Brendan McCartney one yesterday. Just woken up now.

For memory, that's one of the better ones

For memory, that's one of the better ones

That's what I thought. The ones where they acknowledge a bunch of things they could have done better are far better than the episodes where the problem lies with everyone else.

The best one by far was Watters because he was willing to lift the curtain. We in AFL have a phobia of excuses or an inability to differentiate between excuses and reasons. Hearing Watters explain what went wrong was the insight that has made the better episodes of this podcast good.

The Milne and Baker one however was awful garbage.

I've become very choosy with 'Sacked'.

The Scott Watters episode was also excellent because he's moved on from AFL footy and can talk about a meaningful career outside the game.

I liked hearing from Brendan McCartney, because he acknowledged his own weaknesses and failures. He wasn't interested in just tipping a bucket on others. Only McCartney and Robert Walls (whose recollections on his fights with Carlton powerbrokers are backed up by archived interviews from the late 1980s) presented as honest men not looking to re-write history.

The alleged rape?

 

[Rod Stroker]

I've heard them all. Goddard and Leppa the best ones from this year. McCartney was also OK.

 

[Rod Stroker]

don't enjoy it when they have guests mainly discussing their drug/mental health issues.

This year they had Crocisca, McLean and Cloke talk about mental health. I found them to be the most boring, couldn't get through Crocisca and Cloke.

Two of the more bland blokes in footy.

I'd like to hear from Lyon, good story teller with a sense of humour.

Agree on McLean & Cloke. Didn't listen to to the Crocisca one.

BJ was one on the best episodes to date.

BJ was one on the best episodes to date.

Agree on BJ. Never been a fan with his petulant behavior, but he does speak well, is straight up, and has a good feel for the game.

I did like Grant Thomas last year, even if he did skew some of the stories in his favour.
Wallsy was OK, but I'd already heard a lot of what he had to say on Open Mike.

There's some odd editing on these podcasts. I wonder if they sometimes re-record some questions, or just cut out some of the dead air. Then there are audio highlights of play, which I don't see the point of.
I reckon it results in some episodes sounding chopped up and stuck back together; a little disjointed

 

[the_interloper]

They suck up to their guests way too much, listened to a few episodes and won't bother again.

You’ve Summed it up to a very well. They way they both laugh at anything the guests have to say even if it’s not funny, it’s pretty cringed.

I do like the podcast but I feel like they should challenge the guest when they are talking complete BS

I've been meaning to ask for a while, is this still going? There hasn't been an episode for nearly 7 months

maybe they're on a break?

 

[The_Historian]

Anyone know what's happened, there was a trailer for this season late last year but no new uploads. I thought most seasons started in April or march.
