You understand he's already been tapped to win the Brownlow this year to complete the fairytale narrative, and add more detail to the already huge Fyfe vs Dangerfield made-for-TV rivalry, yes?

As for footy podcasts, I still miss Mondayitis with Crackers Keenan, but I really enjoy Titus 'n' Paradise, and the new Will Anderson one is pretty good. Junk Time is starting to grate on me, like someone else said, their guest show are worth a listen though.

On the topic of podcasts, my favourite comedy footy cast is junk time with Adam rosenbachs and Michael chamberlin. Pretty funny and a good way of getting footy news. I like Wil Anderson though, so I'll definitely give his new one a try

Wil Anderson was the edgy young cohost of the triple J breakfast show back when I first got my license and started driving myself to school in the mornings, then I went to see his show at the Fringe two years ago and he was old and grey and I wondered where my life had gone

Speaking of the ABC, 4 corners are running a story on Essendon next monday. Will be interesting to see if they have anything new or just a comprehensive look at information already out there. You'd think new given the coldness of the story and 4 Corners track record.

When I'm trying to get back up to date with recent footy news I usually just rewatch one of the last three premierships or associated finals. You know, just to keep my finger on the pulse.

Surely new info. Unless they think that the impending season will get eyes on the story? Not generally the ABC's MO though.

The last time it was good we lost by a point and drew the second fixture later on. Collingwood won the flag that year.

I liked the Richmond one where they were playing the roos I think. Dude was losing it because Richmond were up like 20+ points and then Richmond happened. It was hilarious.

I'm waiting for Noted Good Bloke Hodgey to retire so he can be in the Hawks press red, and can tell me about how "<insert player here> had it coming".

I just saw Tom Boyd's stats from the weekend; 13 disposals (8 contested), 76.9% DE, 7 marks (5 inside 50), 9 hitouts, 1 centre clearance, 2 tackles, 2 inside 50s, 3 goals, 2 behinds and 8 score involvements (second highest behind Wallis) from 76% time on ground. Pretty strong numbers even with those two behinds

I sort of see it like the big bash with the players mic'ed up. Hodge wears a mic on field while Dermott giggles like a school girl in the commentary box giving him targets to kill during the game. When the player manages to get up on his own accord without the use of a stretcher is when the commentary team all throw down their headsets and stomp out in a huff ala Eddie/KB

They've gotta be sinking tins the whole time until Hodge staggers to his feet at 3qtr time and snatches his keys from the frightened producer (the last one having been snapped in half the week before)
