No worries at all mate.

Obviously Dodoro would be the number one target once the trade period is done but Dan Jordan would be a great get as well to chat about the kids.

Fans would love to know what he thinks Ridley, B-Zerk, Redman, Mutch, Clarke, Stewart, Houlihan, Draper, etc need to work on to take that next step.

I reckon you should have a source-off.

Get fogdog, Brasha, reboot and a few others all on the same show!

Your last two podcasts have been the best of the year. Well done!
I think what Shaw is saying makes a lot of sense (if at odds with a lot of what is said in the Trading Thread). I cant see us replicating the trade of last year. We may target a single player who meets our needs but I feel one of the upsides to this season was the development of players that we drafted (Langford).

Excellent podcast. Thanks guys

(Although not sure that a Steinberg joke quite works just after Shaw had been commenting on defenders having no chance if the mids and forwards are not providing the required pressure…)

Would you consider getting the president of the VFL on to talk VFL? or DJR?

will you still do non footy podcasts in the off season?

Another super podcast @CJohns

Solid takeaways from the Shawry Analyst:

Set the standard early with strong form (preseason onwards).
Need to strengthen the footy department around the coach.
Change in our defensive structures (post R8).
Franga, Ridley & Redman as potential prem players.
Develop our own big bodied mids.
Importance of forward pressure & locking the ball in our F50. Can’t defend quick transition, so unfair on the mids not being able to set up.

His emphasis on development was the key takeaway for mine.

Cheers and keep up the stellar work.
