Tough one this.
Would never rag on these blokes - taking on the task of podcasting for pretty much nothing more than the love of it and the club. A hell of a commitment and for that I commend them - it has and was a great thing to experience during the seasons past.
Looking back at it, the combo of Sam the reserved stats man and heart on his sleeve Newman was a winner. I get Newman’s disappointment in the negative feedback, but that’s the deal when you put yourself out there. Stick your head out and someone or anyone wants to kick it in. Sometimes you just gotta let it go.
Going forward, the new format is good, cracking interview with Irvine (would be interested in download numbers for that cast) and would stick with a variety of co-hosts, hopefully with less media polish than Clinton Maynard - the bloke sounded like a young Alan Jones frothing over the Ella Brothers. Just odd.
