Nice one. Non-football question, so feel free to not ask it, but I was wondering how he got to be in the Aussie movie ‘Bootmen’. He played a tap dancer IIRC.

    I'd like to have heard a little more about the back story of 186, perhaps next time someone from that era comes on again I'll submit a question.

    Good idea, I would’ve liked to have heard about Neale as a coach and person plus what Brad is up to these days since he finished coaching and what he gets up to. Great interview though, interesting re Bails.

    I get what you're saying but at the end of the day we aren't investigative journalists. We're not out to get the scoop. We want the interviews to be a general retrospective of their careers in the limited time that we have. We have no idea what the players thoughts or feelings are on a difficult subject; some might spill their guts others might be more reserved. We also want to keep getting players past and present on the podcast and not garner a reputation for asking difficult questions.

    I was tossing up even asking Brad if he thought it was a kick in the guts to have the captaincy taken away from him when Mark Neeld came along.

    It was another interview that certainly exceeded my expectations, keep up the great work, much appreciated

    "I was tossing up even asking Brad if he thought it was a kick in the guts to have the captaincy taken away from him when Mark Neeld came along." - I think we know the answer already!

    Great interview fellas. Again.

    Not meaning to be patronising or give a back handed compliment (honestly) but your interview techniques have really improved from early days. Very professional.

    Not a backhanded compliment. When we started doing this we'd never done it before so it's a work in progress. Same goes for the podcasts in general.

    Whenever I listen back there is always things that I think that I should have asked or said and I hope that as we go along we'll improve.

    I understand the premise of the podcast and I love it by the way listen religiously. But when Brad defended Bails a couple of times in the interview saying he shouldn’t of been sacked I think he even called it a travesty I’d of liked a little more depth about 186 seeing as though it was so pivotal  

    I’d just like to better understand 2 things from Brad’s perspective. How and why. It might not be the objective of the podcast I get it. But it’s what I would have asked.

    Yep that’s fair enough, I enjoyed the interview otherwise. I thought brad was pretty open and honest about  the captaincy of Trengove and grimes, and that arguably was a difficult topic for him to talk about. 

    btw According to Wikipedia matthew Guy is a saints member ?.

    Maybe not with Brad but it would be interesting to hear about the actual 186 match itself. You would never get anyone to give a truly candid answer on a fan podcast but to find out the psyche of the players as the disaster was unfolding is something I would want to hear (maybe with a little bit of morbid curiosity).

    The way I see it, you get to ask one awkward question per podcast. ;)

    One day I'd love to hear what and how it all went down.  I've seen some thumpings handed out to some truly terrible teams over the years, but still none of them came even close to a margin of 186 points.  It's truly incredible and something of a statistical anomaly in our game.

    I remember Brad being interviewed about 4 days before 186 by Mike Shehean. 

    I could tell something was wrong....butwe are yet to hear the full story

    Next time instead of the Manchester United question let's hear more about his stint at Walsall*.

    * In a obscure spin-off program where footy players give their recollections of lower league English football. Would subscribe.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
