THE STATS FILES PODCAST: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda

As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

The Stats Files is one of the things that gives this podcast its unique flavour, but it also takes up a fair bit of airtime and, just as importantly, a lot of preparation from Binman behind the scenes especially with the tight turnaround after those Sunday late-afternoon games.

So rather than lose it altogether, we’re evolving the format.

We’ll still bring you an abridged version of The Stats Files on the main podcast, but for those of you who really like to sink your teeth into the numbers, we’re launching this midweek companion pod featuring the full-length version.

So for fans of The Stats Files, don’t worry it isn’t going anywhere. It’s just getting its own stage.

And this podcast is its debut.

Presenting the inaugural Stats Files presented by Binman for Round 1.
