Hi folks,

Long time listener, first time poster!

Just listened to latest pod on the Freo game and I cannot say I like the new format. They are seeking to reduce runtime ok but the game or even football in general was not discussed until the 16th minute and I reckon over half the players were not even mentioned at all in the remaining time. I used to love the tactical analysis and discussion of defence, forwards and mids .

And Binman, please let George complete what he has to say. Always interrupting. I like the balance George brings to the pod. Let him speak!

Thanks for the feedback Demonted, appreciated. In terms of me interrupting, I'm conscious its bad habit i have and i'm working on it.

In terms of tactical analysis that covers all aspect of our performance including offence, defence, contest and transition, and is 100% football focused, you could give my standalone Freo stats file pod a whirl. And as an added bonus i don't interrupt anyone coz it's just me.

It's only the second one, and there won't be another one as ridiculously long or deetailed as i overprepared, (happily) got lost in the numbers and analysis, chose not to watch the time and wanted to cover all the things i had been ruminating on in my head about the game.

I didn't have time to redo it, so it stands as a monument to my obsession about trying to understand game plan, method, tactics and what happened in the game - something that is particularly exciting this year as we have a new coach with a new approach.
