Worst footy podcast

The hosts are unprepared, obnoxious, simply not worth it

Great Format and Valuable Insight

This is probably the best format I have seen for a footy podcast. Three weekly casts; fantasy, 2 minute team summaries, and an overall cast. I am not into fantasy, so I can skip a podcast every week and not risk missing the things I want to hear. If you are on the fence episode 6, Why the Giants... is a good starter. I went in looking for a laugh, didnt see any way the Giants would contend, and walked away with amazing insight into Sam Walsh, some Joel Selwood history, a host of othwr players, and honestly a case I could het behind for Sydney winning a grand final.
