It’s finals time! 

This week’s episode starts with Paul praising the perks he experienced during his first finals experience in the commentary box. Of course he gets sidetracked, taking a trip down memory lane with tales of how an old mate of his acquired his nickname and a memory from a junior footy trip from about 30 years ago. 

When things get back on track, Paul and Keegs discuss all the weekend’s action with results from all grades of footy and netball. There’s no special guest in for an interview, but fear not, as the second half of Dan Casey’s chat will keep you glued to the pod. Dan and the boys discuss his time coaching the Colts at the Colac Tigers, as well as senior coaching positions at Alvie, Colac Imperials (including taking to the playing field again after his accident), Cobden and finally up to the present time with his stint at the Western Eagles. 

Paul and Keegs also discuss all the upcoming action of a massive second weekend of finals, with the Lunchtime League Game Of The Week tipping comp really heating up as Keegs somehow claws his way back into equal first spot with Paul.

It’s CDFNL Grand Final week! Paul and Keegs celebrate this by… Talking about NFL…? And how the Warrion Football Club is linked to the Grammy Awards….? Must be the man flu fogging up their brains again. 

The boys manage to get back on track, discussing the CDFNL Awards Night from last week, with feedback about how the CDFNL Live Team Of The Year was picked. Paul then announces another team of the year picked by himself and fellow CDFNL Live team member Wil Spence made up of some of the best players who missed out on the original team. 

Paul and Keegs also dissect all the action from a phenomenal Saturday of Preliminary Finals. Their guest is none other than Colac Imperials senior football (and recently announced CDFNL Team Of The Year) captain, Luke O’Shannassy. 

They take a deep dive into Luke’s career, preparing for the upcoming Grand Final on Saturday, and some of his favourite team mates and character at the Imperials. Finally, Paul and Keegs offer up previews, tips and predictions for what is shaping up to be a massive CDFNL Grand Final!

This week the pod begins with Paul and Keegs reviewing and dissecting Jock Brady’s CDFNL Netball Team of the Year. 

They also discuss all the results of a massive second week of finals in both CDFNL football and netball. And for some reason before all this, Paul starts talking about full back waxes and Ireland. The boys also have a very special guest interview subject in Colin Bayne from the now defunct Warrion Football Club. 

Colin takes us on quite the trip down memory lane, from his beginnings playing in the 1950s and 60s, stints as coach and club president, and eventually into the sad story of the club going into recess and eventually folding. His memory and recall is as sharp as a tack - even at 88 years of age! Rounding out the pod, Paul and Keegs preview Saturday’s upcoming Preliminary Final in Senior and Reserves Footy and A Grade Netball. 

The Lunchtime League Game Of The Week tipping competition has taken an exciting turn, with Keegs somehow coming from the clouds to pinch the lead with only 2 games left to tip. Remarkable stuff!

This week on the pod Paul and Keegs have absolutely lost it! Paul’s opening rant goes from VIP treatment and local theatre, to another TISM story linking how the band can be 6 degrees of separationed to the CDFNL, to getting upset by listener feedback on the pod, to also getting upset by not receiving a shoutout from a more popular pod. 

The results of Round 18 and the end of the home and away season are discussed in great detail, including a wrap up of the ladder and the leading goal kickers and scorers in Senior and Reserve Footy and A Grade Netball. 

This week’s guest is none other than local footballing legend and identity, Dan Casey. The boys take a look into the full breadth of Dan’s amazing playing and coaching career that is such a deep dive that it needs to be split into 2 parts - a pod first! Part 1 covers Dan’s career starting out in the juniors then seniors at Colac and South Colac, coaching the senior premiership 3 peat at Irrewarra-Beeac, having another stint back at Colac, then moving on to Camperdown - with that year ending in a horrific workplace accident. 

After the boys finally come back up for breath, they preview the upcoming first week of what is sure to be an action packed finals series in the CDFNL.
