What do you do with a Thuggish Player? Throw the proverbial book at him and sack him for life. There is no place for thugs in footy and no-one should ever express any respect for a bloke who thinks he is a Great Bloke for king-hitting an opponent.   That goes for ANY player for any […]

AFL Season 2017. Week 15

Interesting to note people in the medja and on talkback starting to comment out commentators and journos ‘barracking’ for their sides this week after our rants from last week. It is amazing how many of the so-called ‘experts’ have been listening to Footytalk since it’s inception.  IP Tracking tells you some amazing things.  This week […]

AFL Season 2017. Week 13

Round 12, 2017. Boys (and girls) behaving badly again…but this time the focus is on commentators and journos who earn their money and make a living by giving the rest of us the absolute irits! In the gun this week are Dwayne Russell and Brian Taylor.  Stop barracking and showing your obvious bias you clowns.  […]

AFL Season 2017. Show 12

Round 10, 2017. Why would anyone in their right mind jump onto social medja, whether it be a footballer, an umpire, or a footy journalist.  Twitter is a minefield for abuse and sometimes it is rightfully deserved. Mental illness is also a very misunderstood condition, and those with no understanding of it should just shut […]

AFL Season 2017. Week 10

Round 9, 2017. Plenty of discussion about rules this week.  Get rid of the rules that just waste our time and bring on the footy. The AFL as an organisation has lost the plot over the rules. Is there a ‘Jumper Punch dispensation for Protected Species’ Rule? And where is the video of the Umpire’s […]

AFL Season 2017. Week 9

Round 8, 2017. When does a sledge cross the line?  What is that hidden line? Who has an answer and who should police the ‘Line’?. Is the old adage that says ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones….” no longer relevant in this current day and age. Does sledging really work? If you do wish […]

AFL Season 2017. Round 8

Round 6, 2017 We are back in town after and exclusive two month tour of Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Depang. And I notice that nothing has changed in my absence really.  All the usual things are still happening in terms of the Ablett Saga, the never-ending Essendon saga and boys-behaving-badly. Oh, and there was some footy […]

AFL Season 2017. Show 6

Round 3, 2017. Welcome back again to Shenzhen, the mecca of footy in China. It seems the ‘R’ word has reared it’s ugly head again over in South Australia.  And is there a tremendous over-reaction in dealing with a few incidents relating to ‘racism’. Part of me hopes the ‘woman in question’ can prove her […]

AFL Season 2017. Show 3

After an extended absence brought about by the political landscape here in Australia, we firstly apologise to all those listeners who have been craving our insights into footy since mid 2015. Following on from the legal advice we obtained in relation to not commenting on the Essendon Drugs Saga, we again had to seek legal […]

Footytalk 2017. Show 1

It’s been a long time since The Explosion has vented in an full-on Explosive Rant during the podcast but this weeks show is worth listening to for a number of abusive outbursts directed towards Malthouse, the Bombre’s, David ‘The Pox’ Schwarz and a host of commentators who don’t know the rules. Poor old D.J felt […]

AFL Season 2015. Round 7

The Essendon Peptides Saga Continues……… May the Farce be with you…

Explosive Rants 2015. Show 2

After ten years of podcasting, we are sad to have to read an obituary for one of the Footytalk Family. We do so with great regret in our hearts, however recognise that life must go on and we hope things look better in the future.

Explosive Rants 2015. Week 1

Round 4, 2015 Why so much hoo-hah over comments made by an allegedly intoxicated person at the Melbourne v Richmond game???  I must stress ALLEGEDLY to my popular co-host this week.  But on the positive side, he did identify Adam Yze as being the ALLEGEDLY first non-practising Muslim to play footy at the highest level.  […]

AFL Season 2015. Round 4

Round 3, 2015 After some positive feedback about D.J’s input into the podcasts for a number of years, we have finally decided to promote him to a full-time staff member. Well done old son! Who would have thought a crowd at an Essendon v Carlton game would be so low.  Blame the footy supporters who […]

AFL Season 2015. Round 3

Grand Final, 2014 A Grand Final day that started with a flop and finished with a flogging.  All credit to Hawthorn for a wonderful season, and a well-deserved 12th Premiership.  Only 5 to go to become the greatest team of all. Two words summed up the match – relentless and brutal.  Hawthorn were both! Plus […]
