#94 Simone Inzaghi | In Free Fall
The Carlton Football Club is in complete free fall without a parachute at the moment, falling faster and faster into what feels like it's inevitable demise.
We don't even try to make sense of it all this week. Time to start laying out the facts as they stand and face some cold, hard truths.
We're a bottom four Football Club in 2023. If it hasn't sunk in yet, then maybe after this week's ep it might...

Join us in this special chat with 1987 Premiership hero and Norm Smith Medallist, David Rhys-Jones, as part of his 2023 15 For 15 Challenge raising awareness for Prader-Willi Syndrome.
We cover some of the highlights and lowlights of The Hyphen's storied career, from his scintillating debut at South Melbourne to his 1987 Premiership heroics, as well as his infamy as the VFL/AFL most reported player of all time and the Battle of Britain.
David Rhys-Jones has high hopes that this year’s 15 Career Highlights (and Lowlights) in 15 Days challenge will raise much needed funds, and in 2023, every person who donates to his challenge - no matter how big or small - will go into the draw to win a “VIP Day at the Footy” (for you and three friends) as a guest of the AFL in the Medallion Club for any 2023 AFL Home and Away Season match.
The money raised from this year’s challenge will be directed towards developing a desperately needed state-wide, evidence-based model of care for children living with Prader-Willi Syndrome. This model will ensure that children throughout the state receive consistent, effective and best medical care, treatments and support no matter where they live.
For more information head to Prader-Willi Syndrome Association Victoria’s website: www.pwsavic.org.au

#91 Special Brand Of Silence | Nothing Left To Give
As you can tell by the intro, there's not much left to say about where this Football Club is at... but we manage to find an hours worth of things to say somehow.
Join us for therapy this week. This is really starting to take a toll.

#90 (A)BB PSA | Too Little, Too Late
It was a spirited Carlton comeback (finally!), but one that was ultimately too little, too late.
Join us as we break-down the loss to the Dogs and preview this week's do-or-die clash against the Filth.
A little podcast PSA to start: we heard your feedback, we're taking accountability, and we're resetting our standards... that's called "leading by example".

#86 Missed Call Mum | Reality Check
Saw that one coming a mile away, and we're here this week to be as blunt and brutally honest as we can - that's simply not good enough for a side with Top 4 aspirations.
Joe and Jules are joined by special co-host Matt Foschini to break-down whatever that debacle was from Gather Round vs the Adelaide Crows, and preview our next challenge as the Saints await in Round 6.
Things have to change quickly... otherwise I'm calling Mum to cry about it!

#85 No Wi-Fi Dropouts! | A Good Friday
It was an extra Good Friday for Bluebaggers as our unbeaten start to the season in 2023 continues.
Joe and Jules are on hand in this week's episode to take you through all the talking points out of our clash against North Melbourne, including Harry McKay's impending Tribunal Appeal, Carlton's fourth quarter fade outs, and what ultimately worked to get us over the line in Round 4.
We also preview what will arguably be our biggest test to date as we travel to the City of Churches to take on Adelaide in Gather Round - can we break our Adelaide Oval curse?
