    West Covid Eagles

    We are possibly the most covid ravaged podcast in the footy world. A last minute guest positive diagnosis leaves it just with Tess and Danny as they wrap up the week of footy. Which team has a dark magical curse on them? Which fixture is always good? Which fixture always disappoints?

Professionally done

This podcast is just a clip of the Saturday show ABC put on radio (sometimes there's other bits...used to have a Sunday review with call ins that aren't posted anymore unfortunately.) Anyway, if you watch AFL 360 you can probably skip this podcast because a lot of it is repeated on Wednesday nights by Mark McClure and Gerard Whateley. If you can't get enough AFL (like me) it's great info presented professionally and is prepared well with great questions. Love me some Gerard!
