Episodes
For our final episode of 2024, Catfish is joined by the first loser, 2024 runner-up Dave Campbell, a faithful employee of Newscorp and foregoer of $5,000 big ones. We learn a bit about Dave, his emotions as he realises how close he will come to winning but not being eligible for the cash prizes, and also break down his season - things he got right, wrong and everything in between. We also discuss some key takeaways from 2024 that we'll look to bring forward to 2025 and beyond.
Congrats to...

One last episode for the regular season in 2024, and it's Catfish riding solo one last time. We crunch the numbers on what happened in Round 27 last year and analyse what circumstances may have lead to the points scoring bonanzas on offer. Some chat on strategy as always but it's really just about seeing how it all plays out and who we have as our new overall champion for 2024!
