Love listening to this podcast during footy season. The usual trio are a great mix who are respectful and enjoy intelligent banter…but why inflict Sam McClure on us?? Nobody wants to listen to his try-hard & cringey interjections that prove he’s not at the same level as standard hosts. Just...Read full review »

I love listening to Caroline, Michael and Jake and wait impatiently for each episode to drop. Their 3 way conversation is informative and entertaining and gives an incisive summary of the weekly games. There are respectful debates as well as good humour, and as the listener I almost feel...Read full review »

Been listening for 4 years now and always look forward to every episode.

Will miss you guys after flaggers cup!

Love the Real Footy podcasts. The Caro and Jake podcast is great - they seem to have insights that others don’t. Also loving the footy tipping podcast with Peter Ryan.

Ok
Good review but why is sam so disrespectful to Caroline?
julianhuitfeldt via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 07/19/23
Love the podcast - it’s good to have an in-depth footy discussion that’s a bit removed from the mainstream footy boofheads. Please no more Sam McClure - am only 10 minutes in but he doesn’t bring insight or any real knowledge (case in point - 8 players is one third of a team - thanks Sam)

Love how Caro shuts down Jake like his a misbehaving child.
VaughanJW via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/08/23
Far too Victorian-centric (I’m a Victorian) and a weekly Richmond segment is hard to tolerate for too long. Further, the irony of the panel condemning the booing of Lance Franklin against Collingwood and likening it to the Adam Goodes scenario before throwing to an advertisement voiced by none...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this pod for years and still love it. The weekly tipping episode is really good too. One guest I’ve enjoyed hearing from is Matthew Stokes, whose views and insights are refreshing and honest, so if there’s more chance to get him on it’d be great
Fan of Thrones via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/04/23
Actually incredible blind spot when it comes to talking about teams other than Richmond and Collingwood.
Lucy Edmondson via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/04/23
Great pod, but please ditch the ads with Eddie McGuire’s voiceover. Can’t stand the sound of him.
Natty.Pants via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/01/23
Quick note to say thank you to all involved - always a great roundup of the weekend and issues that sometimes aren’t picked up in the written media. Am a long-suffering AFL fan who has been following from Sydney since 1983 - we get way too much league and not enough AFL coverage - probably the...Read full review »

Jake and Caro far too biased towards Richmond it’s forced me to boycott this podcast
Brettsky23 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/21/23
Personally, I prefer the pod cast much better when Sam isn’t on it. He comes across very arrogant… in generally the pod cast is good.
PV GUN via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/02/22
Here’s a tip RF crew, stop talking over the top of each other, it’s extremely irritating for the listener. Also, isn’t it amazing the selective memory of football journalists. One day you’re no hope of finals and your coach is on the chopping block, a month later you’re a real shot at the 8, and...Read full review »

I listen to podcasts as I go on my morning walk. I enjoy this one as it is measured and not hysterical. All of the people on it are knowledgeable and witty.
Tom from Brinswick via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/17/22
The amount of airtime you give Joe Daniher versus Brisbane Lions ex-Joe Daniher is ridiculous! I guess this is all part of the Melbourne-centric focus, JD having come from a “big” club… next you’ll mention Lions greats from the past such as Fev?! ps love Big Joe
BigBruce74 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/17/21
This is the footy commentary I look most forward to each week. Not sure why people are complaining about, or surprised by, the Victorian focus - The Age is a Vic paper. Last I checked there were a couple of other-State-focused podcasts out there that are worthwhile.
IcarusHazelwood via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/12/21
Very impressed with the anti-biased team podcast.
melbourne.storm warning via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/25/21
I really enjoy this pod but agree with the other posters on the Melbourne team obsession. The A stands for Australian Football League not Victorian. We always start with the big 4! Regardless of who is top of the table its Pies, Richmond, Essendon, Carlton. But they know their footy. I just wish...Read full review »
wooldata via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/14/21
Gave it another shot this week after a cats win against a Melbourne club. Nup, still Melbourne centric.
struggling with this podcast via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/11/21
I really enjoy this podcast,however it is the AFL is it not? The hosts are so Victorian centric . Caroline Wilson does actually speak of other teams.This episode far too parochial for me this week! I will continue to listen as I walk around the Albury hills.
Labber lover via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/10/21
Great podcast, always interesting options. However, it’s time to stop having Jimmy Bartel on the show. For some reason, rather than speaking respectfully, he is hostile to any question asked of him and then attempts to deflect with more hostility. It’s now at the point of being painful and...Read full review »
Bombersim via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/27/21
Generally the content is ok to listen to however Jake is far to softly spoken. Is his microphone near his mouth? Hard to get balance of volume right
sjklein17 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/27/21
Covers most topics just be good to get out of Melbourne & realise there are 8 teams, almost half the comp not based in Melbourne or Victoria. This week they talked about how GWS have lost players & playing overs to keep but the Swans are full of Academy kids. What a joke. Himmelberg,...Read full review »

Love the intelligent, insightful and well considered analysis of these truly professional and always interesting footy scribes. Best AFL podcast by a long way.
Uppagumtree via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/07/21
I dare Caro to go a whole podcast with her not somehow being up Richmond, comparing another player of team to Richmond or saying Jack Riewoldts name.
Benny_Benny via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/31/21
I get that the Age is Melbourne-based but there’s some serious Vic club bias, especially Richmond, Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and Geelong. I literally just listened to them bring up Carlton because they ‘hadn’t done much in the draft’ lol. Perhaps talk about the clubs that *did* do something....Read full review »
broadcastappeal via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/12/20
Really enjoyed listening to the summation of the GF. At one stage I thought I could have been listening to an opera critic talking about the suspense and drama of Dusty’s on field deeds. Add to that, Jack’s insights into the misdemeanours of the season, the Benny’s hard chat with Dimma, players...Read full review »

Most rubbish footy podcast getting around. The richmond bias amongst the hosts is ridiculous. Asking the questions no one want answers to.
lockstoch36 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/01/20
I'm a huge fan of this podcast and look forward to it each week. The analysis is top notch and the discussions are well-informed and interesting. All three regular panelists are great, but I'm a Caroline Wilson fan in particular and I love it when "Baumy" steps in. Great work!Read full review »
dyyggijdssrgghuj via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/27/20
My favourite episode of all time this week , because carro wasn’t in it
millotty via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/21/20
I’m getting a little but sick of all the anti-Richmond material being wheeled out over the past few weeks. Talk about mountains out of molehills!! Give em one more week, ( as much as I love Caro ) if it doesn’t stop, then it’s a new AFL podcast for this disgruntled and bemused Tiger.
AussieBengal via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/24/20
So many nuffie reviews on here! Great podcast that hits the big issues each week.
HulkBogan via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/24/20
Caro is the biggest Richmond nuffie going around, every comment is through a Richmond lease, incredibly bias and unprofessional
ryansmithaus87 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/17/20
Interesting sporting guests spoke. To with a wonderful easy going manner. Thank you 🙏👍
Willo73 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/14/20
Don’t bother listening if a North supporter.
totally ignored via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/14/20
Audio is better quality than last season, mercifully. I like how this show doesn’t pussyfoot around topics and actually asks hard questions & gives strong opinions. By the same token, regular guest Jimmy Bartel can be a bit prickly at times and needs to react a little better to suggestions he...Read full review »
ForbesK4 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/11/20
They spend most of the podcast systematically going through each Vic club. Then if we’re lucky, we’ll get a bit on some interstate teams. Typical.
guy jjhcc via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/07/20
It would be nice to one day tune in and not hear how much Caroline loves Richmond and her obvious dislike of Collingwood, NM or anybody that isn’t Richmond. How about you start focusing on the AFL as a whole instead of just one club!
domcarlesso via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/06/20
Caro. FFS. Change the channel Stop your NMFC bagging. It’s boring and you are wrong. You just embarrass yourself again and again.
Errolstreetbandit via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/10/20
Long time listener who’s pretty gutted that you would have a guest like Carey on. Maybe next week you could do an episode on the top twenty disgraced ex player acts and delve into the damage that players have done off field. Glassing women (Carey), having affairs with teenagers whilst having a...Read full review »
Flying Door Matt via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/13/20
Please stop the just between us segment it’s sounds so creepy with the mics they’re using, always have to skip it
Radwang via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/18/19
I can’t listen because he comes across as a spoilt and arrogant child. I think the last straw when he said “Toby’s been a naughty boy”. Seriously please replace him.
lovetheage via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/30/19
Great podcast- listen to it every week. But why do we need audio highlights at the start of every show? They seem to be getting longer by the week. Eg I am 5:08mins into this weeks podcast and they’ve only just started talking post Ads + highlights.
willrc91 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/16/19
Overall great pod, listen every week. The ‘just between us’ segment is awful, please get rid of it, without that segment I’d give you 5 stars.
