The Coaches Box - AFL DreamTeam/SuperCoach Podcast

Dane Swan is so fat, he ate all of Travis Cloke's pies as well. The boys start with a rant about the scoop mentality of the footy media, which led to a lot of rubbish reports of fake late withdrawals on the weekend. Then, instead of a usual round review, they go through important mid-pricers for next season to see if, as m0nty doubts, there is actually a goldmine of value that many coaches will mine.

Dane Swan is so fat... wait, do we have to do jokes now about how Dane Swan is so drunk?
