Listen "Old Habits Die Hard"
Episode Synopsis
Dangerous weekend off, out of habit we almost shifted into Big Bash mode! Not this year though because it’s time to Restump Podcast awards, finals campaigns and contracts.It’s been a while since there’s been a finals pep in our step and a September glide in our stride. But we’ve earned our place in the eight so we’re shamelessly strutting towards Optus Stadium. On this episode, after the entertaining Ryan Crowley was well received, we’re asking listeners who you’d like to hear from next and why? And we’ll see if we can make it happen.But back to now and we’ve adoration to bestow upon the 2022 Leigh Matthews Trophy, the great Andy Brayshaw… or Andy Bradshaw as Mark McGowan knows him by apparently. There is no more a meaningful and prestigious individual award to win given it is selected by the players themselves.We’ve got contracts to talk, some signed, some not so signed and some in danger of being singed. Acres, Aish, Banfield, Griff, Lobbby…. Just to name a few.With Erasmus and Johnson doing everything right and on AFL trajectory, do we really want to pay overs for Blake Acres? He’s been a big contributor this year.Down at Peel, if Mitch Crowden puts too many more feet forward he’ll end up on his back! He continues to put a magnificent batch of form together but can’t get his opportunity. Is there any way in?Is there a purple Marlon Pickett in the Peel ranks, as we look for improved finals forward line strategy? Let’s get into it. We’ll raise a lot of issues, talk a lot of gibberish, end up further back than we started and with more questions than we set out with. But the nonsensical journey is as important as the ever-evasive destination. So, if you’ve nothing to do, nowhere else to be and nothing better to listen to, join us for this 45 minutes on the purple path to the promised land. Send us a textSupport the show
