G’day and welcome to Footytalk.com.au.
The World’s First Australian Rules Football Podcast.
R.I.P Steve Bartram!
The world is worse off without you.
Since beginning in 2005, we have grown to become the Voice of The People - a fan’s perspective on the real events both within and behind the game of Australian Rules Footy.
Rather than the version of the game that the mainstream medja purports, The Explosion and his team of armchair experts bring you an informative and unsanitised look at the game.
With a cool, crisp new look, Footytalk.com.au continues to bring you an inside look at each week’s games, the Medja, our Boy of the Year, Footy Tipping and Supercoach Leagues, and the Reality Ladder makes a come back after 2 years lay off.
Thankfully we have a full dance card of games to talk about this week, although with the results on Friday night, it’s a wonder we managed to get a podcast up at all this week. There were threats not to allow any ‘opposition supporters’ grace the bowels of Studio 2 ever again after the insipid performance we saw at the MCG last Friday. The Jack Elliott issue continues, as do the ongoing sagii (plural for saga) of the Tassie AFL side, and the Stadium Deals. We need a good dose of drugs in sport or some footballer assaults to hit the front pages so we don’t repeat ourselves ad-nauseum week after week

On a side note, I would like to thank all our listeners for their patience in bearing with me during my explosive travels last year and continuing to listen in. In what was a very difficult year due to driving around the countryside, our listenership continued to grow and whilst some of the shows may not have been the greatest quality, the fact that we still managed to bring a Footytalk Podcast to the airways every week is something of great pride.
I would like to pass on a special thanks to everyone who joined in the fun and frivolity during my travels as I would not have been able to continue the quality correspondence on the way the game is being run without you. To the following people: - The Watcher and Dr. Loch (our oldest AND youngest presenters on the one show, The Dogman of Alcatraz (who let the Dog out), Bluey (at least one intelligent Red Head around) , Red Hot (our honourred first female presenter), Le Ferrey (nuggety Sydney-based back pocket ferret), CFC Dan (obviously a proud Carlton Football Club supporter now), and Sticky Wicket (aka Odgi) as well as our regulars in Z, Polly, Work Experience Boy, Moose, and Auction.
Without you all, we would not have been able to bring Footytalk to the masses during my absence from Melbourne and I have to pass on a sincere and very heartfelt thank you to you all. I look forward to catching up with you all in person again during my interstate ventures during 2009.
