Steve Bartram - R.I.P
Thanks to the listeners and readers for the emails asking whether we will be back again for the 2010 season. Footytalk.com.au exists for you, and we hope that you continue to get something out of our rantings and opinions.
Our Footytalk Supercoach Comp is up and running again. We already have one league full of keen coaches ready to take us on, and a second league has just been opened for any new players. Join up through the Bostonian Website (www.heraldsun.com.au) and type in League Number 323616
Our Footytips Comp is also up running again for those who have little time to spend labouring over their Supercoach Leagues. Go to www.footytips.com.au and search for Footytalk.
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.
As we enter the 2010 season full of hope and optimism for all teams (even Richmond after it’s thrashing of Geelong in the NAB Challenge up in Yea last weekend) we are reminded that all the expectation and enthusiasm of some fans just isn’t enough, and that many fans are just not quite with it. Listening to any of the talkback callers on SIN Radio will tell you that. Isn’t it great when the chickens come home to roost!
The year hasn’t even started yet and The Explosion is off ranting about his pet hates during our first show. Thankfully there is a level head this week keeping him calm and off his soapbox. Do the names of Hurley, Fevola, Stokes and Taylor mean anything as Round 1 approaches? Listen on and find out.

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 3 year lay off. Thanks also to our guest presenters from 2009 - especially to The Veteran and we have obviously promoted the Work Experience Boy from the bench to become a full presenter. We should upgrade his status from W.E.B to Jimmy Olsen.
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 2010.
