For the Barkly Street podcast, zoom calls in isolation are still the flavour of the day, but the discussion in this week’s episode had a point of difference – footy is finally back! 

After months of football nostalgia, puppy tales and Netflix discussion, Bob and Bont catch up for a good old fashioned chat about the footy issues of the day, fresh from the competition’s resumption. 

The boys discuss the first game of the long-awaited Round 2 between the Tigers and Magpies, the impact of the shortened quarters, and Bob suggests a ‘set shot off’ to determine the winner in a drawn game.

Saint-turned-Bulldog Josh Bruce then jumps on the call to talk about facing his old side, avoiding the ‘bronx’ cheers of the crowd this weekend, who St Kilda’s ‘chief of the chat’ might be, building chemistry with the Dogs’ forwards, and that developing moustache.

And there’s team selection news, with Bont and ‘Brucey’ giving an insight into the character of debutant Laitham Vandermeer, and the triumphant return of fan favourite Lin Jong.
