The ESPN Footy Podcast

This week on Red time, JB and Coxy discuss Chris Scott's candid comments on Tyson Stengle and the delicate balance between supporting players and maintaining accountability, before unpacking why trust is everything inside a football club. The boys also debate on-field tensions between teammates, the AFL's willingness to listen to player feedback on this year's rule changes, why effort and attitude often trump tactics and skill, and how much double-up fixtures can shape a season. Plus, they ask whether Fremantle's 14-1 start is a blessing or a curse, and reveal which teams they think are best placed to challenge for the flag.
