2020: Let's Own It

Unpluggered Podcast: Footy's back at Moorabbin!

Just days out from the first official match of the St Kilda FC Women in their inaugural AFLW season, the boys discuss the list build of the St Kilda FCW team and the makeup of Conference B in 2020, the Saints finals chances in year one, and of course, the big Round 1 clash with the Western Bulldogs girls, coached by none other than former St Kilda legend, Nathan Burke.

CRINGE!!! - Peta Searle must have got Brett Kirk to write her speech - Richo may have assisted!

While I'm at it, what's the story with the Unpluggered podcast? To my knowledge it's not an official podcast put out by the club, yet it's so goddamn bland and lacklustre, without even the remotest semblance of originality, that you'd swear it was.

Good on them I suppose for going to the effort of doing a podcast, but if your podcast ambitions are to simply churn out a beige imitation of what's already served up ad nauseam on commercial radio, why bother?

It's such a shame the Saints Disco podcast fizzled out, those guys were actually pretty good, they had their own shtick and a bit of flair and didn't mind if they said stuff that went against the official club mantra.

These Unpluggered blokes tow the official line to the point that renders the whole thing dreary and pointless.

If you're reading this Unpluggered fellas, ffs take the time to pull together a pre-production meeting and throw around a few ORIGINAL ideas - asking a player his "favourite movie" or "most annoying teammate" or "favourite meal", is done to death and is just plain sad.

Seriously guys, if your goal was to create a show that sounds like something that SEN might throw together at midnight on a Tuesday morning, then you've nailed it, if it was to create content for Saints fans, that might contribute something fresh and unique in a very saturated market, then I hate to say it, but MASSIVE FAIL!

[asiu]

last years efforts
on our blokes footy were brill (imo)

[asiu]

Hi Linton.

Always appreciate the feedback.

During pre season generally the air is a bit more positive.

If you go back to a few of our episodes late last year coming off losses and when it came to list changes we gave a few whacks where necessary and made some harsh calls on certain individuals.

Also for this episode given it was a case of introducing players most of our fans have never heard of it we took a slightly more broad/low key/introductory approach.

Kind of meet the players type thing.

Happy to keep hearing feedback as the season progresses but hopefully that provides some context.

Hope you keep listening.

Cheers and go Saints.

Yep can you believe that Searle was an assistant/development coach of the mens team. She makes Caroline Wilson look happy!

Searle is a female version of Cho.

It’s such a pity we didn’t get Burkey as our coach. So wrong.

Re the podcast, it would be hard to totally let it rip - or do you have a lot more freedom on a podcast vs a live radio show?

Even I guess If the freedom is there, Dash has a mainstream radio career to protect so your reputation carries across all mediums. (And aren’t we all lucky to have him on SEN?)

It ain’t so much about being negative as it is about being original.

Do you really want to sound like some kind of bland SEN-lite?

No? ...well unfortunately you do.

Like I said in my post, good on you for getting off your arses and doing a podcast, but for god sake stop trying to make dull radio - the world doesn’t need it, if we want that the options are endless.

The podcast medium is one of the most exciting media developments in recent times as it allows any old bozo who can get their hands on some recording equipment, to have a voice.

And that is exactly what your show lacks... VOICE.

Dig deep and find something fresh and original and abandon your mimicry of shitty radio - there’s more than enough of that, the footy public don’t need it!

...nor do St Kilda supporters need something that sounds like an official voice, when it ain’t actually official.

You’ve got the medium, and because you’re discussing a subject people like myself are craving for, people will listen, so FFS aim for originality.

Come up with something fresh, or at least put your own twist on something familiar but for the sake of Saints fans, stop trying to sound like a cheesy SEN, it ain’t working.

Even I guess If the freedom is there, Dash has a mainstream radio career to protect so your reputation carries across all mediums. (And aren’t we all lucky to have him on SEN?)

Oh really? Dash is a mainstream media guy?

Seriously I didn’t know that.

It makes sense as that’s exactly what it sounds like.

If that’s the case, then all the more reason to try to do something a bit different.

You’re not having to please your bosses here cobber, you don’t have to go out and act like a jerk, just use the medium in ways that you might not be able to on the radio.

Close your eyes, think of ideas, you never know what you might come up with.

Or take a few moments to listen to a few old eps of Saints Disco, just a couple of bozos talking St Kilda - difference was, they had ideas, they had an original voice, they weren’t trying to get a job at Moorabbin - such a shame they couldn’t get their s*** together, but with their demise comes your opportunity, the fans are hungry for content so don’t blow it!

For what it’s worth, I completely agree about Peta Searle, she’s a Cho knockoff - with Brett Kirk writing her speeches.

Horrible to see Burkey in anyone’s colours but ours.

How did that happen? The mind boggles!!!!

[saintly]

if your that unhappy with it, don't listen and and go and make your own podcast.

You're a killjoy aren't you. In an age where more content about your club is generally more desirable than less - you want to tear it down? Unpluggered is basically 3 Saints loving mates sitting around and talking about the club with the odd interview. If you think it's bland - listen to the corporate rubbish the club puts out. That podcast is horrendous - you learn more reading this forum than on there.

Instead of asking "what's the story with the Unpluggered podcast?"- why don;t you just use that Google thing and find out yourself. Like here maybe ... https://player.whooshkaa.com/shows/unpluggered You'll quickly find out what it is and that it's unofficial.

BTW - take a listen to some of the prior episides - in particular the interviews with Barry Breen on Cowboy's ill health and the one with our pro scout in the trade review episode. If you think they are bland and lacklustre - you must live a seriously exciting life. Outside of here of course

He'd probably have about the same amount of listeners. Seriously, it's really bland mate. I listen regardless but it's rough.

Lol, we've only ever asked those questions to the AFLW girls because we wanted to help introduce who they were as people a little bit, to more mainstream Saints fans who listen who are much more used to knowing alot more about the personalities of the male players because they are much more high profile. In previous episodes we've gone much deeper into current state and the guests we 're able to access.

Most fans wouldn't have heard of Kate Shierlaw or Liv Vesely before a couple of weeks ago so the goal was to get the girls to show abit of personality and individuality rather than same old "how do you think we'll go on the weekend?" "well, we just want to go get the 4 points..."

It was 60 seconds of the podcast, but please go on...

Seriously guys, if your goal was to create a show that sounds like something that SEN might throw together at midnight on a Tuesday morning, then you've nailed it, if it was to create content for Saints fans, that might contribute something fresh and unique in a very saturated market, then I hate to say it, but MASSIVE FAIL!

You're a killjoy aren't you. In an age where more content about your club is generally more desirable than less - you want to tear it down? Unpluggered is basically 3 Saints loving mates sitting around and talking about the club with the odd interview. If you think it's bland - listen to the corporate rubbish the club puts out. That podcast is horrendous - you learn more reading this forum than on there.

Instead of asking "what's the story with the Unpluggered podcast?"- why don;t you just use that Google thing and find out yourself. Like here maybe ... https://player.whooshkaa.com/shows/unpluggered You'll quickly find out what it is and that it's unofficial.

BTW - take a listen to some of the prior episides - in particular the interviews with Barry Breen on Cowboy's ill health and the one with our pro scout in the trade review episode. If you think they are bland and lacklustre - you must live a seriously exciting life. Outside of here of course

Hey Saint Matt, before we go any further can you please answer these questions?

What is your favourite movie?

Who is your favourite band?

Can you please tell us your most annoying teammate/family member/friend?

Cheers cobber,
Linty!

Lol, we've only ever asked those questions to the AFLW girls because we wanted to help introduce who they were as people a little bit, to more mainstream Saints fans who listen who are much more used to knowing alot more about the personalities of the male players because they are much more high profile. In previous episodes we've gone much deeper into current state and the guests we 're able to access.

Most fans wouldn't have heard of Kate Shierlaw or Liv Vesely before a couple of weeks ago so the goal was to get the girls to show abit of personality and individuality rather than same old "how do you think we'll go on the weekend?" "well, we just want to go get the 4 points..."

It was 60 seconds of the podcast, but please go on...

More on the soft cap and how DOS and his team are performing could be of interest. Especially the debate around providing more public access to the CD data. They did it in the NFL and apparently it helped clubs advance with thier exploitation of data and analytics.

Currently only the rich clubs can afford the 150k annual fees to access CD data analytics and then the cost to employ the personnel capable of knowing what to do with the data.

Anyway it's an area of the game that is only going to grow so there could be an audience for this type of information.

Unpluggered Podcast: Footy's back at Moorabbin!

Just days out from the first official match of the St Kilda FC Women in their inaugural AFLW season, the boys discuss the list build of the St Kilda FCW team and the makeup of Conference B in 2020, the Saints finals chances in year one, and of course, the big Round 1 clash with the Western Bulldogs girls, coached by none other than former St Kilda legend, Nathan Burke.

CRINGE!!! - Peta Searle must have got Brett Kirk to write her speech - Richo may have assisted!

While I'm at it, what's the story with the Unpluggered podcast? To my knowledge it's not an official podcast put out by the club, yet it's so goddamn bland and lacklustre, without even the remotest semblance of originality, that you'd swear it was.

Good on them I suppose for going to the effort of doing a podcast, but if your podcast ambitions are to simply churn out a beige imitation of what's already served up ad nauseam on commercial radio, why bother?

It's such a shame the Saints Disco podcast fizzled out, those guys were actually pretty good, they had their own shtick and a bit of flair and didn't mind if they said stuff that went against the official club mantra.

Definitely on the cards mate and that is a particular topic that I work with day to day. I've spoken with DOS abit and he's keen to come on the podcast at a suitable time too.

There's criticism and then there's constructive criticism - huge difference. I've listened to the episodes and the boys do a really good job. The AFLW insights were excellent.

Podcasts are different things to different people. This is what works for them - it's three mates having a chat about the Saints but obviously with guests on, it's got a more professional vibe.

I've got nothing but praise for anyone who puts their time and effort in to supporting the club and shapes debate.

Equally, yes, the unfiltered nature of Screech and Tarv on Saints Disco is brilliant. It's raw, compulsive listening. I wish they did more of it, but it looks like the Disco is having a hangover all of its own right now. Hope it makes a speedy recovery, because nobody cuts through the crap likes those two.

That's why I thought I'd mention it, you two guys could have a ripping yarn about the topic. Not sure how much detail DOS could discuss but it would be great to hear about the process of how he interacts with the coaches to prepare design briefs on coaching objectives that then allow him to return to the workshop and build the tools to measure those objectives, especially for things like game styles and player rankings. The relationship between analyst and coach and how they combine and understand each others world enough to reach successful outcomes could be really interesting.
