Craig, Simon, Cam and Nathan chew the fat (or the out of date milk) over the season just gone, trying to figure out what went wrong and where the club go from here. The boys also talk about the retained list, released moments before the Podcast began, and compete for a solitary flip-flop! Yeah, it's been a long season....Thanks for listening!
