The Bombers Clubcast unpacks the chaos, the coup, and the coaching carousel at Tullamarine. • Why one insider is begging the Bombers to hand the keys to a favourite son — and who's quietly emerged as the real frontrunner. • The eye-watering Tassie offer Nate Caddy walked away from, and why locking him in until 2031 might be the only win Essendon gets all year. • A leaked text from Chris Scott, a coach and list manager spotted in the stands, and the trade dominoes already tumbling around Zach Merrett and Jordan Ridley. • Kevin Sheedy's most brutally honest sit-down yet — the regret he's been carrying for years, and the one call he'd take back in a heartbeat. • Plus, could Fitzroy '96 actually beat this Essendon side? The debate gets spicier than anyone expected. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
