It's been a sluggish start to Carlton's season, and similarly the BigFooty Blues podcast has slowly trudged into 2018, both squads coming via off-season campaigns that perhaps teased at more.

And as we too welcome a debutant in Neese while eagerly tracking the progress of rising star Jimmae, veteran captain The Old Dark Navy's oversees a breakdown of our season progress so far, with every form of analysis that Jim can muster, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm and insight from our rookie guest.

From Harry, to Harford, to Hardiman, we cover all the hot-button Carlton AFL and AFLW topics since December in a wide-ranging discussion that would otherwise leave Aphrodite splitting threads for days.
