Pointless
A pointless ramble through the world of Aussie Rules Football with Martin and Dom, a couple of old mates and arch Collingwood-Carlton rivals. Not a lot of insight, but a few laughs along the way.

Welcome to the Gold Coast!

The Unmentionable C-Word
We are sick of talking about AFL teams beginning with C, especially those with an "n" and a "t" in them. So we do our best to talk about other things leading into Gather Round
An Incomplete Circus, or A Team of Sheep Led By a Sheep
Surprise surprise we talk a lot about Carlton, using insightful quotes from Alexander the Great as well as Alexander the Not-Too-Bad (aka Dom's son Alex). Dom gets worked up and Martin pokes the Bear.
Carlton is a Supermarket Chicken
So many possibilities for titles this week - from unumpirable rules to the opposite of nonchalance. The AFL keeps out-doing itself with complexity and inequity. But we are here to help you work it all out. All with no mention...
Part B: He Ate His Own Wee Mat
Part B kicks off with our favourite French Bulldog (well, equal favourite) disgracing himself. Sound is fixed and we uncover the secret of the old club songs sung by The Fable Singers in 1972
Part A: Piastri Drives for Carlton
We've split this one because the first 20 minutes (part A) has a few audio issues (sorry!) Fixed in Part B :) Martin is of course Cock-A-Hoop after Opening Round and Dom wants to talk about anything other than footy
Rose and Crown with Paddy and Edmo
I caught up with Paddy and Mark ("Edmo") in London in the off season and talked fishmongers, bloodbaths, pies and dogs. Oh and of course, Bazzball...
Opening Round Part 2: Cheer Squad Curling
In Part 2 we analyse how cheer squads should use the principles of curling in AFL games and Martin complains for three hours about the draw. Again

Bruce And The Lasergoals Meet The Frockers
Just Martin and Dom this week, dissecting the big finals stories, like if Pendlebury is "unflappable", who is the AFL's most "flappable" player? And how good would it be if we replaced the goalposts with lasers? Not to mentio...
Shying Away
No your eyes are not deceiving you - we are back! And we do not shy away from the big issues. Martin rants and raves again about the draw, Gemma is PUMPED for the finals and Dom does everything to shy away from talking ...
Pointless On The Road: The Trip to Italy/Adelaide
When Martin and Dom had a weekend away in Adelaide we thought - why would we keep that to ourselves? Listen to Dom's heart breaking in 38 seconds as Adelaide kick three goals in the third quarter to absolutely ruin the game as a co...
Old Blokes
After a little break, it's just the old blokes this week. Martin and Dom discuss their trip to Adelaide to see the Blues come back to earth with a THUD, as well as just how many umpires could we have and still do an awful job. ...
The Carlton (Gummy) Sharks
Back with a full list this week, we realise that the two teams that changed logos this year - the Suns and the Crows - haven't lost a quarter so far. So a rebrand is the obvious move for the Blues. We do discuss other clubs (...

Fur, Feathers and Cyclones
Despite all advice to the contrary, we are back! Gemma, Martin and Dom even have new equipment so there is some hope that you will be able to hear us! We talk opening round and whether you'd kick with the cyclone if you...
Episode 21: The Stabbing Knife of Hope (or: The Nipple Theory)
Hello there. By popular demand we tried one more episode but nobody showed up and so Alex and Dom decided to show how little they know about pretty much anything, but especially the draft, new team logos and next year's draw. But af...
