In this episode, Ryan reveals the depths of his grand final pain, while Brett reveals his disappointment at a lack of drunk O’Connell tweets.

Just for the record, Roarers, the name on the Soundcloud clip was the original name for this week's podcast, yet it seems to have mysteriously changed upon appearing on The Roar.
Now I don't want to come straight out and suggest Ryan is not taking the GF loss well, so badly in fact that he would change a title to something more palatable for himself, but just consider these facts:
1. The text he received when the podcast went live contained the heading, "Glory glory",
2. The heading on The Roar is not "Glory glory", and
3. While I look after production, Ryan is in charge of promotion and publishing.
But again, I wouldn't want to lead anyone into any conclusions not of their own making... ;-)
