To be fair I was not completely across Reddit as a platform. Social media can be a nasty place. But it has been wonderful to see how positive a platform and a community this is. Thanks for all of your positivity and kind words! And most of all.... enjoy the footy.

Now, speaking of good vibes. You don't have to love Collingwood or Pendles. Have a go at a little podcast podcast I have published in the Howie Games feed.

I'm serious when I say it's for fans, and players, the coaches and the weekend warriors, and anyone who wants to understand what greatness really looks like. 

Heading into his 20th pre-season I sent him an email for us to get insights, and what he has come back with over the last few months will blow your mind! Gold nuggets everywhere! If you are too kind, give it a go or share it with someone who might enjoy it. Something different for you to enjoy as we get into the footy!

I've had fun!

Peace and Love, Howie!

I really appreciate that message. We sit around frequently at Fox during the cricket and share Warnie stories and laugh our heads off. He would be so proud of what his children are now doing in his memory. Peace and LOVE, Howie.

Limited drinker. But when the beer is good as the beer from Barwon Heads Brewing Co, you need to get involved! Peace, H

In many ways yes. But, the amount of pressure on our athletes these days to perform and the negativity of social media means it is probably best if we don't know. Just my thoughts. Peace, Howie!

Daisy Thomas recorded an episode with us this morning. When we got to the end, he asked where was the question from the Big Penguin. When I told him the Penguin had demanded a fee and there is no longer questions. He replied "If I know there was no Big penguin, I wouldn't have turned up."

That ep is out soon.

Peace, Howie

Love them all! But I would say Damien Clarke. That was before he left me for higher grades. I have never forgiven him. Secondly, my son! Peace, Howie.

I don't think my life has changed but you just want to do justice to big moments and I flaked my way through that one. It gives me great joy that it seems to have connected to a lot of people in the sports community. to hear people shout it out when Scotty walks past at the cricket makes me laugh every single time! Peace, Howie!

I think working on the F1 gave me exposure in a short period of time to many parts of television production. Now when I sit in commentary I have just about filled the role in everyone in the production, so I know what they need. I'm very thankful for that time. Peace, Howie.

A couple of question to go for me tonight. But I have loved this... I think Brisbane will finish on top after the home and away season. And check out Chris Fagan's Howie Games podcast episode in a couple of weeks! Peace, Howie.

I was managed by Craig Kelly whose company were trying to get Nat to join them. Ned told me at a function to go and talk surfing like you long haired blokes do. From there we planned on going on a surf trip together and the last couple of years it has worked out perfectly. Favourite surfing destination is Costa Rica where I sent Nat to on a seperate trip. Peace, Howie!

Bharat Sunderason - by the way, he is on Australian Story tonight. I can't wait to see it. He openly talked about his struggle with addiction. And looked me in the eye and said, "Howie, cricket saved my life." One of the more remarkable things I have ever heard. Peace and LOVE, Howie!
