We are recording episode 67 tonight…

Recapping a big week.

Aside from the obvious discussion we will be having about the video episode and the fallout, are there any other Q&A you’d like us to discuss?

Could a Magic Round work in the NPL?
Loan system a chance?
Any potential cupsets in the QLD Cup?

29/03/2024

It’s been 24 hours since ‘Episode One… Question Time with Cav’ went out to the public on YouTube, Spotify etc.

Quite the reaction 👀

For what it’s worth, we enjoyed the chance to sit down and ask 12 questions that we thought the QLD footballing community would want to hear responses to.

All we can do is ask the questions. We can’t answer them. And if we get an answer we don’t agree with or don’t like, we might ask it a different way. More often than not though, we will accept the answer and move on.

We aren’t paid journalists. We are three lads trying to ignite football debate in the community. This particular episode looks like it’s opened a few discussion points up.

Of all the questions we put to Rob… one appears to have lit up more than others.

Do I think the answer could have been more accepting of the problems Squadi has caused a lot of administrators? Yes.
Do I think a touch more humility may have helped how the response came across? 100%.

Ultimately, he is entitled to answer how he sees fit.

The rest of the questions (and answers) are, I believe, less ‘controversial’ and hopefully a bit more informative than we are used to getting from FQ. Hopefully this episode can kickstart some form of transparency moving forward.

On a personal note…. never have I been more nervous about reaction from an episode we’ve done. I’ll be glad when the next few days has passed. Anxiety levels are through the roof.

The collaboration with FQ has opened us up a little, to more scrutiny and suspicion. But it also allows us to get more content out with some great guests during the upcoming months. We are positive that our followers will enjoy what is to come.
