Ryan Daniels | Animalistic nicknames, numerically sequenced name reading and overeager news-breaking

Back from a post-finals bye, Harper Pestinger and Hamish O'Brien are joined by 7 News Perth's Ryan Daniels for The Things About Football. The tribunal is first: 0:29 - What makes for a poorly abbreviated footy ground? 2:29 - Which animals have been shunned by football nicknamers?  And then Ryan's niche footballing loves and hates: 7:12 - Footy songs' brass instrumentals 16:20 - Premiership medal-accepting players' names read out in number order 26:22 - Retrospectively analysing past drafts 35:35 - The obsession with becoming the first to break a story 44:58 - Over-the-top goal music 48:01 - Fans' lack of access to sufficiently deep analytics You can watch us on YouTube now!
