Jeremy does not need to be a super fit athlete. He is a pure footballer that reads the ball better than any player in the AFL. Just wish he was playing with the Mighty Hawks. But it is a joy to watch this bloke play footy. Favorite player in the league outside of Hawthorn.

[@ilikegamesandtech6712]

As a Saints supporter, I haven't seen a more perfect passage of play than that WCE McGovern, Vardy, Ryan Sheed play, in the dying moments. There were so many things that could have gone wrong, which often go wrong in that high pressure situation, but they didn't go wrong. I don't think it's a coincidence that he was "just playing footy" when you exclude the outside noise, things just go right.

Cheers for the best interview yet Gov your a true legend mate!
Don’t worry about the media your looking fit as! Your will kill it this year!
Yeah The Boys! 💪🏽🔥

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic chat and a wonderful insight. So much more respect for Gov and the team for actually caring and helping guide a young Gov

[@stephenphilipps]

Nice to watch this with the synergy of Mitch getting an opportunity in a prelim, nearly through to a grand final. Like his brother, hopefully no cracked ribs though if the Blues get up aha

[@jpw5029]

Great podcast, schoey is made for this

[@xSnappa]

Love Jezza's transparency, legend.

[@luapjb]

He is a legend in every fan's book, hands down. Great to hear his story - that ride from Hillarys to Freo seems to have been a key to our 2018 flag. Really quite inspiring to be honest.

[@roysmeck]

Its another great example as a Dockers supporter of how it is hard to hate the Eagles anymore!

[@bennyjones7407]
