The latest episode of Podcats, our official club podcast, has hit the airwaves.

Host Adam McNicol is joined by fellow Cats Media reporter Mitch Broughton and AFL Media's Pete Ryan.

The panellists discuss:

* The loss to Greater Western Sydney

* Whether the Cats wasted a great start against the Giants

* This week's clash with the Brisbane Lions at Simonds Stadium

* How the Lions and Cats are likely to line up

* The rise of Tom Ruggles (although Podcats was recorded before Ruggles was elevated)

* The VFL team's game against the AFL Academy at Simonds Stadium on Saturday
