Episode 8 - Pros and cons of the roving goalkeeper (Analysis)

This week’s podcast is an analysis episode, looking at the evolution of the roving goalkeeper in Gaelic football.

Why are teams adopting this relatively new tactic, how does it work, and how do you stop it? Also, who are the top scoring goalkeepers so far in 2023?
