110 Percenters

Today’s show was simple: we discussed one of the most remarkable – and cruellest – AFL Grand Finals ever played. We spoke about how the Lions surged to win from 17 points down with four minutes to play, the moments that contributed to the result, and attempt to comprehend the long-term legacy of this imperial Brisbane side and the gallant Freo that came so agonisingly close to toppling them. Get f...

Somehow… Brisbane returned to the Grand Final. On this week's show, Cody, Jonathan, and I did the only things we could: looked back at the stunning prelim finals, previewed the decider (including our tips), and shot From The Hip, debating questions such as Nick Daicos's Brownlow Medal win and the AFL's decision to not suspend Hawthorn's James Sicily and Tom Barrass for their abuse of the umpires i...

It's Prelim week! So naturally, Cody, Jonathan, and I dedicated most of the show to previewing the two games that often produce the highest-quality footy of the year. Where will they be won, where will they be lost, and how do these match-ups tend to play out? Get full access to One Percenters at www.onepercenters.net.au/subscribe

On this week’s episode, Cody, Jonathan, and I reviewed the inaugural Wildcard Round before turning our attention to the Elimination and Qualifying Finals.

The original trio reunites! This week, Cody, Jonathan, and I discussed what happened at the Pullman Hotel, the fallout, and what it says about the footy industry.

The miracle of globalisation and the internet means I’m publishing this week’s episode despite currently lounging by the pool in Ubud. Cody and I asked footy’s forbidden question – is there too much of it – thereby identifying ourselves as the only publicly anti-footy footy podcast on the market. We also spoke about Port Adelaide CEO Matthew Richardson’s recent comments heavily implying that the c...

On this week’s episode, Cody and I – Jonathan is on holiday – went deep on the Geelong concussion waiver saga, discussed Cody’s trip to Manuka Oval to see the latest edition of the Expansion Cup, reflected on Taylor Walker’s career and legacy following his retirement announcement, and looked back at the first game of the new AFLW season. Plus: Cody confirmed that Matt Rowell contains multitudes, a...

This week, Jonathan told us about his and his daughter’s trip to the MCG on a sunny Sunday afternoon to watch the Tiger cubs take on the Eaglets, and we indulged with a bumper edition of From the Hip, fielding listener questions about subjects like Greg Swann’s memo to clubs, whether Carlton can afford to not appoint Josh Fraser, Nicky Winmar’s expulsion from the Australian Football Hall of Fame,...

You won’t find more inspiring footy stories than Sam Docherty’s. He came back from three ACL tears and two bouts of cancer to forge an outstanding AFL career and captain his boyhood Blues. His goal in his comeback game in Round 1, 2022, raised hairs on the back of the neck. Today, he’s a rising star in footy media. Docherty has captured the many highlights (and lowlights) of his career in a new bo...

On this week’s episode, Cody, Jonathan and I spoke about Collingwood’s impressive Round 20 win against the Crows and whether it changes our views on what the Pies can do this year, discussed the continued booing of Isaac Quaynor and the Adelaide Football Club’s equivocal response, dug into coach press conferences, debated where the 20th license stat should go, and considered which footy stat we’d...

To celebrate our 10th episode, we invited a guest onto the pod! Marnie Vinall is a journo for the ABC who writes about the AFLW and diversity and inclusion at all levels of the game. It was a real pleasure having her on. The four of us chatted – a lot, it was another long episode! – about Ken Hinkley’s appointment as Tasmania’s inaugural AFL coach, the opportunity cost of Essendon’s incredible ups...
