It's all happening and plenty to dive into as each week the eliminated teams are put under a microscope: There's a big big sound and Seb is all aboard the Giants train. Special intro music this week Were Melbourne the better side who couldn't kick or did Collingwood's defense hold up - insert a Carlton reference here but the Dees didn't take their changes again Carlton are thro...

What a week of finals! There's so much footy to unpack, along with a bit of off field stuff brewing: Brayden Maynard is free - our thoughts on the case Were Melbourne the better side who couldn't kick or did Collingwood's defense hold up Carlton are through to semi final week The Giants 'upset' the Saints Brisbane cruise at home If you enjoyed our podcast please share it with a...

With the AFL trying to conjure a meaningful final round holding out till the last minute with the floating fixture, we were served a bit of a dud. But there's plenty to run through including: North Melbourne are back! The highest scoring team and the Coleman medal winner (if you exclude goals against West Coast) There's a very lucky side in the 8 Thoughts on the All Australian Squad We loo...

Footy was the big winner this weekend with upsets galore! So much so that 1st played 2nd and it is about the 5th most interesting story. This week we dive right into: The Buldogs suffered an awful loss - where to from here? The goal review system has failed. Is it serving it's purpose? Essendon were terrible Is it the end of an era in Geelong? Are the Swans the 7th best team or just very lucky...

Lots of fun this week with footy bringing us all the unpredictability that we love. Collingwood impressed in beating the Cats Carlton are rolling into September The Saints roll the Tiges The Buldogs do a Buldogs thing and lose to 16th Plus we look at all the retiring players so far for 2023 If you enjoyed our podcast please share it with a friend!

With a number of upsets there's a lot of jostling for position in the top 8. This week we dive right into: Can you smell what the blues are cooking? Collingwood drop another game - what does Seb think of Hawthorn now? The Bombers got out of jail but is there finals in their near future? North Melbourne lose again. Where is the hope? Geelong & Port Adelaide played a heavyweight clash down a...

An epic Saturday night contest between 1st and 2nd gave us a little entree into September. Along with this contest we dissect the round. The top 3 teams on the ladder lose whilst there's plenty of movement in the bottom half of the 8 Carlton took a big step but did they get Collingwood at the right time? The Bombers finals spot is now in jeapordy North Melbourne now have a (losing) streak to r...

An epic Saturday night contest between 1st and 2nd gave us a little entree into September. Along with this contest we dissect the round. St Kilda and North Melbourne played a bit of a nothing contest, but there was a lot on the line in this Podcast rivalry game. We go right into this game and where the Saints and Roos are at. How good was Collingwood's victory over the Power? Does it mean anyt...

With a couple of big 8 point games and a 6 point game thrown in for good measure, we are no closer to knowing what the first week of the finals will be. But we did witness some cracking contests. The Dogs blew a golden opportunity to secure their finals spot. Melbourne & Brisbane played out a classic at the MCG. What did dropping Grundy say about the Demons? Geelong announced themselves as a c...

With the race for the 8 heating up we've looked at the remaining 7 rounds and done our best predictions for how the finals will look. We called Adelaide's downfall but just how well are Essendon travelling? Geelong had a 10 goal win but is there a flaw in their game against the top sides? The Dees win but Tom wasn't impressed (but he was a little salty) Richmond's leadership was on...

The season is well and truly alive with 4 teams sitting a game or less outside the top 8! A stunning finish to the Essendon vs Port Adelaide game Richmond were back and now they are definitely not. Where will they finish in 2024? There are woes for Melbourne but will their game style hold them in good stead come September? Last week Seb declared St Kilda are a lock for the top 8 - what do we make...

The bye rounds are done, everyone has played 14 games and we are getting closer and closer to the business end of the season. This week we discuss The Eagles. Where to from here and what do we make of them? What to make of the ladder from 5th to 13th? Is the uneven fixture creating an unfair advantage for some teams chasing a top 8 spot? St Kilda are a lock for the top 8 (Not Tom declaring it this...

More bye rounds but still a number of things simmering in the background. Port Adelaide have won 11 on the trot - how good was their win over Geelong? Is there a leadership crisis at Geelong? What does Jack Gunston & Daniel Rich dropping themselves say about the Lions? A classic Richmond win in the wet Where does another loss leave the Saints? Some North Melbourne positivity If you enjoyed our...

A little bit of a marathon 8 game round the boys cast their minds back to Thursday night and day 1 of the world test championships (apparently there was a Saints game on during this time) and go right through the round up to and including the ripping contest between the Demons and Magpies. Does this win give Melbourne some legitimacy? Carlton lost again so there's that. The premiership pyramid...

Into the bye rounds we go and it seems like the more things change the more they stay the same! We dive into the 7 games of footy! Carlton are doing a really good "Carlton" at the moment Melbourne got the 4 points but are there alarm bells there? The premiership pyramid is stable - should there be further movement? Essendon get another win and move to 6th - did it have any (zach) merit?...

The biggest talking point of the round is no doubt that Carlton are cooked. Whilst discussing this, we also look at: Does Sydney's win over Carlton mean anything? What's the situation with 2 premiership favourites Melbourne and Geelong Big moves on the premiership pyramid Can Essendon & Adelaide hold their spots in the 8? Are Fremantle a chance of making the top 8 and who makes way? Th...

Breaking news has just dropped with Damien Hardwick stepping down as coach of the Tigers after 14 years and 3 premierships. We also dive into: Interchange gate and the Kangaroos spirited fight Changes to the premiership pyramid Port Adelaide's young guns and a big Friday night victory Is it all doom and gloom for West Coast? Also the Saints won again, so there's that. If you enjoyed our po...

With the surprising announcement that Alastair Clarkson will be stepping away from Football to focus on his health and wellbeing we are hear with our instant reaction to the news and the fallout.

After a quick week off, we have a bumper episode diving into all the round 9 action including: The Doggies Defense Why Richmond are not "back" We have 3 terrible teams - just what does that mean? The Premiership Pyramid has a few new teams Another positive Essendon stat (yes, this legitimately happened 2 episodes in a row) If you enjoyed our podcast please share it with a friend! Music -...
