Never Surrender - a GWS Giants AFL podcast

Give us a Hoodoo. BOOM! A bogey ground. SMASH!! Any bloody challenge. KABANG!!! Kingers doesn't give a rats rear about said hoodoos and our short but rich history of bogey teams, haunted grounds and other witch craftery cast upon us. Give us a challenge and we'll meet it. Give us a road trip and we'll galvanize. Give us the most hyped draft pick since Richard Lounder in '87 and we&...

"They're playing Harlem Globetrotter footy. It's relentless." David King (SEN), 18th March, 2024. You Get A Goal..., And You Get A Goal..., And You Get A Goal...., EVERYBODY GETS A GOAL!!!

"Collllliinnn-GIIIIAAANNNTSSS..., GIIIIAAANNNTSSS..., GIIIIAAANNNTSSS..." The Beanstalk, Round 0 2024. Our new most hated team (sorry Doggies, we'll focus on you later), came and GOT SPANKED!!! That'll shut em up, and make Cox shrink down South to where he belongs (doesn't deserve to be in the cow paddock quite frankly). Join Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar Lothbrok as we dive in...

Looks weird dunnit? Round 0. But that's where we're at. Pre Round 1 2024. Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar have folded up the speedos, dusted off the microphones, and are ready to rumble... The off season's done; the sand dunes of Summer Bay have been summited; the Inner West Bay Run's been done 1000 times; Cads is now a Gym Rat; and Tobe's and Cog's are Dad's... 🥹 So strap...

Join Sparrow, Needles, Ragnar and special guest Bangers as we discuss the upcoming 2023 AFL Draft. The GWS Giants hold picks 7 (thank you Richmond), 16, 43, 59, 77, 79, 95. Who do we like? What's the predications for the talent headed to Homebush? What needs do we need to focus on? Usually we're unauthorised, unfiltered and uninformed, but this week we actually present rare insight and inf...

"That one hurts. That one really hurts”. Toby Greene. Moments like these cut deep. But we get off the canvas. We band together. We dust off the mics and console each other. We rally as the Orange Army. It was just one head decapitation too many... But man were they courageous. Plenty to be proud of and look forward to. And plenty to talk about. Join Needles, Sparrow & Ragnar as we reflect...

"This mob, my God, they run like the wind” . Robbo Call it belief, call it #TaylorsProphecy, the Orange Tsunami, or just a bunch of mates playing for each other and lovin footy. Whatever you call it, boy oh boy wowee it's good to watch. And as Tom Green reminded everyone, “What’d I say, what’d I say???”. Time to listen to the lad from Canberra. Free smoke wherever you want it. Join Needle...

"Any Time. Any Place. 13 Venues. Free smoke wherever you want it” . Tom Green 👊 This team is made for finals. Tough, relentless, impervious to pressure. Join Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar Lothbrok as we dive into the Elimination Final between St Kilda and the Giants, a game which saw us fight our way to a 101-77 victory at the home of AFL, the MCG - the 11th venue we've won at in season 20...

SPECIAL EPISODE!! In this HUGE episode previewing our Elimination Final against St Kilda, the One Eyed Giant (the best thing in Sports Media) becomes a Squinter. Or do the Squinters become One Eyed Giants? Either way it makes for glorious Orange flavoured ear candy. There's much to discuss: Snooze Bedford's OUTRAGEOUS miscarriage of justice; the elusive #TaylorsProphecy; a One-Eyed-Giant s...

Der Spatz, Ragnar, Needles present an extra-long celebratory episode of Never Surrender by the Squinters, the best GWS Giants AFL fan-made podcast. We were so good? We're we good? Are we ready? Yes, we're ready. Who's the best? All of the boys, but Cogs did play his 200th and got named in the All-Australian squad so is a total, total legend. There's some new bits today - Maths with...

A HUGE BONUS EPISODE for our loyal listeners! Firstly, Ragnar Lothbrok drops another track for the A-Side of The Squinters Greatest Hits mixed casette (hurry and get your orders in), in tribute to our Power Forward Jesse Hogan and his huge haul of 9 against the Bombers last weekend. And SECONDLY, we welcome to Never Surrender by The Squinters..... Leek Aleer!! A prodigious talent with raw natural...

How good is it, hey? How good is it do the only GWS Giants AFL fancast when the Giants go to town on one of the Old Guard at home? So good, in case you were wondering. Needles, Ragnar and Der Spatz have put it all in here - Bye Phil, thanks for everything. Bye Lloydy, go well, cheers. How good are we? How terrible are they? Who gets Phil Davis' number 1? What do we feel are our chances are of...

Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar touch on the bin fire but mostly avoid the whole mess. There's an incredible tribute to our great Cal Ward in the first quarter to cheer us all up. And for even more orange cheer, WE HAVE ANOTHER AWESOME COMPETITION. Tune in for the details. Hope you've enjoyed the Toby Tribute video - more to come once Sparrow learns how not to sleep. Enjoy and give us a rating...

Join Needles, Ragnar Lothbrok and the Soaring Sparrow as we reflect on the loss in the Battle Of The Bridge..., but MORE IMPORTANTLY, RAGNAR HAS RECORDED A NEW SONG!!! Likely to be on the A-Side of the Squinters debut cassette, it's a moving tribute to Harry Himmleberg signing up for the long haul and for premiership glory with the boys in Orange and Charcoal. We've packed plenty into this one, in...

What do you do when you are on the only GWS Giants AFL fanpod and the Giants win again away (Ballarat - we lost to the Suns there!) for the 7th time in a row, coming from further back and faster than Silky Sullivan to do one over the Bulldogs? You have a very lovely time picking it over and launching some competitions to wins some Giants merchandise. That's what you do. Review us on Apple podcasts...

Join us as we celebrate the BREAKING OF THE CLARKSON CANBERRA CURSE!! It all started with Jeremy Cameron's sulking bottom lip frozen to the Manuka turf back in 2019, and Alistair Clarkson running laps in the snow in his undies, starting a wicked curse that lasted 4 long years. And yet the Canberra Orange Army still turned up in droves - what legends! Now Toby 'He's Our Leader' Greene has risen abo...

Never Surrender by the Squinters is the only GWS Giants AFL fan podcast, and we have a few announcements: 1. The greatest thing you ever heard is at the end of this pod. If you only listen to one bit in 2023, listen to 'He's Our Leader.' You're Welcome. 2. The breaking newsflash that we forgot to talk about was Lachie Ash re-signing. 3. Needles is back! To everyone's relief no doubt, with Ragnar a...

On the back of our rejuvenated Italian rabbit (who's back to career best form), the reliable mittens of Hoges, and Riccas chiming in with a few, we have once again fought off a pesky bunch of brown and gold chicklings. And how bout that Octopus?!! Tentacles latching onto anything and everything. Then there was Breadsy taping to Rabbit for a goal Barella would be proud of. They were brave but no ma...

This podcast starts with an ODE!!! Sparrow on poetical fire. #waveon. Did you see that? We interviewed the Milkman and then the GWS Giants hung in there and gutsed out a win in the pouring rain in 8 degrees centigrade at Traeger Park in Alice Springs in the middle of a desert. Is it a coincidence? (imagine thinking face emoji) Every possible angle in every possible universe is picked over by Ragna...

Yeah, we've only gone and dunnit - had a chat, like absolute bosses, with a forrealz GWS Giant, the one and only, Jason 'the Milkman' 'El Lechero' 'The Balranald Boy' Gillbee!!! Total legend. He's our favourite. Was concussed when we spoke last week, currently carving his way into first grade through the magoos. There's mysteries - so many mysteries, exclusives - bombshells everywhere, and fair di...

Never Surrender by the Squinters is the only GWS Giants FanCast on the entire interweb. And he called it! Didn't he? Sam Taylor only bloody called it! Needles, Ragnar and Der Spatz review the glorious match against Freo - our best game in years and lick our lips about what's coming (hashtag flag). Have a listen to hear what three very satisfied young men sound like (see above). Lovely. Als...

This episode of Never Surrender by the Squinters, the only GWS Giants AFL fancast, may or may not be 40 minutes of Needles and Der Spatzl listening to Ragnar Lodbrok's heavingly emotional paean to Callum Brown. Either way, worth it. neversurrenderpod@gmail.com

Never Surrender by the Squinters, the only AFL GWS Giants FanCast, presented this week by Ragnar Loftbrok, Der Spatz, Dr Nangs and Needles. So I don't get it. We lost again, at home, to a team (who were) below us on the ladder and have had a terrible fortnight, who we need to beat to improve their (our) draft pick and are the fourth enemy in Der Spatz's Big 4 Baddies we need to beat to win...

Some Squinters watch State of Origin (we're moving one to the next game), some Squinters do a pod called Never Surrender by the Squinters - the OnlyFan's (wait...is that right?) GWS Giants AFL podcast, some Squinters do both, and some Squinters leave Adelaide on State of Origin night to do a pod. There are all those sorts of Squinters - ie; Ragnar Lofbrock, Der Spatz and Needles - on this pod - a...

Never Surrender by the Squinters - the best, also, the only, fan & ChatGPT-produced GWS Giants AFL global podcast. Unauthorised, unfiltered and uninformed since 2019. And for the first time since then, two shows in a row! It's Ragnar - he's brought energy, opinions, and bloodthirsty ruthlessness - if we finish higher than 12th - and if we don't beat North at Hobart soon that will become a stretch...
