www.thesquinters.com Yeah, last week was a pretty terrible week to be involved in a much-loved, fan-made unauthorised, unfiltered and uninformed GWS Giants AFL podcast.

But a brave bunch of Giant heroes - Bubs, Cheese-OH!, Needles the Renaissance Man and Dr Nangs - got together late on Monday night and...

We turn to quantum physics to understand the Giants game style, and salute some great i...

NO.32 - R1120: Sydney Swans @ Telephone Company Stadium 17.08.2020

If you thought last week was deep and meaningful, get a load of this bad boy! A fox, a fan and more than fifty minutes of fun. This is Never Surrender by the Squinters, a GSW Giant AFL podcast and, nearing the end of our second season, we are well and truly in our strides. Yes the game was terrible and what the Giants dished up as they went under the Swans made us vomit collectively, but not wanti...

No.31 - R1020: BOMBERS @ METRICON 09.08.2020

NO.28 - R720: Lions @ the Beanstalk 19.07.2020

No.24 - R220: North Melbourne @ The Beanstalk 14.06.2020

www.thesquinters.com - yeah, we've got a fricken' website. Alex! Completely forgot to get the chaps to answer your killer questions that you sent to us via NEVERSURRENDERPOD@GMAIL.COM.

NO. 23 - R120: Geelong Cats @ The Beanstalk 22.03.2020

Like a parrot on the verandah, footy came, delighted us, and left. We had something to hold onto in this (can I say unprecedented? Such a cliche. I'm gonna say unprecedented) unprecedented moment.

The...

The Squinters Chat-Up...Jamie Cripps 01.03.2020

One day last year, Needles, the Renaissance Man hacked the interweb (or politely emailed West Coast HQ) and inveigled a conversation with Grand Final-winning diabetic hero Jaime Cripps.

A bit of grist for the podcast mill that our heroes...
