Northern Exposure

The Gold Coast Suns have hit the bye 6-6 and despite having seen this movie before we BELIEVE that this time it will end differently and we'll tell you why. The Brisbane Lions begin the second part of their season with an all important test at the MCG against Hawthorn this weekend and we analyse their run-home and who are the potential dangers come September. PLUS all the pros and cons of an A...

It's that time of year again, as the nation's focus shifts to Queensland vs. New South Wales, our focus combines those two states and adds Tasmania and the Northern Territory to mix and rebuilds the once mighty Allies - the French Foreign Legion of representative footy sides. Who will make the cut? Who will hold their spot? Nick and Jack put on their selectors hats and make the big calls a...

Another studio move! The Dutton Park Studios have been inundated so we're on the move again to review all the action coming out of last Saturday night's Q Clash. The Lions proved why they are a class above the Gold Coast Suns but at least there was a fight and we're 100% here for it. We reflect on the career of outgoing Richmond coach Damian Hardwick and posit whether he could land at...

It's finally here! QClash XV...something is only four days away and finally the Suns look like a worth foe as they travel up the M1. The Lions are coming off a very complete second half performance against Essendon meanwhile the Suns recorded their greatest ever win away from Queensland. Nick and Jack bring you everything you need to know from the brand new Dutton Park studios. You can almost...

So enthralled by Gath..er, Magic Round, Jack has rocked up in a Broncos jersey but perhaps he's not yet fully infected. The Suns have won the hearts of the competition but not the four points that were on offer much to Nick's chagrin meanwhile the Lions keep going from strength-to-strength.

Another Queen-sweep as the Lions and Suns go back-to-back - You wouldn't hear about of course, apparently the Tigers just lost. Sucked in. The Gold Coast are starting to build some momentum and now have a plan for the Demons on Saturday. Nick and Jack celebrate the career of outgoing AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan and what he has done for the state of Queensland and discuss whether Eddie McGuire&#39...

It was the first Queensland double of the 2023 season with both Suns and Lions getting the W on the weekend. The Lions cementing their credentials in the AFL Top 8 whereas the Suns relieved a lot of pressure. Touk Miller's injury will leave a hole in the midfield, who will step up and fill it? The Suns face a gettable Richmond at Marvel Stadium while the Lions will be licking their lips at the...

As per AFL direction, the first ten minutes of Too Early Team List Thursday will be dedicated to Gather Round where elephant in the room needs to be addressed. The Lions face the Giants in Canberra and a man/rat celebrating his 100th game will certainly be rocking the long sleeves. A classic Northern Exposure tangent has us reflecting on the greatest forgotten clutch plays and a membership will be...

Only one Queensland side came out of the AFL'S inaugural Gather Round and we'll give you a hint, it wasn't the Gold Coast Suns. The Lions tall forwards shone in the Adelaide Hills whilst the Suns' third-ever Friday slot ended in an all-too familiar loss. Nick and Jack pour over the coals of AFL's latest innovations and reflect on the legacy of the people's CEO, Gillon McLac...

TEAMLIST THURSDAY* - Nick and Jack may not actually have teams for this weekend's Gather Round clashes but we can educate a guess at how the Gold Coast Suns will line up against Fremantle at the fabled Norwood Oval - Possibly the biggest game ever between these two sides. Meanwhile we dissect how the Lions can make their presence felt in the competition from Mount Barker Oval in the Adelaide H...

MONDAY REVIEW: It's Groundhog Day for Nick and Jack as the Brisbane Lions set the tone for Round Four while the Gold Coast Suns take two steps back after a giant step forward. After Round Four of the 2023 AFL season the Gold Coast Suns are 1-3 and an inaugural finals berth is looking further away than last year. Meanwhile the Brisbane Lions showed the competition how to handle Collingwood. As...

TEAMLIST THURSDAY | It's Easter Thursday and Brisbane actually feels like a footy city - More of it! Today Nick & Jack discuss the implications of the Lions discussion to drop Darcy Fort for tonight's clash against Collingwood. We investigate if there's an unnecessary amount of pressure on Joe Daniher and Eric Hipwood. The boys go off on a tangent as 'Gather Round' looms an...

UP THE SUNS! It wasn't the win we expected but the Gold Coast Suns's season is finally underway, knocking off the last year's premiers in the breakout out game of Jack 'Supercalifragilisticexpiali' Lukosius. Nick and Jack investigate what the Suns need to do next to ensure this isn't another false dawn before they face St. Kilda. Meanwhile the Brisbane Lions loss to the Bul...

Thursday night footy is back and Nick and Jack would like to see it become a permanent fixture. The Lions looked prime to take down a wounded Bulldogs wit everything to play for whilst the Suns are in similar position, desperately seeking their first W of the season. Fox Footy will cop a drive-by for their scheduling and we celebrate a great of the Suns...if only one of us could remember his name

A deep dive into who cut the power at the Gabba on Friday night, is it ACTUALLY a good idea to re-build the Gabba (as much as we want it), what changed within the Lions camp and why we hate hearing the B-word thrown around at the Suns.

Teams have dropped for Round 2!

Oh boy! What a time to fire up a Queensland footy podcast....geez. A disappointing start to season 2023 for both the Lions and the Suns, copping big Round 1 losses. Jack's not impressed about part of Brisbane's pre-game and as the Battle of Brisbane looms, where do the we land in the cross-code war? Plus Nick's spotted something in the MCG crowd that was sensational throwback to the ea...

Footy's back in the Sunshine State as Round 1 of the 2023 season is about to get under way and two of trio are back this year to bring you an all new Northern Exposure. We'll explain exactly how the Suns make finals in 2023, put the AFL under the microscope for some lazy SEQ fixturing and narrow in on the one key issue in the Lions perfect summer.
