Real Men Don't Wear Long Sleeves

In Round 20, it's Brayshaw vs Brayshaw as the Demons and the Dockers slog it out, we catch up on the latest goss, and get progressively drunker.

In Round 15, Swans and Saints play the round's most boring game whilst we are joined by Stat Man and No Points Horse to discuss Nick Blakey's various lizard-like attributes, whether or not Max King is an industry plant, and draw parallels between history's treatment of Hitler with the AFL media's treatment of Bailey Smith.

In Round 13, chaotic good Fremantle and chaotic evil Hawthorn battle it out and we catch up on the last few weeks of goss, cast Travis Colyer in the Lord of the Rings remake, and crack the case on AFL's biggest conspiracy theories.

In Round 8, the Power get redemption over the Bulldogs while we get to know Fake Person Trent Dumont, explore the possibility of a body swap with Caleb Daniel, and uncover the depths of Jeremy Finlayson's emotional repression.

In Round 7, Geelong and Fremantle tough it out as we rekindle our long-lost friendship with James Aish, mount a campaign for Gryan Miers to ditch the dreds, and honour Jamie Lee Curtis as the screen icon of our times.

We're back for Round 6 to watch Melbourne play Richmond, celebrate the legacy of Anzac Day, discuss the quality of Ben Brown's family relationships and hear from some special guests.

In Round 4, the Eagles get the better of the Magpies as we discuss how Boyz II Men are the magic connecting Rose and Darcy Moore, repurpose Shannon Hurn's hairline as the Eagles mascot for 2022, and talk about the actually real issue of tokenism in the AFL.

In Round 3, the Showdown legend lives up to the hype as Crows steal victory in a heartbreaker (for Erin). We discuss the youngest brother inferiority complex plaguing the AFL, stage a defence of Todd Marshall, and attentively watch the game unfold for the first time in several years.

In Round 2, Richmond and GWS play the year's most boring game to date while we tackle Buddy's legend status, the highs and lows of the football wilderness, insights from ABC radio, and produce a spec script for Harry Himmelberg's character arc on Home and Away.

We're back for Season 2022! And straight into it with the Kangaroos and the Hawks battling for good versus evil, ready to discuss our ever-mounting gripes with the AFL media landscape, use our powers of manifestation to create the ultimate end of season ladder predictions and make Jy Simpkin North captain.

It's finally here everyone! Grand Final Week 2021, and we celebrate with predictions, trivia, and special guests galore. Thanks for joining us for season 2021 Real Men, it's an honour to bring you the most up to date footy news each week.

It's the final hurdle and Melbourne shame Geelong to take their rightful place in the Grand Final. We talk Jack Viney and Ollie Wines' place amongst the greatest love stories ever told, the last days of Rome in Geelong, and Max Gawn's ten minutes of transcendence.

Semi finals week and boy does it deliver! The second episode in a row to deliver a one point margin, the Western Bulldogs and Brisbane Lions give us an all time great while we celebrate Father's Day with everyone's honorary dad Chris Fagan, answer burning fan questions, and blow the whistle on the AFL's secret society of Baileys.

The real men (and their sound quality problems) are back for a bumper finals series! In an elimination final as tense as they come, we watch the AFL's favourite narrative fall apart, uncover the lost post-hitting stats, and reflect on just how much can change in one season.

In Round 9, the Swans overrun the Magpies while we discuss the simple joys of collecting footy cards, cast Josh Kennedy in his motion picture debut, and the ethics of strategic sportsmanship.

In Round 7, it's first against eighteenth with the Kangaroos facing the Demons in Tassie, while Erin faces her own hangover demons, Ben Brown makes his long awaited return, and we relive the plot of Like Mike (2002) through our protagonist Bayley Fritsch.

In Round 6, Collingwood and Essendon honour the Anzacs while we discuss Will Hoskin-Elliott's determination to make an enemy of Rose, Nik Cox's homage to underage soldiers who frauded their way into the army, and how many Darcys is too many Darcys.

In Round 5, fan favourites Port and Carlton go at it while we discuss how many of our days on Earth have been memorable, the evidence-based use of reverse psychology as a game strategy, and pay our respects to Port Adelaide's fallen soldiers.

In Round 4, Melbourne and Geelong get their long sleeves out while we talk Tom Hawkins' likeness to a mutinous 1920s sailor, which footballers could most easily transition to a life on the silver screen, and debrief on the season so far.

In Round 2, the Swans battle the Crows and we battle ongoing technical difficulties, all while Erin and Rose discuss the spiritual importance of Buddy Franklin on a young girl's development, unpack the psychology of school bullies, and determine Isaac Heeney's readiness to don an SS uniform in a re-enactment of Nazi Germany.

In Round 1, Bulldogs get up against the Magpies and we discuss marketing opportunities for Aaron Naughton and his mullet, eulogise Scott Pendlebury's football career, and ponder which beast of the African plains would be Darcy Moore's spirit animal.

We're back with our predictions for the 2021 season, based of course purely in fact, science, and peer-reviewed journals.

In Round 16, we're back after a long hiatus to watch the Bulldogs and the Eagles tussle for victory and stop pretending to be interested in talking about anything else except Marcus Bontempelli and the life he could give us.

In Round 7, Robbie Gray steals a heart-stopping victory for Port against Carlton, as we reveal our official Top Five Players list, lose our grip on reality at the very sight of Patrick Cripps, and uncover the secret conspiracy amongst players wearing the number 9.

After a bye, in Round 6 we watch Essendon beat North Melbourne while stalking various players on instagram, discussing the level of personal sacrifice we should expect from our professional sportspeople, and mourn the Jasper Pittard we once knew,
