The Falcon: A Footy Podcast

This week, we are joined by two fantastic guests/daddies, Thomas Zahariou (The Footy With Broden Kelly) and Broderick Gordes (Hunting Seasons), to discuss what it's like to share their love of football with their kids and perhaps pass along some words of wisdom to a certain dad-to-be! We also get into an incredible round of AFL, including the rise of the Doggies, the wobbles of the Swans, and what...

The Paris Olympics are just around the corner and there is only one way to improve them: add a bunch of AFL players into different events! Join us and our special guest, Cassie Daly, as we pick the athletes who will represent the great AFL nation, choke down more Yowies, enjoy the Jack Ginnivan show and wonder WTF happened to Essendon. @falconfootypod

It's been a tumultuous week to be an AFL coach, so it's about time we throw our hats into the ring! Join us as we decide what sort of coaches we would be, tell Brad Scott to download a weather app, learn more about Chris' eating habits, miss our shot, and host our new cooking show. @falconfootypod

This week, Jesse loses touch with the common man and gets fancy in the President Club, Chris spares no expense, and Clarky shares his love for Jacob van Rooyen - we also review the big footy news from the weekend, love David Rodan, crack open some Yowies, and drop a cheeky few swears.  @falconfootypod

This week, we are joined by Supercoach specialist and Prince of the West, DamoSC, to discuss fantasy football's relation to AFL fandom and how it can enhance the game's overall enjoyment. We also go through what was a pretty dull weekend of football, find out why old people are in the Foxtel room, get Dockery and hear from our UK counterparts @falconfootypod

Pop on your rented tux and grab a Heineken from the bar; yes, that's right, it's that time of the year (the middle), and we are here to celebrate all of the moments, players and personalities that have made the first half of season 2024 so special to us in the Falcon Mid-Year Awards show! Join us 'live' from the Epping RSL as we hand out many awards, including the best short player, best gadget-ty...

Four All-Australian blazers, three premierships, three Norm Smith medals, three Gary Ayres medals, two best-and-fairest awards, a Brownlow Medal, 300-games and now one episode of The Falcon dedicated almost entirely to him - Dustin Martin has done it all! This week, we are joined by our good mate Brod to talk #Dusty300, the unlucky Roos, party with Amartey and spend some time in the kitchen. 

This week, the wonderful Cassie Daly joins us to overhaul Grand Final entertainment completely, from working out what made past musical acts work (or not) to tapping into Auskick's untapped potential. We also discuss all of our teams losing, the Big Freeze, genital-based surnames, and getting the gramophone out of the attic. This episode is particularly cooked. @falconfootypod

This week, we are joined by the Football Daddy himself, the incredible Thomas Zahariou (The Footy With Broden Kelly), to discuss cookies and what the Tassie Devils can learn from the first few years of the Gold Coast Suns. We also mourn for the Melbourne Demons, examine the crimes of Harley Reid, agree to disagree on some umpiring, and go on a little D&D quest. @falconfootypod

Chris and Clarky are out with illness, so Jesse has the keys to the asylum this week, and he has invited his good friend Lawn Gibbs along for a fun time! Join us while we discuss what makes a player a 'Good Egg', draws, contentious 50m calls, Leek Aleer being the best, Brisbane being bad and Garfield. @falconfootypod

When it comes to injury prevention, transhumanism, player welfare and revolutionising our great game, you know the three chucklef***s at The Falcon are primed to help! This week, we solve the issue of player injuries, discuss a week of upsets, invoke Pauly Shore and commune with the spirits.  @falconfootypod

With this year's top recruits having gained some game experience, we've brought in the seasoned football nerd, Lekdog, to provide his expert insights on their seasons so far. We also delve into the world of washed-up Australian comedians, Matt Guelfi being a top bloke, catching players in giant nets and Bluey. @falconfootypod

Class is in session, newbies! This week, we are joined by our dear friend, Joel McDonald (Dialogue Options), to help him on his journey of becoming an AFL nuffie. We also discuss the super tough games from the last round, the Bevo situation, the nexus between footy and video games and take a trip to Pandora. @falconfootypod

Tune in this week to hear us do our best interpretation of the Friday Night commentary team as we go off-script, get players' names wrong and talk about things not even remotely connected to AFL. We also discuss the big games and bigger marks of the last round, work out how tall Peter Wright is compared to Mewtwo, go to Columbia, and realise how boring we are @falconfootypod

Do good guys deserve special treatment? Should there be a bad guy tax? Have we found a loophole to make all players un-suspendable? This week, we dive into the Charlie Cameron MRO mess, bow at the feet of Harley Reid, defend the Draper dive, and Jesse wrote some limericks. @falconfootypod

It's a tumultuous time down at The Kennel, so this week we have put Chris on trial to answer for Bevo's sins. We also dive into some thrilling games from over the weekend, skip over a few dud ones, learn about accuracy, and speak to the king of acting. @falconfootypod

Bevo has pulled the surprise sub this week and put Chris on the pine, but never fear; Brod is on with some fresh legs! This week, we discuss Adelaide's splendour during Gather Round, the problems with a figure-8-shaped playing field, contentious umpiring calls, and getting sponsored by everyone's favourite streaming platform. @falconfootypod

The big fella from Kardinia Park, Tom Hawkins, celebrated his 350th game on the weekend, so we have brought on his biggest fan, the wonderful Em Challis, to discuss his absolutely sublime career. We also dive into some thrilling games, wash our cars and play a round of Hawkins, Hawkins, Hawkins and Hawk-Ins @falconfootypod

It's been a controversial week of football, with head-high bumps and players going miles out of bounds, but never fear—we are here to fix it! Join us as we dissect the big Round 2 news, work out who's related to whom and record from 40,000ft in the air @falconfootypod

Not even technical issues can stop us from talking about the AFL's newest lovechild, the Tasmanian Devils! This week, we discuss the newly revealed Tassie Devils guernsey and logo, wrap up the big round 2 news from nailbiters to demolition jobs, play a round of Be Gentle, It's My First Time, and roll through some very sensual sponsored content @falconfootypod

They said the 2024 AFL season would start with not a bang but a whimper. The footy is back, and while we weren't rapt with the structure of Opening Round, we are pumped to talk about an incredible comeback, the rising Suns, share our ladder predictions and play the first-ever game of AnimAFL! @falconfootypod

Folks, we have made it! On the last of the team-focused episodes, Jesse and Chris (Clarky is at Eurovision) sit down to discuss a team that divides their friendship, the Western Bulldogs, from Grand Final heroics and the link between family and football to Rory Lobb's Robocop-style head and the dangers of vapour lock.  Part of the Story Mode Podcast Network @falconfootypod

We may be one member short this week, but never fear; Chris and Jesse are here to dive into a team that has undoubtedly faced some trials in recent years, the West Coast Eagles, from unforgettable finals wins and champion ruckmen to misleading headlines and Oscar Isaac.  Part of the Story Mode Podcast Network @falconfootypod

This week, we are joined by one of the kings of AFL podcasting and one-eyed Sydney Supporter, Deebs from the True Bloods podcast, to discuss the mighty Swannies, from some of the all-time greatest finals moments and off-field legends to jawbone jewellery and the greatest AFL club song Part of the Story Mode Podcast Network @falconfootypod

No Saints supporters? No problem! This week, the three of us get into the proud history of the St Kilda football club, from some of the most iconic and influential on-field moments in AFL history and the pursuit for that elusive next flag to Eric Bana's film career and X-Men's Juggernaut.
