4.25: "So you're saying there's a chance..." ft. Ahmed Saad 18.08.2022

What? We're still a chance to play AFL Finals in 2022? Well, mathematically. But not really. We take a look at another disappointing result and look ahead to what should be our final game of the year, plus a Rising Star nomination for Marcus Windhager, Max King's goalkicking woes, Dan Hannebery and just... where to from here? We're also joined by 33-game Saint and long run-up goalkicker, Ahmed Saa...

4.24: "As simple as it is..." ft. Nathan Freeman 10.08.2022

A disappointing loss to Geelong as many would have expected down at the Cattery. The gulf in class was evident as the Cats were simply better for longer. Somehow St Kilda's season is still alive and we have another shot to fight for a Finals spot this week at home against the Lions. Our guest this week is Nathan Freeman, himself no stranger to fighting through adversity, as he dealt with injury af...

4.23: "Why not?" ft. Paul Callery 05.08.2022

It was a must-win game and win they did. The Saints have responded with two in a row and sit in the top eight with just weeks to go in the home & away season. Ahead of an incredibly tough game down in Geelong, we catch up with former rover - the original star #35 - Paul Callery.

4.22: "Staying alive..." ft. Darren Minchington 27.07.2022

It wasn't pretty but they got the job done. The Saints' finals hopes are still alive after a hard-fought win over the Eagles in Perth. We're joined this week by a fan favourite who only played 28-games for the Saints across seven years. Darren Minchington's St Kilda career was plagued by injury, but managed to find a place amongst the hearts of Saints fans across the country. Catch all our video i...

4.21: "That ain't #&$%ing good enough..." ft. Tim Gossage 22.07.2022

It was every bit as bad as any other loss this year, but somehow, the St Kilda Football Club is STILL in the AFL Finals race, so we back up and go again, because... y'know, that's what we do. This week we're joined by a man who's been in the media spotlight for three decades, but there's been lots of conjecture about what team he actually supports. Veteran Perth commentator Tim Gossage answers tha...

4.20: "Elimination Final" ft. Dee Dee Dunleavy 13.07.2022

Crunch-time arrives again, soon after the last crunch-time as the Saints gear up for a season-defining clash with the Bulldogs. Special guest co-host Michael Egan ( @Michael_60 ) subbed in for Nick who's away and the boys reviewed the second-half fadeout against the Dockers and what the Saints' run home looks like. Die-hard Saint - the Queen of Melbourne radio - Dee Dee Dunleavy joins us to discus...

4.19: "Up for the fight" ft. Robert Elphinstone 07.07.2022

Plus we're joined by 80's stalwart Robert Elphinstone to talk though his 157-game St Kilda Football Club career in a period of really dark times for the club.

4.17: "What do we stand for?" ft. Andrew Plympton 24.06.2022

Catch all our video interviews on the  Unpluggered YouTube and make sure to follow Unpluggered on  Twitter ,  Facebook , and  Ins...

Spud's Game: "Danny Frawley's legacy" ft. 'Richo' and 'Spida' 16.06.2022

4.15: "Ready for Battle" ft. Daniel Wulf 15.06.2022

It wasn't all doom and gloom as the Saints dropped one in Brisbane to the Lions. There were plenty of positives to take as we battled manfully with personnel issues throughout he second half.

4.12: "What good teams do..." ft. Francis Leach [ Celebrity Fan Episode ] 27.05.2022

It wasn't pretty but the Saints did what good teams do, winning a game away from home against a lower-ranked, more desperate side. We take a look at the victory in Adelaide, with an eye towards another danger game against the crisis-hit Kangaroos. Plus, we're joined by fanatical St Kilda supporter - former broadcaster, career journalist, commentator, political advisor and music afficianado - FRANC...

4.10: "Time to stand up..." ft. Darryl Wakelin 13.05.2022

One way or another, a loss to the benchmark team shows us where we're really at. But, we'd still rather catch up again after a victory.

Just like in Judge Dredd, we saw it coming. Kick 4.18 and it's going to be extremely tough to win games of football. We discuss the horrific conditions in Cairns, and look forward to a Mother's Day game against the benchmark of the competition at the home of football. Plus, we're joined by maybe the unluckiest player to ever don the red, white and black, former Chairman and CEO of the VFL/AFL, Ros...

4.8: "We could get used to this..." ft. Alicia Loxley [ Celebrity Fan Episode ] 28.04.2022

4.7: "Competition for spots" ft. Brett Bowey 20.04.2022

Four in a row! The St Kilda Football Club produced a workmanlike effort in a methodical victory over the Gold Coast Suns to sit in the AFL's Top-4 after the opening five rounds. Competition for spots in the Saints lineup is stronger than it has been for a decade or more. We take a look at the upcoming primetime clash with the GWS Giants in Canberra, and the boys are joined by dad-of-a-gun - himsel...

4.6: Four quarters & Ivy's Boy! ft. Brett Moyle 13.04.2022

Ca...

4.5: "The Tiger King" ft. Allan Davis 08.04.2022

It was Max King who once again tore the game apart with a 20 minute burst of withering offensive football, but he wasn't alone as Jack Sinclair, Brad Crouch, Jack Steele and others all stood up in the second half against Richmond in 'Maddie's Match'. Plus we speak to 1966 Premiership player, St Kilda FC club leading goalkicker, interim coach and even Saints' father, Allan Davis, about his Saints c...

4.4: "Battle Worthy" ft. Ross Smith 01.04.2022

A complete performance from Josh Battle in defence, and a day out for King and Higgins ended in a valuable victory out West for the St Kilda Football Club.

4.3: "You can't live here if you're not a St Kilda supporter..." ft. Hon. Philip Dalidakis 25.03.2022

An uninspiring season opener for the St Kilda Football Club in AFL 2022... but are there reasons for that? A little bit of a different shape to the podcast as we're joined by former politician, Victorian powerbroker and tragic Saints fan, the Honourable Philip Dalidakis, to discuss Round 1, and what comes next. 02:00 - Round 1 - Collingwood Recap 52:00 - Who is Philip Dalidakis? 01:14:00 - St Kild...
