Way Out On The Wing

We’re back for Season 3! Wildus & Worm reflect on the summer past, what they’ve loved & hated about the off-season, they answer some burning questions around season 2023 and hit it straight off with a big query - IS THE BUMP DEAD!?

🏆 Grand finals galore to cover off from the SFL, NTFA and NWFL, a sneak peak inside the TSL Grand Final camps as we speak with Kingborough coach Trent Baumeler and Launceston Midfield dynamo Fletcher Seymour. Derek delivers a delayed deep-dive via dial-up, and we say farewell to Season 2022 in our last regular Wing episode 👋

An absolutely MASSIVE week of Grand Finals, so big in fact we’ve had we’ve had to split the episode into two parts! In this PART 2; - We lodge a Missing Persons Report for Derek - Touch base with NTFA Grand Finalists Josh Frankcombe, Skipper of Longford, & Rocherlea coach Josh Ponting ahead of Saturdays huge matchup - Check in with NWFL Grand Final coaches Beau Sharman of Wynyard & Kurt Byard of D...

In this PART 1; -  We light up the live stream with our overdressed and under impressive NTFA B&F performance  - Unpick just where we’re at with our AFL licence bid - Chat with SFL Grand Final Coaches Michael Cassidy of Lindisfarne and Thor Boscott from Cygnet All that and some half-...

A literal smorgasbord of offerings this week as we go full throttle into finals season! ~ Wing Media saturates the airwaves and inter webs across the entire weekend 🎧 ~ We’re joined by a host of Grand Final participants from the Old Scholars, NTFA Div 1 and King Island teams 🤹🏻‍♂️ ~ Derek goes awol and tacks onto someone’s Mad Monday - have you seen him? 🤡 ~ And Worm lays it all on the line wi...

It’s Finals time across the state, & on the back of us suiting up and umpiring our first game (and we’ll dissect our performance), this week we launch an absolutely massive episode including: ~ speaking with upcoming Grand Final Coaches and players from the ODFA and SFLW 🗣🏆 ~ Derek asks is the Sledge dead? 🧐🤬 ~ Controversy Corner heats up as the boys go head to head around white line fever 🤡🤔...

The stench of finals is in the air 👃 Comms go into hyperdrive around our finals venues discussion 🏟 Our Tassie AFL bid leaps forward in its attempt to get us a side in the big league 💪 Derek asks - Is the bump dead? 🙅‍♂️  And Wing Media launches to huge fanfare 🎭

Wildus & Worm pull a stool up to the bar and pour a few beers as they cover off on all the news, scores and highlights of another week of local Tassie footy. Dereks’ Deepdive looks at the 16 week de-registration number, and whether its still applicable in the modern game. The boys debate passionately the merits of hosting a home final vs the best available grounds in Controversy Corner. And a brea...

It’s road trip time as we head into the midlands for a taste of the ODFA action, we talk shop with AFL Tas Northern Regional manager Aaron “Peach” Roberts about some exciting developments in local footy, Derek future proofs footy in his own segment, and plenty of constructive feedback thrown our way in the communications. Scores, highlights, news aplenty for another entertaining take on Local Tass...

This week the boys reflect on their weekend antics - Worm at a 40th/Wildus in Melbourne, discuss the hugely topical high tackle rule in Dereks Deepdive, they get antsy in Controversy Corner following a coaching faux pas, as well as sifting through a tonne of communications, footy news and highlights (exclusive to Worms Triabunna football attire 😬)

Despite a round of games across the state that were uninspiring, we lift the lid on a teams’ pre-finals routine, discuss the Best Beer Occasions in football, an overwhelming response to having Nick Kyrgios in your side, and if it’s appropriate for a middle-aged man to order a mission passion fruit seltzer at a packed local footy club bar on a Saturday afternoon. 

An absolutely HUGE episode covering all the news from the local leagues including speaking with centurion goal kicker Rohan Baldock from South Burnie, we touch on a hypothetical Wildus V Worm on-ground matchup, and we’ll introduce Controversy Corner and if you’d welcome Nick Kyrgios into your footy team? 🥊

Worm misses the start of the show so we get a far more qualified co-host to sit in, we’ll discuss the proposed salary cap policy for all leagues, Dereks’ deep dive looks into a scenario none of us want to consider - that we don’t secure a AFL licence, and we’ll send out the SOS for one of our favourites - an AWOL Dirt Burbury

A huge week in local footy news sees Wildus & Worm elbows deep in content, we deepdive into whether or not the AFL has lost touch with its fan base, we speak with Oatlands FC coach Greg Dare & we’re now taking song requests much to Worms disdain.

The disappearance of some goal umpiring flags causes the boys to dramatise events a little, we ride the Rosebery-Toorak train hard after back-to-back wins, there’s a terrific hypothetical involving Jordan De Goey in Dereks Deepdive,  and Wildus has a mid winter surprise in store for Worm. 

A polar blast hits the state, and fortunately only a few games were forecast due to a huge representative football  quota of games, including a huge matchup on King Island with a local side vs the travelling Flatheads - and we speak with a founding member. Dereks’ sister Daisy delivers a deepdive around an AFLW Tas team, and firepits prove very popular on the socials.

Given the weather Firepits at local footy are certainly back and burning, Worm returns from vigorous exercise up North, Wildus offers an apology to the Wing family and Derek gets stuck into the younger cohort of players in his epic Deepdive segment.

This week we’ll dive headlong into election coverage (or maybe not), huge communications coming through, Wildus does a hammy kicking with the kids & Derek ponders a Tassie AFL question that casts shade on our AFL licence bid. Bloody Derek - such a naysayer!!

We’ll touch on the BelieveTasmanian.com.au public push, Communications go nuts on the socials, a Deepdive into a revived TSL model, some legendary Huon Valley community helpers & Worms’ first go at baking is tested 🍞

Wildus implements a new recording process that’ll save days editing 😅, Derek’s Deepdive looks at how TV is killing local footy, we chat with a local umpire “Big Trev” and dissect one of the biggest social media highlights we’ve ever seen.

Worm conducts covert Wing business in Melbourne, we’ll touch on scores and performances from across the state, and dissect what the Jack Jumpers have achieved and what it means for and AFL team in Tassie.

After an enforced holiday break, the boys cover off on 2 weeks of local footy, how many chocolate eggs each of them had to work off through umpiring duties, and we descend into Dereks Deepdive deeper than ever before as we seek clarity on the umpire dissent rule.

Fresh off the back of huge tech issues, we’ll jump around the ship worse than Worm attempting a hard-ball-get, as we seek out Easter footy, determine where short shorts disappeared to, and chat to a man that once kept the great Peter Hudson goalless!

SEASON 2 - We’re back baby! The prodigal football sons of Tasmania return for their first episode of season 2022.

Recorded in front of a covid safe live audience, we present our WING AWARDS for Season 2021, cast our eye forward and predicts what will happen in 2022, PLAYER OF THE YEAR is announced and the starting lineups for the WING ALLSTARS is released. Did you make it!? The most overrated yet gripping episode of the year.
