1989 Part 2

Here is part 2 of our look at the 1989 VFL Football season (there will also be a part 3 soon). We take a look at the 5 finalists here, and get stuck into the bombers resurgence, the Cats with some absolutely massive wins, and the Hawks machine just keeps on rolling. We also talk about the Brownlow and retrospective Brownlows awarded in 89.

1989 Part 1

We have arrived at the final season of VFL football, a season of football etched in the annals of history. To celebrate, here is part 1/3 of our take on the season. So we talk about the bottom 8 teams, and get into The Bears' coaching scramble, the terrible weather, Plugger's dominant first half of the year, Carlton's 125th year as a disaster, and Greg Williams' dominance (when not suspended).

1988 Part 2

Here we are with the second part of the 1988 season (sorry for the delay). We'll dive into the top 5 before really discussing the finals. We learned about a controversial preliminary final we had never known about and we discuss the dominance of Hawthorn, a vintage Dermie year... in what was an incredibly dominant season. All this and more in the episode.

We have had quite the issue with our software as of late, and this was our second take recording this. It is quite frustrating at times, so many apologies for that. The issue will be fixed for the 89 season.

1988 Part 1

In the first part of our focus on the 1988 VFL season, we get back to our roots and discuss the teams that finished the season 14th-6th. This includes rule changes, Tony Lockett throwing crutches, the rain in Queensland, KB now coaching the Tigers, Ablett kicking bags for the Cats, and the Swans putting bets on themselves. All this and more in our welcome return to form.

Also many apologies for the clipping at the beggining and start of the episode.

2024 Finals week 3

Another week of fantastic finals, and here we are with a rather shorter episode to chat about the prelims, Sydney ending their streak against the Power and finally breaking through for a win. We discussed the MCG on Saturday night—what a crowd and what a game! The Lions made a comeback once again. What does the grand final look like? What history are we looking forward to? And who will win the Brownlow? Also, to build toward the 2024 grand final, we've included the grand final interview we did with the 1899 captain in a very old episode. Finally, please excuse Tim's husky voice.

2024 Finals Week 2 Review

Last week we poo-pooed the semi final week as the least interesting, and boy were we wrong! This weekend's game were amazing! The young Port team had a nice link to the 1961 Hawks team. History was on Port's side this week, but probably won't be next week. While the Lions had the third biggest comeback of all time in a final. Finally, we look ahead to Preliminary week and make some bold predictions. All that and more on this week's episode.
