It's our last episode for 2024, and we have assembled the full squad! This week, we discuss what players do in their off-season and how that may affect relationships, Jesse forgets that Petracca is Italian, Cassie starts a new love for manga, Clarky hosts a spelling bee, and Chris reboots.
Thanks for listening; we will see you next year!

In what has been Cassie's plan from day one of joining the podcast, this week we discuss reality shows with Anna and explore all the times that footy players have leapt to the silver screen, from Big Brother to Survivor. We also throw around our ideas for an AFL-centric reality show, with most of them going very Lord of the Flies very quickly

Remember those AFL calendars that kept What's New? in business for years? We want to bring them into modern times and bring Anna in to help us create the ultimate 2025 Falcon Calendar, from Bailey's abs and BT's moon to the summation of Pi and Sam Switkowski in Monsters Inc.

Oh god, they're back! This week, Patch and Lek join us to discuss the mess that is the current AFL draft system. We also give Chris the stage to defend the father/son rule, Jesse's brain breaks trying to understand the point system, Patch becomes a sleep-deprived dictator, and we learn the origins of Lek's pie from episode 60.

Look, we don't know what to say about this episode. Lek and Patch join us to discuss the best ways to deal with your team losing; well, that was the plan - instead, we learn about Lek's obsession with spreadsheets, Patch takes control of hosting duties, Chris considers going bald, and Jesse lets go of the steering wheel - it's a good one!

We have been discussing media coverage a lot lately, but let's face it, we have no f&%#ing clue what we are on about - so we have brought on someone who does! You may know Deano Thomas from his time on Nova 100 or Browny's Podcast, his hit podcast with Jono Brown and Campbell Brown - but this week, he is slumming it with us fools to discuss the rise of the footy podcast.

In 2024, you'd assume that watching AFL on TV would be easy, right? Right?! Well, we know that broadcasting needs a full review, and that's why this week, we are running a magnifying glass over the current broadcasting landscape, from the questionable quality of Kayo and great radio commentary to Before The Game and the 1995 romantic-comedy Now And Then.

Chris is the pilot seat this week, and he's taking us into the stratosphere to discuss the most bodacious teams of 2024: the Doggies, Lions, Giants, Cats, Port Adelaide, and Sydney. We also break down some extremely disappointing behaviour from players and fans, explain the concept of Who's Line Is It Anyway?, and look at the definitions of several words.

Cassie has hopped into the hosting seat this week to take us through our reviews of the awkward middle teams: St Kilda, Essendon, Freo, Pies, Blues, and the Hawks. We also make Chris drink some very suspicious fluids, discuss how much organisation goes into attending a Harry Styles show, and make multiple trade corrections.

This week, we are joined by a man who bleeds yellow and black (he's very sick), Broderick Gordes, to begin our 2024 team reviews, starting at the bottom with Richmond, Kangaroos, West Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Gold Coast. We also review outdated trade news, work out how many Cherry Ripes tall Tristan Xerri, and hear what Murray the Dog has to say regarding AFL matters.

The Brisbane Lions are our champions of 2024, so we have once again had Brissy-superfan Lawn join us to boast about her well-deserved success and everything that made Grand Final day so special, from Katy's goon bags and O-Mac's smile to Ashcroft's dominance and the mystery surrounding Joe's future. We also start getting into some ridculous trade rumours, sing more than usual and get hot-and-heavy for Bailey Smith.

We are at the pointy end of the season now, and there is only one game on everyone's mind, so this week we are joined by a real-life Brissy fan, Lawn Gibbs, to discuss the lead-up to the big day. We also get into Geelong's valiant effort, Ken Hinkley's coaching record, what sausages are best to eat during the footy and say nothing about the Brownlow result because we were recording while it was happening (oops)
@falconfootypod
-
With the finals almost over, we ask if the current finals format is the best system possible, or can we take lessons from other sporting leagues (and Star Wars) to improve it? We also delve into Oreo-flavoured soft drinks, Hinkley's brain fade, the might of an accurate Joe Daniher, and what it means for the two teams that dropped out over the weekend.

While the best-of-the-best now have their shiny new All-Australian blazers, this week, we want to celebrate those who didn't quite make the cut by inducting them into our Almost-All-Australian team! We also crash head-first into a big week one of the finals, discussing the dominance of the Catters, the greatness of Heeney, the magic of The Wizard, and whatever the hell Carlton served up.

Have you ever wondered which AFL mascot a multi-award-winning journalist would eat if stuck on an island with them? Cos, that is precisely what we ask our excellent guest Patch this week! To celebrate our 50th episode, we kick our feet up and go through all the big questions you've wanted us to answer, contemplate cannibalism, appreciate art, get blown off Windy Hill, and Chris makes a BIG CALL about Rory 'AAA' Lobb.

Our sweet baby boy Chris is back from his international adventures and jumped right back into things this week to discuss some of the legends (and not-so-legends) who are hanging up their boots this year. We also get into the games with too much electricity, the games with not enough electricity, Jack Higgins, and one of the most dramatic days of footy in recent memory

This week, we are once again joined by our rival (not really) Cassie Daly to discuss the great rivalries in the AFL, from the traditional hatred between neighbouring clubs to some of the more modern match-ups. We also dive into #Teethgate, discuss the merit of a send-off rule, pray for Fremantle and rely on technology.

Chris has been banished to a faraway land, so this week, we are joined by our good friend Cassie Daly to take a step into the past and consider what elements of retro-AFL we want to make a return and what should stay in the grave. We also wrap up the Olympics, laugh at Fly vs Horse, refuse to accept some match results, and compete in an academic decathlon.

In this episode, Jesse sits down with his good friend Keelan (in the past) to discuss what it's like to go to the footy for the first time- while in the present, we are joined by Joel McDonald to discuss #Pendles400, the Sydney thrashing, AFL businesses and Shrek?

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 whatever the f&$k Essendon is doing.
