Bats and Balls Podcast

Pies, The Producer and Mendy are back to dissect another week of wall to wall sport.

We discuss the latest NRL news and the most puzzling of NSW Origin selections. The Eels beat up the Broncos at Bankwest Stadium, The Storm dismantled the hottest team in the NRL and the Sea Eagles are looking ominous.

In the AFL the second of the bye rounds took place with one lucky tipster picking the round. Richmond once again got run down and gapped after leading at the first term. St Kilda came back from the death against Gold Coast... again. And the Giants outlasted a tough North Melbourne.

Amelia is back to catch up on the FIFA Women's World Cup. The USA machine rolled on with another strong showing against Chile. Can they keep it up against arch-rivals Sweden? The Matildas appear to be coming good. And China and Spain played out a beneficial 0-0 draw.

In the Cricket World Cup could the top 4 already be set? One of the crew certainly thinks so. Perhaps there's still a surprise or two left in the Cup though.

Plus there's Rugby, Supercars and NBA Finals and trades to finish off the show.

Pies and The Producer are back with an action packed episode.

In NRL the Roosters have lost three in a row. Is this just an Origin slump or something more? The Knights are flying high and Mitchell Pearce is staking his claim for an Origin recall. And the Panthers have started winning.

In AFL the Swans surprised most, but not The Producer with a drubbing of the Eagles on Saturday. Adelaide beat GWS in a cracker. And Carlton became the second team to win after dumping their coach. Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh dominating through the middle.

In the FIFA Women's World Cup USA demolished Thailand 13-0. France were comfortable and Australia went down 1-2 to Italy.

The Cricket World Cup has brought the rain to England. In the games that got played, India beat Australia in the blockbuster at The Oval. New Zealand are on top, but who have they played?

Plus we finish off with Rugby, drama at the Canadian Formula 1 and Kevin Durant has blown out his achilles in the NBA Finals.

Pies and BS are back after a week off. No Mendy who is working on being mobile again.

In the NRL the Broncos retained the belt and are on a winning streak. The Roosters are on a losing streak. And the Eels are in freefall. Albeit, still in the 8 for another week.

In the AFL Freo and Brisbane played a cracking game on Sunday evening. The Giants thumped Melbourne and West Coast came from behind in Adelaide.

We have a look at the Cricket World Cup in England. Tip you the Semis, Finals and Winners.

No Swainy this week as he's rubbing shoulders with the powerbrokers in Japan.

Plus BS wraps up the latest in Motorsport including Supercars from Winton and Formula 1 from the famously tight Monaco.

Stay tuned next week for our Womens Football World Cup Preview show with a special guest.

The Producer and Mendy recap all the sports action from the weekend.

Swainy calls in to discuss the latest Rugby news.

Magic Round in the NRL created more questions than answers.

In the AFL the Giants turned in a stinker and the Demons rose from the ashes to jag a win.

Plus there's heaps more. Literally every other sport that happened, Mendy watched.

Brendan is back to make it a twosome. And Pies couldn't be happier.

It's NRL Magic Round all weekend long up at Suncorp Stadium. Can the surface handle 8 straight games? Can Brisvegas handle a city full of NRL fans?

In the AFL and the Cats are still leading the way. While the Swans are running 18th.

In Soccer and what an amazing win to Liverpool in the first Champions League Semi Final. This show was recorded before the heroics of Tottenham. But now it'll be an all England Final in Madrid. In the EPL all eyes will be on Brighton to see if The Producer is right and they get unleashed on Manchester City this week.

Plus there's Rugby and Motorsport chat including night racing from Perth.

Scheduling issues all week meant we almost didn't get a show out. But instead of leaving you hanging for a week. Pies took it upon himself to carry the load one out. The jury is still out as to whether it was a good move or not...

NRL and the Panthers appear to be back to close to their best. A tight loss to Souths isn't terrible form. The Roosters and Storm got wins on Anzac Day. And the Knights outplayed Parramatta in Newcastle.

In the AFL Geelong are alone on top of the ladder with a wall of chasers a game away. Collingwood beat Essendon in a competitive Anzac Day clash, Brisbane won the Q Clash and GWS won the Battle of the Bridge convincingly.

In Soccer and Tottenham and Liverpool are both behind heading into the second leg of the Champions League. While Manchester City are still a point clear at the top of the EPL ladder.

Wedged between two long weekends and The Producer trekking all over the state we managed to record on Wednesday morning.

Lots of NRL discussion including the transparency offered by the Graham Annesley NRL press conferences. The Producer isn't convinced about the refereeing but Pies is very hopeful moving forward. But let's not bury the lead. Parramatta returned home to the new Bankwest Stadium. BS was up the coast but Pies was flying the flag and soaking up the atmosphere of a huge win over the Wests Tigers. #PARRAdise indeed.

In the AFL the Eagles and Giants had disappointing losses at home. Geelong stamped their superiority with a rousing victory over Hawthorn and St Kilda just may be the real deal.

Pies and The Producer in the studio with an appearance from Swainy via satellite.

First up it's NRL where Parra tackled their butts off but dropped enough ball to lose three games. Luckily for Canberra they only needed to win one! Plus the Storm machine rolls on and the Roosters are building.

In the AFL the Giants won at the Cattery for the first time. While the Suns continue to play nailbiters.

Swainy joins us for Rugby. Super Rugby has been fantastic this season. We discuss World Cup players being rested and we dip our toes into the Israel Folau eployee relations wading pool. #SwainyRWC2019 #OlympicSwainy

Plus there's heaps more including soccer, motorsport and basketball.

A big weekend for Pies and The Producer as their teams both got up on Saturday night including a rousing victory by the Eels in their last home game at ANZ Stadium.

Pies is off sick. So the show is carried by BS and Mendy. No Swainy this week so the boys do Rugby on their own. Don't forget #SwainyRWC2019

Plus heaps of other sports including the upcoming Marblelympics!
