August 11, 2025 Round 22 Breakdown: Dawson, Jezza Chat & Gulden
Round 22 had a bit of everything. We unpack Jezza’s goal blitz why Newcombe & the Hawks mids made life tough for Collingwood. We talk rising stars, match-winning moments, and a couple of shock outcomes that could haunt clubs come September. From Gulden and Heeney’s Swans masterclass to Freo’s fourth straight comeback win, we cover the lot, plus why my man Dawson might just be your 2025 Brownlow and AA skipper.

Enjoy the ep, share it with a mate.

July 28, 2025 Round 20 Breakdown Feat. Josh Gabelich
Round 20. One burning question per game.

AFL.com.au & SEN's Josh Gabelich joins me for a no-nonsense breakdown of Round 20. From flag smokies (not Essendon unfortunately) to finals doubts (few teams in this category still), Harley Reid hypotheticals to list strategy chaos, and the man of the round - no not Nick Daicos with his highest rated game ever, no not Jeremy Cameron with 11 snags over the Roos but Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera.

Whether you're sold on the Hawks or wondering how the Crows became the team to beat... this episode has a bit of everything. As always, enjoy the episode!

From Carlton’s concerning fade-outs to the Dogs’ do-or-die clash, we sift through some press conference gold and someone asked why the Pies never lose... good question. Let’s get into it.
