G’day Lions fans — Gather Round has landed, and so has a seriously juicy instalment of Lions Lowdown.
We’ve strung together another win in the country, momentum is finally humming, and the squad’s starting to look whole again (well… almost). But this one wasn’t straightforward. Wind. Rain. Weird vibes. Goal songs gone rogue. Umpires doing umpire things. And North Melbourne — yes, North — refusing to go quietly.
In this episode, Ash dives into the chaos, the grind, and the bursts of brilliance that shaped the Lions’ third straight victory. There’s tactical shifts you might’ve missed, moments that swung the match, standout performances worth shouting about, and a couple of eyebrow-raising media gems that simply have to be heard to be believed.
Plus, Ash tackles fixturing quirks, Gather Round culture wars, a few controversial calls, and why a certain Victorian club absolutely earns its place in the “crosses” column.
If you want the full story — the momentum, the madness, the laughs, the simmering frustrations, and the big-picture context of where the Lions sit heading into a massive month — hit play and settle in. This Gather Round recap is one you won’t want to skip.
Ash rockets back into the insanity and colour of the 1993 AFL season — a year that swung between brilliance and bedlam with zero interest in slowing down.
He relives the freakish goal-kickers, the monster comebacks, the flashpoint controversies, and yes… the day a pig somehow lined up at full forward.
Against the backdrop of the International Year of Indigenous People, Ash also shines a light on the First Nations stars who rose above the noise and forced the footy world to sit up, listen, and respect the impact they were making on the game.
A fast, fiery, dive into one of the most unforgettable seasons Australian football has ever produced.
🦁 Ash swings in for a sharp, fiery little hit-and-run before Gather Round kicks off, with all the ins and outs for our game against the Roos at Barossa Park, taking aim at a few mainstream media loudmouths while surprising himself by agreeing with some of the analysis.
🦁 He wades into the chaos of Gather Round fixturing and ticketing with a few blunt suggestions for how the league could actually get it right, and wraps it all up with an update on the fresh new role handed to an AFLW premiership skipper.
🦁 Quick, opinionated, and full of that trademark Lowdown bite — this minisode sets the tone for a massive weekend ahead.
This episode, we dive deeper into the stories behind the round four games, take another look at what’s going on at Carlton, shine a light on the weekend’s winners, and run through all the latest injury updates, MRO findings and tribunal news.
And that’s just the warm-up — Ash unveils his Team of the Week, dishes out his votes for every game, and refreshes the leaderboard, where a couple of clear standouts are starting to break away from the pack.
Expect a few rants, a few laughs, and plenty of proper footy analysis. If you want to understand round four, this episode has you covered.
Strap yourselves in, folks — it’s about to get messy.
