After a lengthy preseason break Hamish and Amos are back for 2026 sharing their expertise in Moguls skiing, the state of the Australian T20 team, EPL managers and of course, making the case for how both Essendon and Hawthorn will win the Premiership this year.

In this episode Hamish gets excited about finally winning a final and also discusses further how the Welsh era is unfolding.

Hamish gets excited about the Andrew Welsh era at Essendon. Amos thinks that the Hawks can win a Premiership anyway.

They both kind of agree that the person that came out of this whole saga worst was Tom Petroro.

Hamish doesn't want to talk about it (we all know he's plotting a coup.)

Amos is up and about with the Hawks facing off against the Cats in the prelim

Hamish thinks it's time to rebrand the podcast away from AFL. Amos is booking his Grand Final tickets.

Both teams are sitting pretty at the top of the AFLW ladder

To be honest there wasn't much footy talk this week with a focus on:

1. EPL's back

2. Hamish rebranding the podcast as a Glenn Maxwell podcast

Whilst Amos is making his September plans, Hamish is trying to find positives in what has become a "trying" season.

Hamish calls the Essenon and Richmond game the worst game in VFL/AFL history. Amos thinks that the Hawks can still make the Top 4

Amos is quietly confident but won't back them in just yet, whilst Hamish questions whether any other team has ever lost the bye round as badly as Essendon did.

Amos reviews the Hawks at the halfway point of the season and thinks they finish the regular season in 5th. For the Bombers, Hamish thinks the bye has come at the right time.
