Never Surrender - a GWS Giants AFL podcast

"They're playing Harlem Globetrotter footy. It's relentless." David King (SEN), 18th March, 2024.

You Get A Goal..., And You Get A Goal..., And You Get A Goal...., EVERYBODY GETS A GOAL!!! Well, nearly everybody (sorry POTUS. So close 😢).

Join Needles and Sparrow as we saviour the view from the Top Of The Ladder, disecting with meticulous analysis the demolition of the Roos at the Cow Paddock—which we'll miss for another 60 bloody long days! Good thing we like a roadtrip and living out of a suitcase.

Special mention to the Fan Gathering this Sunday 24th March at 6.30pm at the Silverwater Hotel, courtesy of our squinting friends 'They Might Become GIANTS' . Get down there to to watch the bogey game against the Eagles. Milkman's AFL debut perhaps...? Hopefully not Ried's statement to the AFL World that he's well and truley arrived. Harley, save that for Gather Round...

"Collllliinnn-GIIIIAAANNNTSSS..., GIIIIAAANNNTSSS..., GIIIIAAANNNTSSS..." The Beanstalk, Round 0 2024.

Our new most hated team (sorry Doggies, we'll focus on you later), came and GOT SPANKED!!! That'll shut em up, and make Cox shrink down South to where he belongs (doesn't deserve to be in the cow paddock quite frankly).

Join Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar Lothbrok as we dive into game 0 (1??) for the year between Collingwood and the Giants, a game which saw us start a little slowly, then off the boot of an Irishman demolish the Premiers with a resounding 114-82 victory at a pumping Beanstalk.

Rags does his best to spoil the party and temper our excitement; Ragnar's Maths gets an insert from Needles via Rohan Connelly; we kinda sorta shoulda mention you guys can sponsor us if you feel inclined (details on that at a later date); and of course we look forward to our next assignment against the Shinboners at The Beanstalk on a family friendly Saturday Arvo. Get down there.

Looks weird dunnit? Round 0. But that's where we're at. Pre Round 1 2024. Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar have folded up the speedos, dusted off the microphones, and are ready to rumble...

The off season's done; the sand dunes of Summer Bay have been summited; the Inner West Bay Run's been done 1000 times; Cads is now a Gym Rat; and Tobe's and Cog's are Dad's... 🥹

So strap the leg rope on, wax up your boards and lets get on this big bloody beautiful Orange Tsunami once again for a season of barrels and the occasional wipe-out... 🏄

"That one hurts. That one really hurts”. Toby Greene.

Moments like these cut deep. But we get off the canvas. We band together. We dust off the mics and console each other. We rally as the Orange Army.

It was just one head decapitation too many... But man were they courageous. Plenty to be proud of and look forward to. And plenty to talk about.

Join Needles, Sparrow & Ragnar as we reflect and discuss all matters pertaining to the Orange Crush. And of course there's Ragnar's Maths , the return of the Bake, Sparrow's SOS, and...., wait for it....., Needle's Quiz is back!!!

And get your Jerky in time for the GF: Fatt Matt’s Beef Jerky (https://www.fattmattz.com.au/), PROMO CODE: NSP. Get on it, the best protein in a can you could ask for.

"This mob, my God, they run like the wind”. Robbo

Call it belief, call it #TaylorsProphecy, the Orange Tsunami, or just a bunch of mates playing for each other and lovin footy. Whatever you call it, boy oh boy wowee it's good to watch. And as Tom Green reminded everyone, “What’d I say, what’d I say???”. Time to listen to the lad from Canberra. Free smoke wherever you want it.

Join Needles, Sparrow, Ragnar, and special guest..... BARTMAN(!!), as we go through all the issues, dissect the demolition in Adelaide, speculate over the Prelim against the Pies, and of course deliver our regulars in Ragnar's Bake (via Spaz), Ragnar's Maths (this one could go viral), and or course Sparrow's SOS.

And remember to get your Jerky in time for the game: Fatt Matt’s Beef Jerky (https://www.fattmattz.com.au/), PROMO CODE: NSP. Get on it, the best protein in a can you could ask for.

"Any Time. Any Place. 13 Venues. Free smoke wherever you want it”. Tom Green 👊

This team is made for finals. Tough, relentless, impervious to pressure.

Join Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar Lothbrok as we dive into the Elimination Final between St Kilda and the Giants, a game which saw us fight our way to a 101-77 victory at the home of AFL, the MCG - the 11th venue we've won at in season 2023. Noone else has done that by the way...

There's live grabs from the game - NEEDLES WAS THERE!!! (and Bartman - sorry Bartman for not getting you on); heaps of sponsor chat with not much sponsor action (though there is a promo code - FIRST EVER, see below); Bake reviews (we take the credit for Ben Ihle's fine performance getting Bedford off); Ragnar's Maths (courtesy of listener Nathan); Sparrow's SOS (which is becoming an unwieldy beast); and of course a look forward to our next assignment against the Power in Adelaide. Are we daunted, HELL NO!! But Needles thinks we'll lose (emotional hedge).

And how about #TaylorsProphecy. It's gone bloody mainstream! You're welcome Fox Footy and AFL Media. Sparrow at your service. 🫡

Fatt Matt’s Beef Jerky (https://www.fattmattz.com.au/) for your finals viewing: PROMO CODE IS NSP. Helps us build for Season 2024. GET ON IT SQUINTERS!!

SPECIAL EPISODE!! In this HUGE episode previewing our Elimination Final against St Kilda, the One Eyed Giant (the best thing in Sports Media) becomes a Squinter. Or do the Squinters become One Eyed Giants? Either way it makes for glorious Orange flavoured ear candy.

There's much to discuss: Snooze Bedford's OUTRAGEOUS miscarriage of justice; the elusive #TaylorsProphecy; a One-Eyed-Giant snapshot of the year so far; shoutouts to incredible fan contributions and support (looking at you Jon); and of course the outlook against the Saints this weekend.

And a product shoutout!! Fatt Matt’s Beef Jerky (https://www.fattmattz.com.au/) - let him know you came via us when you order it for all your finals viewing and let us know your thoughts. Needles and Jon swear by it. And Sparrow's just ordered 4 cans of it to see what all the fuss is about.

We were so good? We're we good? Are we ready? Yes, we're ready. Who's the best? All of the boys, but Cogs did play his 200th and got named in the All-Australian squad so is a total, total legend. There's some new bits today - Maths with Ragnar, and Sparrow's SOS. So stick this in your ears and enjoy before everything gets very serious very soon. Play time is over, kiddies.
