Not Like This

Muzz and Richie Buckets join forces to breakdown a controversial, season-ending, crazy round of footy starting with the Pies Lions clash (01:00), the screwjob in Adeaide as Richie closes business on the goal umpire and the Swans creeping up to the magical 7 straight wins (09:20), give some love to a few all time club champs in Jack Riewoldt, Jack Ziebell and Trent Cotchin (13:55), the ferocious contest between the Blues and Suns as Charlie goes full Buddy (20:50), Hulk Hogans big game against the free-falling Bombers (26:50), Saints fans excitement over making finals under the true chosen one Ross the Boss (33:00), the Dogs inexplicable loss with so much on the line against the Eagles (43:00), then finishing with a few thoughts from the Dees Hawks game (49:20)

Sorry again for the delay everyone! Even the NLT crew are limping to the finish of this long regular season.

Muzz finally allowed The Bone to re-enter the studio to review a superb round of football. Judgement is given in all the rounds major cases : TRAC V ARC, Brad Close V  Carpark and the tragic case of Tim English the Fullback.

After copping vile abuse from listeners for failing to publish a weekly episode, host Muzz embarks on a solo mission, trying to incorporate as many Richie Buckets and T-Bone catch phrases as possible as he unpacks the week in football; Little Nicky's tragic knee injury, Geelong's narrow escape, Luke Shuey's inevitable trip to the Eagle Farm, Harry Himmelberg's Giant contract, Dimma's Italian job and, if nothing else, tune in for a guest appearance from Richie Buckets, as he does the one thing he hoped he'd never have to do!

LET'S BE CLEAR: Collingwood losing to Carlton is not why the episode is late! The boys discuss a bizarre round 20; The Blues' sixth straight win, the Crows' Showdown triumph, crucial wins for the Dees, Swans, Grub-led Giants and (disrespected) Saints, and Richie Buckets returns from his Adelaide road trip to reopen business for one franchise and quietly close the door on another.

T-Bone flies in from the City of Churches to recount him and Richie's experience watching the Pies-Power top-of-the-table clash at the Adelaide Oval, before him and Muzz chat about Jake Stringer's stop-start career, Bevo's broken hand, Luke Shuey's imminent trip to the Eagle farm, the Tigers' comeback from the clouds against the Hawks, 'Tex' versus Modra, and Muzz's dad joins the podcast fresh from the Saints-Kangaroos graveyard shift to give his thoughts on the game and the Nick Riewoldt-Brett Ratten 'free physio' beef.

Richie, Muzz and T-Bone kick off the pod with the resurgent Blues finally waking up for season 2023, give Baby SOS some love while Richie and Bone make it all about them and discuss how angry they are at Port for resting guys ahead of their clash next week (00:30),then get into the GOTY between Brisbane and Melbourne and how this podcasts' favorite King, King Melk took control over this game in the final frantic last qtr (07:30), we remain mystified by the Doggies to the point of a spontaneous closing and give some love to Horse for 300 games as coach (16:45), the Pies dominant third qtr against Freo as Richie and Bone try desperately to keep a lid on things (26:00), Muzz knew this was coming for the Saints against Gold Coast and was the Dew sacking warranted? Does Dimma take the gig? (35:45), and we finish with the Cat flex as they pounced on any and every Bomber turnover in a beatdown at Kardinia Park (44:30)

Muzz, JT and Richie Buckets kick off the pod by reveling in the goalfest at Docklands between Essendon and Adelaide ( 00:30), discuss the win or go home Richmond Swans arm wrestle in the wet and break into an extended game of Who Better? Legends Edition of Dusty v Buddy before realising we should just do an entire pod on this at some point (07:50), give Pendles all the love and a JUH debate, while Richie Buckets breaks out and adds a Corporate Takeover Watch for  Pies v Dogs (18:00), Forward Trac living it up in King Melks Forward Kingdom (31:15), and some Cogs love in the GWS Hawks game (38:30)

Muzz recounts his psychological meltdown during the Saints-Eagles game (0:52), before Richie and T-Bone salvage the podcast by cautioning the Tigers against the caretaker coach trap (6:55), debating whether the Swans left excrement on the sheets during their draw against Geelong (15:43), lamenting Bevo's politeness with the media this season (24:21), contemplating whether the Suns are professional losers after their loss to the Flag-Pies (29:38), re-living Dan Houston's after the siren match-winner (36:54) and annointing the Giants as the 'party crashers' of the competition (44:53).

Richie, Muzz and T-Bone recap a narrow escape for the Pies against the Hot Tex Time Machine (1:22), before getting stuck into the rest of the bye round: the Demons' missed chance to bury the Cats in 'Wild Man' Scott's 300th game (8:55), a Harry Andrews masterclass against the sloppy Saints (17:11), Richie delivers some home truths to the Eagles after their blood(s)bath in Sydney (29:10) and 'Wacko Jacko' finally shines for the Dockers over the Bombers (38:50).

Richie, Muzz and T-Bone trawl the Port Adelaide fan forums to give credit to the man who's really responsible for the Power's winning streak, before chatting about an inevitable Lions victory at the Gabba, Trent Cotchin's courageous 300-game career, a Docker shocker against the Giants, a respite/goal orgy for Blues supporters at the MCG and the demise of Dermott Brereton's commentary career during the Bulldogs-Kangaroos game, before clearing up a host of absurd player nicknames to give listeners a clue as to what they've been talking about for the past three seasons.
