In their final episode of the Summer Series, Richie Buckets and G-Force go through the Hird years and all the controversy surrounding the club, what it meant for the players and fans, and if there is any hope going forward.

Shout out to G-Force for being such a wonderful guest!

Richie Buckets and G-Force continue their chat and get into a regular season classic featuring an old Bomber enemy and a Velvet Sledgehammer doing what needed to be done!

They also discuss the end of the Sheedy era and the difficulties the club faced in choosing a new way forward (including some disgustingly lazy and cliche'd Manchester United comparisons).

Richie Buckets jumps on his trusty mare and trots up to Kelly Country to have a chat with a great friend of the pod and long-time Bombers fan/tragic, G-Force. 

In part 1 we discuss the Baby Bombers era from 1993-2001 and all the big moments: heartbreaking prelims, GF beatdowns, the Marshmallow Wars, and an ultimate revenge tour!

Bone and Richie Buckets pay homage to the AFL players who rode off into the sunset in the back of a Hilux, including a GOAT candidate, a Coleman medalist, two-club-love candidates, all-time clutch performers and a forgotten Rising Star winner.

Richie and Bone hold themselves to account for their pre-season predictions, taking a few victory laps and a whole lotta walk of shames!

Later in the pod they discuss week one of the trade period

Richie Buckets, T-Bone and special guest, Al, discuss Geelong's glorious Grand Final win over Sydney and describe what a 10th premiership means to Cats players and fans. Two of them manage to sound genuinely enthusiastic!

T-Bone and Richie Buckets check in on ongoing lawsuits seeking to overturn the result of the preliminary final. The boys then begrudgingly preview the 2022 Grand Final between Geelong and Sydney: Wild Man v Horse; Franklin v De Koning; Rampe v Cameron; Football v Schoolies; Selwood v The Entire History of the St Kilda Football Club. A fun-filled look ahead to the best day on the footy calender!

T-Bone and Richie Buckets gather their thoughts on the Pies' once in a lifetime season after their 1-point defeat, paying respect to Sydney's fountain of youth, Ruck Jesus' 4th coming and the Swans' charismatic coach through gritted teeth, before turning their attention to Geelong's big boy school beatdown of the Brisbane Lions, and mapping the Cats' transition from sexy football to clinical (but still erotic) football under 'Wild Man' Scott.

Muzz is joined by T-Bone and Richie Buckets, who're still drenched in purple Docker blood, to tackle the major questions in the footy world. Was it a wasted season for the Dees? Has Clarry Oliver abdicated the throne after only one week? Will the Brisbane Lions destroy 'Wild Man' Scotty's coaching legacy? Are the Tigers primed to compete again with their two Giant cubs? And can anything stop the Collingwood Flag-Pies from marching through the Gates of Valhalla?

Rich, Muzz and T-Bone review a bumper first week of finals football, tackling the Lions-Tigers thriller in the jungle, the Cats-Pies heartstopper at the 'G', the Dogs-Flag-mantle swinger in the hermit kingdom and the Dees-Swans blood(s)bath that forced Bone to apologise to the Sydney Swans for the 4,719th time and may have ended the reign of one of the podcast's most loved footballers/kings.
