Rip Through It

The boys catch up and chat all things sport on this episode!

AFL "opening round" has been announced, should there be some bigger games to open up the AFL season for 2025?

Kai Lohmann is one of the AFL's brightest young stars, and he's already making waves with the Brisbane Lions. Drafted in 2021, this slick midfielder/forward is the kind of player who can light up a game with his speed, skill, and smarts.

Known for his high energy and relentless work ethic, Lohmann's the kind of player who’s always in the thick of the action. With his ability to read the game and turn it on in crucial moments, he's a key piece in Brisbane's future and one to keep an eye on as he continues to grow and develop in the AFL.

We chat to Kai about what drives him to get better every year and what ultiminately helped him have a breakout season playing 27 games, winning a Rising Star nomination and dominating in an AFL grand final kicking 4 goals, and 9 in total for the finals!

HUGE WEEK in the AFL world with most the important trades coming down to the wire!

Robbo and Matho rated their best/ worst clubs at the trade table in 2024, some of which stunk it up but some clubs added some great talent.

To top it off, Rip Through It exclusively facetimed the Shepmates and got some amazing behind the scenes look at what it took for Ned Brockmann to complete 1610km in 12 days 13 hours and raise an amazing $2.6million for WE ARE MOBILISE charity which helps homeless people in Australia!

Jarrod Berry has one of the most interesting football stories in such a short career, with 160 games under his belt, he has played in the past two AFL Grand Finals.

Bezza opens up on how the 2023 grand final loss to Collingwood and just how much it weighed on him after admitting he felt he cost his mates a flag with a late free kick against resulting in a goal to Steele Sidebottom.

We speak about the effect of social media trolls and how he used that as fuel in arguably his best season of his career, the relief of winning the 2024 Grand Final and how the life lessons of his late mother taught him to be the resillient person he is today!

This is genuinely one of the best insights into the modern day AFL footballer and how to overcome adversity!
