The Coach and Tex

Tex and Turtle navigate the episode again reviewing a spectacular weekend of Preliminary finals, Nick Daicos dominating the Brownlow, Hawthorn supporters making dills of themselves, and a Hawthorn captain who should be embarrassed of himself. We then turn our attention to the Grand Final and the Turtle has a list of all lists for the GF, and our tweeters lean in with their finals thoughts.

A huge Preliminary Finals episode as the Turtle and Tex carry the enormous load left by the Coach who is on annual leave again. The lads cover everything from Wildcard debriefs, the arrogance of the Lions, how funny to see the Cats fall again, Wharfie time strikes and Adelaide just not good enough. They discuss the Butters decision and Turtle has a list and teaches everyone a thing or two on culture in sport. He also gives us a great NFL download, whilst Tex’s tirade goes for 5 chapters!

The lads reunite on the eve of the Coach’s long awaited overseas trip. They unlock all things Wildcard Finals, The Blues renaissance, the gutsy Dogs, the old Pies and the injured Dees. Add to that, the shenanigans at the Swans, new coaches appointed and we enter the silly season around trade and free agency talk.

Tex gets serious about his tirade, and Turtle teaches us again, this time on the topic of selfishness.

The lads break a personal best and breakdown a raft of football issues including the coaching vacancies, coaches at risk, the Wildcard round, the concussion issues and the Geelong farce.

They also have enough time to break down all the social issues, politics and entertainment. The Tirade is a buggy, and the Turtle preaches about youth gambling and the proliferation of the “multi”. And finally, the most controversial tweeter gets a mouthful from Tex!!

The lads get together remotely, with Tex stranded on Hamilton Island, while the Coach and Turtle slum it in suburbia. Plenty of chatter around some old, lost friends, and then the lads discuss everything from the World Cup, Wimbledon and then get their teeth into all things footy!! They discuss their relative excitement around Season 2026, the Top 5 players and the exciting news around Farmer Ken getting the gig at the Devils.

The three stooges are back together and have broken their record for their longest episode for the season. The Coach rolls out his AA squad and the boys discuss the Fremantle juggernaut, Gold Coast crumbling and the Turtle breaks down the blockbuster between the Tiges and Maggies from Saturday. The tweeters get a run, and watch out for Tex’s Tirade, especially if your name is Moira.

The boys return from Warrnambool, without the Coach. They cover everything from world sport (Go Knicks), provide a stable update and get into the minutiae of the AFL round. They break down the Essendon and Carlton coaching sagas, the after effects of the Pendles 433, the Brisbane decline, the stagnation at Tigerland, and plenty more. And then the Turtle takes you through his All Australian front runner team for 2026, and even Tex agrees. We finally wrap up with the return of Tex’s Tirade

The long awaited return of Tex to the the episode, coupled with the fact that the lads are live from the Bool. We do a deep dive into all things AFL governance, and then talk through the big issues, including the Melbourne CEO firing, WhiteBoard gate, How well the Tigers are travelling, the best rivalry in football and debate how selfish Scott Pendlebury really is. And Tex reaches out to our key Tweeters

What a cracking time to be alive and talk football. Despite the fact that the search party is still put trying to find the little one, the Coach and Turtle discussed everything from a Collingwood “deep dive” through to tribunal woes, what is exciting you in football and the tough discussion around the Elijah Hollands scenario. The Coach provides a stable update and the Turtle gives “Ross the Boss” some strong feedback.

Our competition winner, Mr Beanbag, joins the Turtle in co-hosting duties.

They review the recent rounds of the AFL, doing a deep dive on the Carlton Football Club.

Our guest’s knowledge and coverage of politics and the social landscape, knows no bounds. This comes to the fore with an immediate reaction to our Prime Minister’s address to the nation, keeping tabs on international political leaders and coverage of the recent season of Peaky Blinders.

We also cover off St Kilda’s imposter syndrome, the continued fall of Essendon and the early season “surprise packets”.
