The Crumbs Podcast

This week on The Crumbs, the crew talk all things AFLW, with some regular segments on the agenda.

- In our Huddle chat, we talk all things Collingwood turmoil! Plus, we celebrate Georgie Prespakis's amazing goal of the year contender (and celebrate Jess Webster's commentary)!!

- Chantelle Rages again, and this time she's talking all things Kane Cornes and his latest comments about the statement "stop saying it wouldn't happen in the men's"

- Bay 13 recaps the highlights from Round 10, and we take a look at the run home for the tightly contested 8th ladder position.

- Cops and Robbers, it's time to lock in the latest steals for each of our panellists.

- And in bin it or pin it, we debate a potential AFLW Wild Card round. It is the right thing to do to add a round like the AFL did in 2026?

Join us and let's help us elevate the W as we move toward the business end of the season!

Join us for Episode 5 as we talk all things AFLW. This week we cover:

• The week's debate in 'the huddle' is all about ex-players joining the media. Tom Morris' recent comments have blown up, with some suggesting he should shut his mouth. We see it differently, and would prefer everyone in the media raising the issue - and we agree that more ex-players would add greatly to game analysis.
• Wig gives the panel a lesson in measurements (thanks Zippy Fish).
• In Bay 13, we preview the Pride Round guernseys. Who had the best, and how cool was the GWS announcement!
• Cops and Robbers - the team talk about their 'steal' for the week, Wig out on a limb taking Chris Fagan to the Saints and replacing Nick Dal Santo.
• And in Bin it or Pin it, two hot takes are thrown out:
  • 1. Is the term GOAT overused?
  • 2. Should Marvel just be the AFLW Grand Final host every year, period.

Come along and join us for another great chat!
