It's our last episode for 2024, and we have assembled the full squad! This week, we discuss what players do in their off-season and how that may affect relationships, Jesse forgets that Petracca is Italian, Cassie starts a new love for manga, Clarky hosts a spelling bee, and Chris reboots.

Thanks for listening; we will see you next year!

In what has been Cassie's plan from day one of joining the podcast, this week we discuss reality shows with Anna and explore all the times that footy players have leapt to the silver screen, from Big Brother to Survivor. We also throw around our ideas for an AFL-centric reality show, with most of them going very Lord of the Flies very quickly

Remember those AFL calendars that kept What's New? in business for years? We want to bring them into modern times and bring Anna in to help us create the ultimate 2025 Falcon Calendar, from Bailey's abs and BT's moon to the summation of Pi and Sam Switkowski in Monsters Inc.

Oh god, they're back! This week, Patch and Lek join us to discuss the mess that is the current AFL draft system. We also give Chris the stage to defend the father/son rule, Jesse's brain breaks trying to understand the point system, Patch becomes a sleep-deprived dictator, and we learn the origins of Lek's pie from episode 60.

@falconfootypod

Look, we don't know what to say about this episode. Lek and Patch join us to discuss the best ways to deal with your team losing; well, that was the plan - instead, we learn about Lek's obsession with spreadsheets, Patch takes control of hosting duties, Chris considers going bald, and Jesse lets go of the steering wheel - it's a good one!

@falconfootypod

We have been discussing media coverage a lot lately, but let's face it, we have no f&%#ing clue what we are on about - so we have brought on someone who does! You may know Deano Thomas from his time on Nova 100 or Browny's Podcast, his hit podcast with Jono Brown and Campbell Brown - but this week, he is slumming it with us fools to discuss the rise of the footy podcast.

@falconfootypod

In 2024, you'd assume that watching AFL on TV would be easy, right? Right?! Well, we know that broadcasting needs a full review, and that's why this week, we are running a magnifying glass over the current broadcasting landscape, from the questionable quality of Kayo and great radio commentary to Before The Game and the 1995 romantic-comedy Now And Then.

@falconfootypod

Chris is the pilot seat this week, and he's taking us into the stratosphere to discuss the most bodacious teams of 2024: the Doggies, Lions, Giants, Cats, Port Adelaide, and Sydney. We also break down some extremely disappointing behaviour from players and fans, explain the concept of Who's Line Is It Anyway?, and look at the definitions of several words.

@falconfootypod

Cassie has hopped into the hosting seat this week to take us through our reviews of the awkward middle teams: St Kilda, Essendon, Freo, Pies, Blues, and the Hawks. We also make Chris drink some very suspicious fluids, discuss how much organisation goes into attending a Harry Styles show, and make multiple trade corrections.

@falconfootypod

This week, we are joined by a man who bleeds yellow and black (he's very sick), Broderick Gordes, to begin our 2024 team reviews, starting at the bottom with Richmond, Kangaroos, West Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Gold Coast. We also review outdated trade news, work out how many Cherry Ripes tall Tristan Xerri, and hear what Murray the Dog has to say regarding AFL matters.
