The Footy Dictionary

The final siren has sounded at Dictionary HQ, but the boys are in the studio to give one last worthy hurrah in radio junk time. 

Thanks for listening this season, DicHeads. Catch Harper every Friday from 8am on SYN's breakfast show Get Cereal, and Hamish riding his camel to get to Bishkek in time for the Central Asian Australian Football League grand final.

Harper's coming into the studio at his highest point this week, still buzzing off Essendon's streak-snapping win over Port. Hamish is not so happy - at least until he hears a football media great's name in an Arabic-language 2000s pop banger. 

Stick around for a show-closing poem dedicated to the reserved seat members who you always hear but never see.

P.S. Happy Birthday, Dennis.

Nothing brings people together like a match sim at Whitten Oval. 

All it took was four-goal second half from Tom Edwards, and just like that Harper Pestinger and Hamish O'Brien are back, reunited on the airwaves. 

What classifies as a big week? What's the etiquette for on-field team photos? And how did another talkback caller find our number?

'What's this whole Dictionary show even about?' 

Well, it's definitely not on-field analysis, and we've stretched beyond just the language of Aussie rules.

To kick off the new season, The Footy Dictionary presents the definitive, hour-long answer to this oft-asked question. 

From banner/song synchronisation to Africanised bees, footy card facts to Fable Singers, this show is quite something.
