Last year, it was Logan Morris making a big statement in the intraclub matches - now, Ty Gallop has followed his lead. With Joe's spot still wide open heading into season 2025, could Ty be the shock answer we've been looking for?

Alongside all the Ty hype, we're joined by the club's Number One Ticket Holder - Triple M Breakfast host Dan Anstey - to talk about his love of the club, the perks that come with his position, and his thoughts on the proposal for a revamped club song.

Also this week:

-Should the AFL have more themed rounds?

-A tattoo artist has been in touch

-How should we celebrate episode #100?

And much more!

One week to go until the pre-season fixtures begin, but looking at the length of our current injury list, we may be struggling to field a side.

This week on the show, we talk through those in the rehab group, those returning, and what impact this interrupted preseason is likely to have on our first month or two of footy in 2025.

Also this week:

-New stadium ideas keep coming through

-What would the second best 22 since 2000 be?

-Mike makes the worst joke in Roar Deal history

And much more!

February has arrived, and footy is only a month away! Before we look forward, though, we've got a little more looking back to do. The voice of September 2024, 7 commentator Alistair Nicholson, joins us to reflect on his iconic calls of the Giants and Cats finals.

Also this week:

-Mike Whiting responds to the fierce backlash to his 'Best Team Since 2000' piece

-Our thoughts on the Oscar Allen bombshell

-An overwhelming response to the new club song suggestion

And much more!

How do you follow up the season of dreams? We have no clue, but we're here to give it our best shot!

In our first episode for 2025, the Roar Deal returns with the most in-depth season preview imaginable, talking through our predictions for the best 23, the outcome of the stadium review, and our chances of going back to back.

Also this week:

-What's happened to Joe's mo?

It might have been the year of our dreams, but it ended in a North Melbourne nightmare at Ikon Park. Despite the AFLW Grand Final loss, however, spirits are still high as we celebrate the extraordinary season that was.

This week on the show, as we sit together in the Roar Deal studios for the final time in 2024, we look back at our favourite memories from the year, answer your last few questions, and start getting excited about doing it all again next year.

Also this week:

-Mike's first go at a 2025 Best 22 has dropped

-Recapping our brilliant night with Chris Fagan

-Our summer holiday plans

And much more!

This season of dreams just keeps on delivering, with our powerhouse AFLW team storming home against the Crows to book themselves a spot in Saturday's Grand Final in what is remarkably the club's fifth consecutive Grand Final appearance across the men's & women's competitions.

On this episode of the Roar Deal, we celebrate the big win over Adelaide, preview the Grand Final rematch against North Melbourne, and look ahead to Thursday night's live podcast with Chris Fagan. 

Also this week:

-Mike's report from Day 1 of the men's pre-season

-A recap of draft night and the additions of Ashcroft, Marshall, Gallop & Day

-Mike gives Dom on-air feedback for the first ever time

And much more! 

It's another Crows vs Lions AFLW final, and a third Ashcroft is on his way to the Lions - everything old is new again this week, and we couldn't be more excited about it all!

On this episode of the Roar Deal, we preview Saturday's massive prelim and look ahead to Wednesday night's draft.

Also this week:

-We're a bit mad about the 2025 fixture

-Who stole Mike's shoes?

-Only one week until our live event with Chris Fagan!

And much more!

Another tight away final, and another win! It's a formula that's worked for the Lions so far in 2024, and it's delivered again after a nail-biting finish against the Hawks on Sunday. On this episode of the Roar Deal, Ally Anderson joins us to talk through the joys of the qualifying final victory and the less-exciting turbulent trip home that followed.

Also, the 2025 men's fixture is only a few days away, and we react to the news that the Lions have been denied an Adelaide Oval Gather Round fixture for the third year running. 

Also this week:

-Which emoji is Fages a fan of?

-We might have finally settled the walk-on song debate 

-A guernsey-related premiership perk we had no idea existed

And much more! 

The Roar Deal journey has been filled with so many highlights, but maybe none that have blown us away more than this: only a few days after tickets to our live podcast with Chris Fagan went online, they've already sold out!

As the excitement starts to build for November 28, it's just about at fever pitch for the AFLW finals that kick off on Sunday against the Hawks down in Melbourne. We mightn't have second spot or the million dollars, but can we be the first club to win both the men's and women's premierships in the same season?

Also this week:

-Should the McClelland Trophy prize money be increased?

-The Fages walk on music drama continues to cause controversy

-The story of Cam Rayner's nanna at the Grand Final

And much more!
