#174: Seven Minutes Of Heaven

With four minutes and eighteen seconds left, as Wharfie Time rang around the MCG, the script seemed written: The threepeat had proven to be just a bridge too far.Fremantle Premiership merch was already on sale, the Auskickers had their Dockers guernseys on ready for the medal presentation, and Freo fans everywhere were hugging and crying as the enormity of the moment they had waited so long for started to hit them.And of course all this was happening. Because it was over. We just don’t see comebacks in Grand Finals - certainly not like that, certainly not that late.In the one hundred and thirty years of the competition’s history, it’s never happened before.This Lions group, though, don’t seem all that bothered by history - at least, not unless they’re the ones making it.And in four minutes of glory at the MCG, our Lions did exactly that.Under the highest possible stress, with stakes that do not come any greater and a clock rapidly ticking down, the 2026 premiership was won.Charlie Cameron started it, Zac Bailey continued it, Logan Morris finished it off, and Will Ashcroft tied it all together, officially launching this group into footy folklore for the rest of time.2024 made these Lions a great side, 2025 made them brilliant, but the hat trick cements things - this Lions group is unquestionably now one of the greatest teams to ever play the game.This is the rare air of a dynasty.Enjoy our 2026 Premiership special thanks to Kartable!

#3: David Noble & Rebuilding The Lions

With the intra-clubs now well underway, we look at the players who have caught our eye so far - from Cam Rayner playing in defence, to Will Ashcroft exceeding what were already astronomically-high expectations, with a few comments on Jack Gunston, Conor McKenna, Darcy Wilmot, Harry Sharp, and Jimmy Tunstill as well. Mike also gives a bit of an insight into the changing media landscape of Lions coverage over his time in the role, and we get to a few of your questions about season 2023.

#2: Cam Rayner In Defence & The Lions Media Landscape

The new Roar Deal is here! In the first official episode of the new show, we've gone straight to the top - Leigh Matthews joins us to talk about the 20 year anniversary of the 2003 premiership, his former players who are now in the coaching ranks, and whether or not he thinks he had another coaching stint in him after his time at the Lions wrapped up. We also give our (likely inaccurate) predictions for the season ahead.
