The boys commiserate the devastating straight sets exit and the end of the Giants 2024 campaign.
Alex also reads some excerpts from the extraordinary book Never Surrender by Georgina Hibberd who was given unprecedented access to the players and Club during their 2020 season.

After the devastating loss against Sydney in the first qualifying final, The Giants live to fight another day against last year's Grand Finalist Brisbane at Engie Stadium.
The boys analyze the extraordinary game and look towards what they hope will be another riveting contest at Engie on Saturday night.
In honor of the Giants latest AFLW Irish recruit Eilish O'Dowd, Alex gives Brandon the run down on the absolute legend that is Cora Staunton. Her career is so extraordinary that is has to be listened to, to be believed.

Alex may well be in the South West of WA for work and while it will stop him from attending the game on Saturday, it sure as hell won't stop him recording this podcast!
Brandon and Alex get excited about the prospect of knocking Sydney down a peg on their home turf and keeping our perfect record in finals against them in tact.
Alex continues regaling the rich history of the AFLW and somehow Producer Sam (a West Coast supporter of all things) is the only member of the trio attending the qualifying final. The world works in mysterious ways.
Huge congratulations to Craig for winning the TMBG Watch Party grand prize of two tickets the grand final, flights and accommodation. Thanks so much to everyone who attended our watch parties this year, we had a blast hosting them.

The Giants may have lost their first game in seven weeks, but they've made the top four, which means we're going into the finals with a double chance!
In a poetic turn of events for Brandon's first season as a fan, The Giants will take on their bitter cross town rivals the Blood Stained Angels in a qualifying final in a couple of weeks time.
Given their is a bye between now and then and the AFLW begins this weekend; Alex takes the chance to walk Brandon through the rich history of women's football in Australia.
They guys then read out some excellent emails (one all the way from Devon) and review what has been an extraordinary season of football.

The purple hoard have been vanquished and now it's time for The Giants to turn their attention to one of their greatest rivals, the Western Bulldogs down in Ballarat to bring this incredible season to a close.
Alex and Brandon go through the tense win over Freo and admire the incredible redemption story of Jesse Hogan as well as Producer Sam's favorite Giant, Brent Daniels.
The Giants have a chance to knock their staunch rivals out of the finals race and potentially secure a top 2 finish. There's everything to play for as the most gripping season in recent memory comes to a close, and an irresistible finals series awaits.
Join us for our final in-season watch party at the Hudson Hotel in Seven Hills. The theme is "Giants Formal" so throw your mind's back to year 12 and dress in your Sunday best (or worst) but don't forget to include a splash of orange.

The boys celebrate the victory over the Gold Coast Suns, while Alex marvels at Harvey Thomas's unheralded (and unlikely) rise towards the rising star.
Alex then dives deep into the history of the oldest club in the land - the Melbourne Demons. From repeat triple premierships, to years in the wilderness and accusations of tanking, this club is as old as the sport itself, and shares a history just as rich.

Be there; 7:30pm Saturday 27th of July to support the mighty Giants as we head towards the business end of the season!

Brandon and Alex recorded this episode straight after the watch party at The Crossroads Hotel in Casula, so it's a little spicy.
The boys celebrate the much needed win over Richmond and discuss how the final stanza of season 2024 is poised to be a ripper. The race for finals is as close as it's ever been, with hardly anything separating second to fourteenth on the ladder. The Giants have to keep winning to stay in the hunt.
Alex then educates Brandon about "the Dimmer Switch" as the Giants prepare to take on their fellow expansion club cousins; The Gold Coast Suns.
The guys also receive some constructive criticism in an email, tune in to see how they respond!
