WTF! What the Footy!

The Grand Final has come and gone — but not to us! — as we break down (and bell up!) an unforgettable end to the 2026 fixture. Also, has the time come for Wharfie Time to be retired? And did Joe really bring up Francisco Cabrera?!? Give us your ear and find out.

G’Day, G’Day, G’Day! It’s Grand Final week and we recap two heart-stoppers while opining on a streak-buster, a ref fluster, and a suspended buster while we muster the strength to finish the string. It’s so much show, we couldn’t fit the ticker! (Not really, I forgot … 🤷🏻‍♂️) Join us as we hurtle toward the end of footy ‘26!

And then there were four! We recap the semis and advance the prelims as we rumble toward a Grand Final that’s sure to please. Brisbane, Fremantle, Sydney and Hawthorn comprise the final four ... Also, we’re trying — I mean, REALLY trying — to understand the ways of the land Down Under, but dang is it frustrating! Join us, anyway!

The top six teams on the ladder remain alive. It's how they got to this spot that is unusual. Is that a sign of things to come this weekend in the semifinals. We also look at the NFL coming to Melbourne and debate the firing of North Melbourne's coach. We preview the semis and take a look at the AFLW ladder in our weekly report.

It's the halfway point of our first year doing the podcast. The AFL field is down to the Great Eight — and we look ahead to this weekend’s Qualifying and Elimination Finals. Can the Blues continue their magical run? Can the Swans find some magic of their own? We ponder these questions and much more.

A special double-episode with footy savant Coach Donnie Hess of Donnie’s Disposal ( @donniesdisposal  ), where we talk about the Sydney situation, advance this week’s Wildcard Finals, and probably learn more than we deserve about wooden spoons. We also gain his knowledge on the AFLW games.

Another week, another scandal as the dark clouds swirl around the Sydney Swans on the eve of Finals. But we finally have a Minor Premier! And we finally have our final 10, punctuated by the impossible … ! … Do join us as we shoot blanks on this and much more

Huge wins by Carlton and Melbourne and (wait, what?) Gold Coast (that’s why we play the songs!) are overshadowed by a developing situation in Geelong concerning head trauma. Believe it or not, we have a few opinions on this subject. We also present our weekly Match the Match games and Stock Up/Down for the week. Beetlejuice even makes a cameo.

After Carlton’s rip-roaring blistering of the two-time defending champ, we’re most decidedly very nice to the Blues and, well, *somewhat* evil to everyone else. But a bigger game awaits, with a train and big numbers and another commode and a host tripping all over Round 21 … !

We’re getting down to the nitty-gritty with four weeks left in the home-away, and there’s some troubling news for everyone eyeing a Final berth not named St. Kilda. Speaking of the Saints, we learned this star’s entire blessed name for today’s show, can you believe it?!? We look at three matches involving contenders this past week, and we try to figure out how the middle of the ladder might unfold.
