2024 AFL Round 15 Recap: "I Feel Like Joan Rivers"
We declare this past round to have been Ruck Round! Nearly every game had a starring ruck or a strong ruck matchup. The last of the bye rounds started off quite disappointingly for our older cohost, but we can both take solace in neither of our clubs coming close to the worst loss of the weekend. We, just like Australian broadcasters, can also laugh about vulgarity.

2024 AFL Round 15 Progress Reports: "Factories of Sadness"
Well, crap… there’s a fair amount of ViC bIaS present in our last Progress Reports. Only one of the six clubs on bye is inside the eight, but at least all six have been central to our storylines this year!

2024 AFL Round 14 Recap: "Worst. Sub. Ever."
*sigh* The title says it all. At least it means we finally get a chance to dive into a North game. …Damn, it's hard to get past that, even with other solid entertainment in this round! How about a triple-digit Saints game? Or one man drawing over 93,000 to the G?
Nah, we're still mostly thinking about that sub call.

2024 AFL Round 14 Progress Reports: "I Probably Shouldn't Say…"
We don’t hold back in these progress reports! Ethan and Benjamin do a it of a switch when it comes to their own teams, though the younger host’s cynical side comes out a bit more… Also, dammit, Petracca’s done for the year. That sucks, plain and simple.

2024 AFL Round 14 Preview: "Relocate to Humpty Doo"
We just can't get around to fully hating the team's we're supposed to hate (yet). The Hawks (for Ethan) and Pies (for… everyone) fall into that camp, and they're both among the dozen clubs in action this week. Perhaps the most important game, though, is the finals rematch on Sunday afternoon.
