    NO. 138 - 2026 R23: EAGLES LOSING STREAK KEPT IN TACT!!! Now Let's Ruin Tex's Farewell Party

    A 9 game losing streak by the Eagles has been upheld by the Giants!!! That's a big win. And we have the chance to spoil the party for big Tex Walker. This is our GF. When you can't make the Encouragement Award of 10th place in the AFL Finals, these milestones become monumental. So we rejoice in our 54 point thumping over the Eagles, AND A WIN TO THE WOMENS SIDE!!! yeah the girls 🙌🏻 and we look forward to keeping our winning form at Adelaide Oval. There's plenty to like about this end to a somewhat dissapointing season: the kids. Rattus, Harvey, Gru, Delana, Rowston, Fonti, Angove, Angwin.... Great signs for what's coming in the next Orange Crop. Did we see the last of the Great Man, Toby Greene, at the Beanstalk? Felt like it. But Loyal Listener Dan remains optimistic, giving us hope... Regardless, all eyes on Adelaide Oval — Let's ruffle some Crow Feathers and spoil the party. Finish strong, embrace the Orange Tinted Linings, and...

    NO. 137 - 2026 R22: The Sun Sets on 2026... YOU'RE WELCOME, DIMMA! Surely West Coast Can't Beat Us Twice...

    Sparrow brought the pessimism: "That's it, we're cooked..." THEN ORCA RUNS HIS PREDICATOR AND WE'RE MEETING THE HAWKS IN A PRELIM!!! That's what the Orange Crush is for — lifting us up through the dark moments of August pain. But let's cut to the facts: we have developed a rather concerning habit of breaking incredible runs of losses and gifting a delightful W to struggling teams. Which is lovely, but it has to stop. That's the first item in our Season 2027 Manifesto. The second? Work out how to keep troops on the paddock. Two more soldiers down... BRING IN KEEFFE!!! Heard he's still playing. Or maybe that coach in the Ressies that first debuted in the late 90s. Desperate times, desperate measures... But seriously... how good's Delana? What a breakout game. Silver linings, folks. Well... Orange Tinted Linings. And this weekend — GO THE GIRLS! Get around them for Game 1 of the AFLW season after we smash the Eagles.

    NO. 136 - 2026 R21: A Power Outage Sparks Hope in Adelaide... OUR SEASON IS STILL ALIVE!!! Well, Kind Of...

    A flicker of hope from a Power outage in Adelaide... then WHACK! Carlton flogs the Lions and puts our season back in the dark on life support. Could that ripple on the Parramatta River become a surging Orange Tsunami flooding deep into September? We can only dream. And dream we will. Dreams of Whitfield dialling back the clock and kicking them from 50 out on an angle. Dreams of Stringer and his fish oil supplement dynasties. Dreams of the greats who have donned the number 31 for the Giants. Jarrod Brander, we remember and salute you. Get into this week's dose of The Squinters with Sparrow and Orca. Hair loss, Song of the Week, Squintfest options... it's all there. And, of course, we look ahead to our clash at the Golden Egg against our Expansion Cup rivals, the Suns. Oh, and if you make it to Canberra, check out the Mount Ainslie 500 on behalf of Sparrow, on the 500over10.com website. Report back with your time. That's it. Enough cross-pollinating of podcast interests. Giants for the win, gamble responsibly which is not at all, and...

    NO. 135 - 2026 - R20: The ANZAC Bridge Shifts Further East... 1,045 Metres of Misery!!! And Is There Any Power Left in 2026?

    Yes, that was a tough watch. Any time an opposition player racks up more than 1,000 metres gained against you, it’s going to be a tough watch. When the Swans kick seven goals in the opening quarter and lead by 53 points at half-time, it becomes something else entirely. And then Finn went down. Is there any hope? Define hope… What we do have is a strong football club, a healthy culture, an awesome supporter base and a media storm brewing that seems heavy on noise and light on substance. We expect better from you, Cal Twomey. So here it is: direct from Giants fans, for Giants fans. An opportunity to listen, commiserate and reflect on the season that could have been—had something resembling half our best side been available at the same time. There were at least a few flickers amid the wreckage: Cogs kicked three and had plenty of High Speed Metres, the youngsters kept cracking in, and the Orange Army stayed loud despite being given very little to work with. And, of course, a special shout-out to the club doctor—also on crutches. Seriously, can we take a trick? Probably not in 2026. Nonetheless, we’re loading up for Port Adelaide and one final attempt to keep the season alive. Never Surrender. ---- To get in contact, drop us an email, comment on Spotify or message us on X.

    NO. 134 - 2026 - R19: Bombers. We move on... BRING ON THE BATTLE OF THE BRIDGE!!

    Well, there goes the July Run. We'll take down Empires, but the rats and mice in the drains will never cease to trouble us. Best we just delete the last game against the Bombers from our memory bank and move on. Reboot. Look forward. Battle Of The Bridge. Biggest Rivalry in Australia. At stake: bragging rights. Strutting rights on Bronte. The Anzac bloody bridge. And maybe even our place in the top 8, sorry top 10, whatever the encouragement awards policy now covers. Whatever—we just have to win. Let's hope for more than 23 high speed fkn metres from our leaders this time. NEVER SURRENDER ---- To get in contact, drop us an email, comment on Spotify or message us on X.

    NO. 133 - 2026 - R18: Something's in the Air in July… and No Collarbone Will Be Spared

    The beauty of maths is that it’s completely objective. It’s science. It’s truth. It’s the foundational cornerstone of accumulated knowledge and humanity’s long, noble journey towards enlightenment. And so, Ragnar’s Maths continues its relentless pursuit of truth by predicting—nay, mathematically proving—what will happen this month: We won’t lose. But… ahhh, bugger. This weekend we play a team sitting on the bottom of the ladder. We generally play poorly in situations like this. Anything could happen, and humanity’s journey towards enlightenment may yet perform a spectacular U-turn. Ragnar, Sparrow and Orca are here to dive in and reassure the Orange Army. For now, we'll rejoice in the magnificent victory against a side that—for most of the game—was probably the better team. Unfortunately for them, when Clarry’s magnificent shoulder arrives at full force, accompanied by a commitment to the football only an overexcited kelpie could rival, chances are you’re about to lose. Where have we heard that before? That’s right: Rag’s Bet. Currently in administration. Possibly insolvent. Almost certainly irresponsible. RIP. However, should you wish to support the cause—and Ragnar’s deeply unhealthy relationship with speculative wagering—please visit the Buy Me a Coffee link below. Just kidding. All proceeds will go towards flights to the Grand Final. BECAUSE MARK OUR WORDS: THAT’S A MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY. We’ll see. But until then, we’ll Never Surrender. ---- To get in contact, drop us an email, comment on Spotify or message us on X. We love reviews or ratings.

    NO. 132 - 2026 - R17: The July Streak Has Begun...LFG!!!! 🚀

    Firstly, and most importantly: WELCOME BACK NEEDLES! Yes, the President of The Squinters, the Renaissance Man, the trackside oracle, returns to his dodgy mic after attending the Golden Egg with fellow OG Bartman to deliver high-quality uninformed opinions and insights you can only get on this golden piece of podcasting mastery. And what a game to return for. The Giants, with half the list held together by duct tape, fuelled by youthful zest and the faint smell of September, have knocked off the ladder-leading Dockers and ended their 14-game winning streak. The Package delivered a career-high seven. Toby did Toby things. The young’uns stood up. Callaghan worked. Idun marked everything. Whitfield was brilliant before getting concussed. And somehow, against a very legit football team, the Orange Tsunami emerged from Burley Griffin. Maybe it was the polite Canberra crowd. We love you Canberra. There is so much to discuss: the pressure, the clearance dominance, the defensive grit, the forward-line chaos — did we mention we had no key forward? Cads and Package 4Lyfe And of course, it's July, so throw the house on a win over the Cats this weekend (no, chances are you're about to lose), or at least get there to watch a quality game... CAUSE WE'RE BACK BABY!!! Clear the diary for September, because who knows? Whenever there’s a sniff, we'll Never Surrender. ---- To get in contact, drop us an email, comment on Spotify or message us on X. We love reviews or ratings.

    NO. 131 - 2026 - R16: Ragnars Maths Gives Us Hope: 13–1 in July Baby!!!

    Ragnar is detoxing. Stormy's calf is busted. The AFL YouTube Channel is dropping the ball. And we suck on a Friday night. But there's hope! Get used to this name: Ethan Matthews. Perfect time to get injured, young fella. Put him on ice, and hide him in the garage. Nothing to see here... 👀 And sure, there's tough games coming up in July — starting with the Dockers at Golden Egg — but Ragnar's Math's doesn't lie: Kingsley's July Record Is Ridiculous. So throw the house on it and Chances Are You're About To Lose. What Could You Be Buying Instead? Gamble Responsibly. We love you Stoney's Dad. And $6 beers are $6 beers, Guildford Hotel. Not $6:09. You're on notice as well. That is all. Enjoy the pod. Great job fellas. Spaz will be back soon... Never Surrender. ---- To get in contact, drop us an email, comment on Spotify or message us on X.
