    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.

    NO. 130 - 2026 - R15: A Blue Tsunami Dumped Us on Parramatta Road… BUT WHAT A SPOT IT TURNED OUT TO BE!!

    When two waves collide, there’s a displacement of energy. And when those waves are Orange and Blue, it’s not yet the month we don’t lose in — July, obviously — and you’ve got players slipping over, missing targets, and podcasters wandering around forlornly looking for somewhere to eat and commiserate… sometimes, somehow, the footy gods deliver. Not on the scoreboard. With pizza. Hats off to Basilico Pizza in Homebush for cheering us up with proper soul food: wood-fired pizzas, fresh toppings, and bases better than any you'd find on Lygon Street, Carlton. So that's a win at least. Rags, Sparrow, Orca and Number 3 take you to the game, ride the emotion of it all, and then debrief in a converted petrol station in GREATER Western Sydney. Just the stuff to get you through the week before Friday’s game against the Hawks. Which will be tough... Stick fat, Orange Army, and Never Surrender. July is almost here. Basilico Pizza: 161 Parramatta Road, Homebush. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ---- To get in contact, drop us an email, comment on Spotify or message us on X. We love reviews or ratings.

    NO. 129 - 2026 - R14: Sure, We Lost to the Saints... BUT: A SPECIAL EPISODE from Deep in the Bowels of the Beanstalk!!!

    Did we lose? Sure. Kingers, post game: “We’re better than our ladder position”, plus “Hoges was a mistake”. Frankly, we agree. BUT... Was Stormy magnificent? Absolutely. Did Bluey have his own pill? Damn right. (Check his stats on that stats thing on Mongrel Punt — astounding. Bluey or Phoenix for the Kevin Sheedy Award in October). Nevertheless... T'was still a loss, and losses mean only one thing: we must galvanise and come together. This week: literally, for once. Join Rags and Orca as they go DEEP WITHIN THE BOWELS OF THE BEANSTALK to commiserate, speculate, and provide the usual unauthorised and uninformed opinions. PLUS: INTERVIEWS WITH THE BANNER CREW!!! The heart and soul of the club. Absolute legends. Great to get them on the pod. AND A NEW SONG FROM BRAVO BISON!!! We turn our eyes to the Blues. Let's get to the Beanstalk on Saturday arvo and have it rockin and rollin as the Giants look to bounce back. The timeslot, the weather, the fact it’s almost July — and we never lose in July — all shapes as a cracker. Plus, Hoges has a point to prove. And Stormy is the best player in the AFL. We love you, Toby. Don’t leave us, Toby. Drinks and spearfishing are on us, Toby. Never Surrender. ---- To get in contact, drop us an email, comment on Spotify or message us on X.

    NO. 128 - 2026 - R13: Fresh Off the Bye, Let’s Keep Rollin’... Split the Kayo Screen and Bring on the Saints!

    Just when we were gaining some momentum, fresh off the Road Train back from Alice, we put our feet up and forgot about footy for a week... And then the AFL decided to put the Giants on at the same time the Socceroos kick off their World Cup campaign. Will our heads be elsewhere? Toby has confirmed: yes, this is likely. Will the Tsunami retreat to a gentle lapping on the fringes of the Marvel turf? There’s every chance. Hypothetically, technically and realistically, we should continue to march up the ladder given the big ins this week, the form that’s been building, and the fact that the Saints would be demoralised after letting that one slip against the Swannies. And three Ls in a row. Ouch. Plus, we’re just a better side than the Saints. But nothing is a given in this beautiful, chaotic, unpredictable sport called Australian Rules Football. And nothing is predictable — other than the Giants making the top four and going on to win our first cup — with this enigmatic team known as the GREATER Western Sydney Giants. Is this stressful? Sure. Do we love it? You bet. Gamble responsibly. So sit back, split the Kayo screen down the middle, mute the soccer, and enjoy Finn slicing the Saints to pieces, Hoges coming back and kicking a baker’s dozen, and maybe something special from Gothard once again...
