    2025 AFL Fixture Focus: "Throwing Hands"

    We tear open the fixture and rip North a new one for gifting their Western opponents home games.  Note a couple particularly easy schedules for Victorian clubs, as well as the new bye structure. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/americans-watching-footy/support

    OCT 17

    2024 AFL Trade Period Recap: "Where's My LCOEMWE?"

    Our favorite word from this time last year was nowhere to be seen, but plenty of trade action still transpired — eventually.

  5. 2024 AFL Grand Final Recap: "OTHER COACHES HATE HIM"

    OCT 2

    2024 AFL Grand Final Recap: "OTHER COACHES HATE HIM"

    With no fewer than 23 simple tricks, Chris Fagan transformed his Lions from 0–3 to premiers! We had very different Grand Final viewing experiences, so that helped feed into our game breakdowns. We also send off the 2024 men's season with postmortems of the last two clubs.

  6. 2024 AFL Grand Final Preview: "Bogan Wines"

    SEP 27

    2024 AFL Grand Final Preview: "Bogan Wines"

    It's state v state and chaos v control as the grand final approaches. Victorians may see it's 125 years in the making, but it's honestly got a much longer story than that. Plus, we look back on the prelim losers and hash out some Brownlow discourse.

    AFL: America's Brownlow Night 2024

    In which two California brothers rank the top 3 players of each and every AFL game in 2024. Yes, we really did this — and it's much faster and better paced than whatever the "real" Brownlow was the night before.

  8. 2024 AFL Preliminary Finals Recap: "The Poort Cloud"

    SEP 24

    2024 AFL Preliminary Finals Recap: "The Poort Cloud"

    Maybe it'll take a voyage to outer space for the Power to fix the problems that are right under their nose. Or maybe they just need a fresh set of eyes on things, because it seems obvious to us — and the Swans. Saturday's prelim delivered much more on the drama, setting up a Grand Final matchup some people say coming… just taking a more twisting path to get there.
