    NO. 140 - 2026 EMERGENCY POD: Toby Greene leaves GWS for Geelong

    We knew it might be coming. That doesn't make it hurt any less. Toby Greene has told the GIANTS he's leaving GWS and heading to Geelong, bringing one of the biggest chapters in club history to an end. Sparrow, Ragnar and special guest Yash jump on for an emergency pod to process the news, reflect on Toby's legacy, and speculate on how the Giants look post-TFG. Loyal Listeners have their say, Orca and Needles check in from afar, and we try to make sense of the end of an era. We love you Toby. We'll miss you mate. Stay Strong Orange Army, and remember: Never Surrender. ---- To get in contact, drop us an email, comment on Spotify or message us on X. We love reviews or ratings.

    NO. 139 - 2026 R24: The Season is Done... But THERE IS HOPE! We Think So Anyway... Farewell Briggsy, Hoges & The Package 🧡

    Rags, Sparrow, Orca and POD PRESIDENT NEEDLES 😱 gather in the dust, under the fading glow of the sun setting on Season 2026, to reflect on one simple question: What the hell happened during that shit show? There were moments of joy — THRASHING THE LIONS. Moments of disillusion — Carlton. And moments of shock and horror — West Coast. Essendon. But amid the wreckage, we found some genuine gems. Basilico’s on Parramatta Road.A footballer with a magnificent rat’s tail.And a phoenix rising from the ashes to give us something to believe in... ...until he got injured. Like the rest of the bloody team. So, is there pressure on the players heading into 2027 to drag this club back into September? Of course. But surely the people whose actual job is to get the players fit and ready to play football are under an even bigger microscope? Maybe it really was just bad luck. Or maybe there’s a voodoo witch doctor somewhere in Melbourne sticking pins into tiny orange-and-charcoal dolls. At this point, either feels plausible. Then there’s Toby. Will he stay? We bloody hope so. But after everything that man has given this club, he’s earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants. What. A. Legend. And then come the farewells. Farewell Briggsy. Farewell Hoges. Farewell Package. Thank you kindly for the blood, sweat and tears. Go well, Orange soldiers, into whatever assignments come next. 🧡 And somehow... that brings us here. It feels horribly premature, but this is it. No more songs.No more soliloquies.No more ridiculous late-night essays masquerading as podcast descriptions. Well... until next season. In the meantime — THE WEBSITE IS BACK. 👉 www.thesquinters.com Bigger, better and destined for plenty more tinkering over the off-season. But we want it to look like our club and our supporter base — so send us your photos of the Orange Army, Giants games, away trips, scarves, flags, questionable costumes and whatever else you've captured along the way. 📸 thesquinterspodcast@gmail.com Thank you to everyone who listened, messaged, reviewed, contributed, abused us, corrected us and rode the emotional rollercoaster of 2026 alongside us. Until next season... NEVER SURRENDER. ---- To get in contact, drop us an email, comment on Spotify or message us on X. We love reviews or ratings.

    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.

    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.
