State of Origin: One of the Greatest Wins in Sport
Georgie’s supported the Maroons for more than 30 years — and they’ve just delivered one of the greatest wins in sport. Like Blues tears through a leaky sieve, this was a victory full of emotion, defiance, and deep humanity. With personal tragedy at the heart of the Maroons' motivation, this win wasn't just about rugby league — it was about resilience, connection, and playing for something bigger. “Harvey Norman love sport.

Waleed Aly Has Entered the Podcast Arena
It’s, sadly, the final week of The Project, and to celebrate/commiserate, we’re joined by a very special guest: journalist, academic, broadcaster, Gold Logie winner, walking fun fact generator, and yes, former Richmond Tigers mascot, Waleed Aly. In this very extended episode, Waleed reflects on more than a decade behind the desk, saying goodbye, and the art of compartmentalising on live television. Plus, we dig into his sporting obsessions, his time inside a mascot suit, his unexpected Elmo bromance, and why The Project meant more than just prime-time news.

Where Does Commentary End and Character Assassination Begin?
We kick off with the chaos and glory of State of Origin II: the heartbreaks, the triumphs, and yes, the media pile-on. We break down the tension brewing between Billy Slater and Aaron Woods, and we ask the big question: where does commentary end and character assassination begin? Also, Georgie’s cooked up an iconic Axis of Evil and Good — can you guess where Perth’s weather lands?

We Manifested ANTHONY ALBANESE!!

We speak about his lifelong love of sport, the wild crossover between politics and play, and of course, his unshakable loyalty to the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Albo shows us he’s not just a sports fan — he’s one of us.
