Unpacking the insane State of Origin Game 1 moments, French Open diamonds and Making Essendon Great Again
28/05/2026 | 33 mins.
We put State of Origin Game I on trial, breaking down the Kalyn Ponga send‑off, Nathan Cleary’s match‑turning moments, and whether New South Wales truly deserved the win. At Roland‑Garros, Aryna Sabalenka was wearing diamonds while calling for increased prize money - it sparked a conversation about double standards and the economics of tennis, but why can't women just support women? Novak or Janik never got asked those questions. In Formula One, we explain why tension, rivalries and team politics are central to the sport’s appeal. And in the AFL, we examine Essendon’s coaching crossroads, the resurgence of the James Hird debate, and what it says about identity, nostalgia and unfinished business in football.

The Women's Maroons on hungover fan meets, smutty BookTok and how to get State of Origin where it belongs
25/05/2026 | 21 mins.
Ahead of Game III of the 2026 Women’s State of Origin, Georgie is joined by Jess Elliston, Lauren Brown and Jada Ferguson for a very Queensland conversation about heartbreak, pride, and why this game still matters even when the series is quote/unquote 'gone'. The girls talk about what camp feels like after a tough loss, the unspoken no‑dickheads policy, and why you’d still run through a wall for the jersey. Plus, there’s chat about debuting for Queensland, copping nonsense online (why are the trolls always called Kevin?), and why starting a season with an Origin series makes absolutely no sense. There are Broncos premiership flashbacks, security being outrun, meeting fans behind a pair of sunnies at 7am, and a late‑episode pivot into smutty BookTok that nobody was prepared for.

Glaring State of Origin omissions, a 46 year-old goalkeeper and which NRL star should the Bears entice to Perth?
21/05/2026 | 24 mins.
State of Origin is almost here, and the biggest talking point is Georgie's husband* being left out the Queensland squad. We break down the Origin selections, what the notable player absences means for the Blues and Maroons, and how Billy Slater might be thinking about form, fitness and the long game. Sam Kerr got the perfect farewell at Chelsea with a goal, as she looks ahead to the next stage of her career, there were flowers for Matildas legend Melissa Barbieri - an A-League champion at 46 years old, and Ross Lyon surprised everyone when he revealed a Labubu obsession. And we are sending so much love to Jai Arrow, his family and teammates, as he revealed a devastating MND diagnosis. It highlights the power of sport and the importance of the Big Freeze - we're talking with Bec Daniher next week to hear all about the event and the incredible work the organisation does. *Reece Walsh

$500,000 worth of AFL guernsey, and who'd be a coach?
14/05/2026 | 28 mins.
Scott Pendlebury’s milestone weekend is coming up; his record-breaking game approaches and it's ignited a debate on the proceeds from the sale of match‑worn guernseys, some expected to fetch eye‑watering prices. We chime in with our thoughts on player branding, and where the league draws the line on personal profit. It was also a brutal week for coaches. Michael Voss’ exit at Carlton, Ivan Cleary’s surprise decision to step away from Penrith, and ongoing pressure across both codes shows how unforgiving the job can be. Add serious injury concerns, fan backlash and endless speculation, and it was a hectic week if you're in charge of a footy team.
