Season on life support, down by almost 40 points, the boys eat some quarter time oranges, then BANG!!! Kingers doesn't know what happened. So lets spill the beans... Darcy. Friggin. Jones. That's what happened. He's so exciting to watch. He's electric. So friggin fast. When he's near the action, stuff happens. Good stuff. Great stuff. Give him the Rising Star. A statue on Australia Ave. The keys to the Rooty Hill Rissole. So we're back baby!, well this week anyway, cause our mate Ragnor Lothbrok, texted "we need to discuss Darcy Jones"...., so here's that discussion, and some. You're welcome.

Well, the season has OFFICIALLY started. Injuries are becoming a thing once again; we've got actual opposition to test us; and the proverbial roar from the Golden Egg is once again reverberating through the streets of Kingston (for the last minute anyway).

This week features A SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL EDITION all the way from South Africa, featuring Needles, and long time Squinters Mal Michael, Coco and Bubs, all the way from South Africa.

Give us a Hoodoo. BOOM! A bogey ground. SMASH!! Any bloody challenge. KABANG!!! Kingers doesn't give a rats rear about said hoodoos and our short but rich history of bogey teams, haunted grounds and other witch craftery cast upon us. Give us a challenge and we'll meet it. Give us a road trip and we'll galvanize. Give us the most hyped draft pick since Richard Lounder in '87 and we'll take his head off. Well done X. Join Needles, Sparrow, and...... RAGNAR LOTHBROK(!!), back from his defection to the Devils to talk all things Orange Army, as we reflect on the demolition of the Eagles in Perth, the season so far, and speculate on the hype we've earnt. -------- YOU CAN NOW SUPPORT THE POD!!!!!

"They're playing Harlem Globetrotter footy. It's relentless." David King (SEN), 18th March, 2024. You Get A Goal..., And You Get A Goal..., And You Get A Goal...., EVERYBODY GETS A GOAL!!! Well, nearly everybody (sorry POTUS. So close

"Collllliinnn-GIIIIAAANNNTSSS..., GIIIIAAANNNTSSS..., GIIIIAAANNNTSSS..." The Beanstalk, Round 0 2024. Our new most hated team (sorry Doggies, we'll focus on you later), came and GOT SPANKED!!! That'll shut em up, and make Cox shrink down South to where he belongs (doesn't deserve to be in the cow paddock quite frankly). Join Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar Lothbrok as we dive into game 0 (1??) for the year between Collingwood and the Giants, a game which saw us start a little slowly, then off the boot of an Irishman demolish the Premiers with a resounding 114-82 victory at a pumping Beanstalk. Rags does his best to spoil the party and temper our excitement; Ragnar's Maths gets an insert from Needles via Rohan Connelly; we kinda sorta shoulda mention you guys can sponsor us if you feel inclined (details on that at a later date); and of course we look forward to our next assignment against the Shinboners at The Beanstalk on a family friendly Saturday Arvo.

Looks weird dunnit? Round 0. But that's where we're at. Pre Round 1 2024. Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar have put away the speedos, and dusted off the microphones. Off season's done; sand dunes have been summited; Bay Run's been run 1000 times; Cads has lifted plenty and gotten massive; and Tobe's and Cog's are now Dad's...

Join Sparrow, Needles, Ragnar and special guest Bangers as we discuss the upcoming 2023 AFL Draft. The GWS Giants hold picks 7 (thank you Richmond), 16, 43, 59, 77, 79, 95. Who do we like? What's the predications for the talent headed to Homebush? What needs do we need to focus on? Usually we're unauthorised, unfiltered and uninformed, but this week we actually present rare insight and informed opinions. We, as in Bangers, who turns out is a genuine draft guru. See his work at https://central.rookieme.com/afl/2023-afl-draft-guide/ You're welcome.

"That one hurts. That one really hurts”. Toby Greene. Moments like these cut deep. But we get off the canvas. We band together. We dust off the mics and console each other. We rally as the Orange Army. It was just one head decapitation too many... But man were they courageous. Plenty to be proud of and look forward to. And plenty to talk about. Join Needles, Sparrow & Ragnar as we reflect and discuss all matters pertaining to the Orange Crush.

Join Needles, Ragnar Lothbrok and the Soaring Sparrow as we reflect on the loss in the Battle Of The Bridge..., but MORE IMPORTANTLY, RAGNAR HAS RECORDED A NEW SONG!!! Likely to be on the A-Side of the Squinters debut cassette, it's a moving tribute to Harry Himmleberg signing up for the long haul and for premiership glory with the boys in Orange and Charcoal. We've packed plenty into this one, including the naming of our INAUGURAL PRIZE WINNER!!! This is getting real. And an exclusive...., Ragnar's Bake this week comes from deep in the bowels of the Beanstalk. Inspirational stuff. Unfortunately it didn't achieve the desired outcome, but we move on quickly to next week in Adelaide... Enjoy and give us a rating and/or review wherever you're listening.

What do you do when you are on the only GWS Giants AFL fanpod and the Giants win again away (Ballarat - we lost to the Suns there!) for the 7th time in a row, coming from further back and faster than Silky Sullivan to do one over the Bulldogs? You have a very lovely time picking it over and launching some competitions to wins some Giants merchandise. That's what you do.

Join us as we celebrate the BREAKING OF THE CLARKSON CANBERRA CURSE!! It all started with Jeremy Cameron's sulking bottom lip frozen to the Manuka turf back in 2019, and Alistair Clarkson running laps in the snow in his undies, starting a wicked curse that lasted 4 long years. And yet the Canberra Orange Army still turned up in droves - what legends! Now Toby 'He's Our Leader' Greene has risen above the hoodoo on a glorious Canberra winter's day, delivering a mighty performance, smashing the Suns back to mediocrity, and continuing our charge towards action in September. So much to savour. Also, THERE'S A RAGNAR BANGER EASTER EGG hidden in the episode. He's delivered, once again. You're Welcome Enjoy and give us a rating and/or review wherever you're listening.

Never Surrender by the Squinters is the only GWS Giants AFL fan podcast, and we have a few announcements: 1. The greatest thing you ever heard is at the end of this pod. If you only listen to one bit in 2023, listen to 'He's Our Leader.' You're Welcome. 2. The breaking newsflash that we forgot to talk about was Lachie Ash re-signing. 3. Needles is back! To everyone's relief no doubt, with Ragnar and the Sparrow (who apparently has a missus sparrow, who thinks HH is a nice guy). 4. This was a really fun pod to do, because winning hard games is lots of fun. 5. We have twitter contributions! Get involved, like that random guy who sounds only a tiny bit like Bubs and an Adelaide supporter who was grudgingly appreciative of the magic that is Giants 2.0. @theSquinters, neversurrenderpod@gmail.com. 6. Why settle for 5 in a row when you can make it 6! ***Rate us with all the stars on all the usual places*** never surrender

On the back of our rejuvenated Italian rabbit (who's back to career best form), the reliable mittens of Hoges, and Riccas chiming in with a few, we have once again fought off a pesky bunch of brown and gold chicklings. And how bout that Octopus?!! Tentacles latching onto anything and everything. Then there was Breadsy taping to Rabbit for a goal Barella would be proud of. They were brave but no match for the rising Orange Tsunami. That makes it four in a row, and if that's not evidence of #TaylorsProphecy from Slamin Sam the Soothsayer, then I don't know what is. Enjoy the reflections and analysis from Sparrow and Ragnar as Needles recovers on the bench. We'd love your ratings and reviews on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. And send your voice recordings in via Twitter messages (https://twitter.com/TheSquinters). If you're keen to sponsor the show, get in touch at admin@thesquinters.com. Never Surrender

This podcast starts with an ODE!!! Sparrow on poetical fire. #waveon. Did you see that? We interviewed the Milkman and then the GWS Giants hung in there and gutsed out a win in the pouring rain in 8 degrees centigrade at Traeger Park in Alice Springs in the middle of a desert. Is it a coincidence? (imagine thinking face emoji) Every possible angle in every possible universe is picked over by Ragnar Lothbrok, Sparrow and Needles in a forensic hour of fascinating football banter. Never Surrender by the Squinters is the world's best GWS Giants AFL fan-made podcast and we know it. And now that Ragnar has migrated from angry email writing fan to embittered podcast pundit, there is room in our inbox for YOU! Neversurenderpod@gmail.com

Yeah, we've only gone and dunnit - had a chat, like absolute bosses, with a forrealz GWS Giant, the one and only, Jason 'the Milkman' 'El Lechero' 'The Balranald Boy' Gillbee!!! Total legend. He's our favourite. Was concussed when we spoke last week, currently carving his way into first grade through the magoos. There's mysteries - so many mysteries, exclusives - bombshells everywhere, and fair dinkum insights. We (Ragnar, Needles and Der Spatz) loved it, he's a champ, and we hope he goes well. Never Surrender by the Squinters is the only GWS Giants AFL podcast by fans, for fans - a fancast, if you will, and the best one. But we gotta thank Jaso, Zelly and the Giants for being cool with making this happen. You guys are alright. xoxo

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Never Surrender by the Squinters is the only GWS Giants FanCast on the entire interweb. And he called it! Didn't he? Sam Taylor only bloody called it! Needles, Ragnar and Der Spatz review the glorious match against Freo - our best game in years and lick our lips about what's coming (hashtag flag). Have a listen to hear what three very satisfied young men sound like (see above). Lovely. Also have a listen to Needles's cameo on the Purple Reign podcast last Thursday, biggin' up the Orange Boys to the Westizens: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lUwfZaDKjgqLR5JOZ3QDn And then email to neversurrenderpod@gmail.com your answer to following chin-stroker: who would win a fight in a 50m pool filled waist high - a Great White Shark or a Polar Bear?

This episode of Never Surrender by the Squinters, the only GWS Giants AFL fancast, may or may not be 40 minutes of Needles and Der Spatzl listening to Ragnar Lodbrok's heavingly emotional paean to Callum Brown. Either way, worth it. neversurrenderpod@gmail.com

neversurrenderpod@gmail.com. Send (us) it. Never Surrender by the Squinters, the only AFL GWS Giants FanCast, presented this week by Ragnar Loftbrok, Der Spatz, Dr Nangs and Needles. So I don't get it. We lost again, at home, to a team (who were) below us on the ladder and have had a terrible fortnight, who we need to beat to improve their (our) draft pick and are the fourth enemy in Der Spatz's Big 4 Baddies we need to beat to win a season if we miss out on the flag ('Pies, Swans, Dogs, Tiges), and bloody Ragnar's all like "yeah, nah it's all good.' Even Dr Nangs, who was at the bloody game and watched the loss, is the coolest thing unhung about it all and want's Breadsy's babies. Swear to god, if we get done by the Kanga's this weekend, I'm going to have a stroke (even though I won't be watching it, obvs - but Ragnar will be, because he'll be there, having takec his longboat for a raid up Stormzy's Bay, a spot of golf and a bit of footy - nice Viking life if you can get it, I guess).

Some Squinters watch State of Origin (we're moving one to the next game), some Squinters do a pod called Never Surrender by the Squinters - the OnlyFan's (wait...is that right?) GWS Giants AFL podcast, some Squinters do both, and some Squinters leave Adelaide on State of Origin night to do a pod. There are all those sorts of Squinters - ie; Ragnar Lofbrock, Der Spatz and Needles - on this pod - a bit delayed because we have lives, OK - patience, padawans - gathered here to talk about stuffing the Cats RIGHT UP again, at Geelong. Everyone was good, Toby was great, and we didn't pick up anyone in the mid-season. Find out why, right here, right now. Neversurrenderpod@gmail.com. Send in an opinion. You won't.

Never Surrender by the Squinters - the best, also, the only, fan & ChatGPT-produced GWS Giants AFL global podcast. Unauthorised, unfiltered and uninformed since 2019. And for the first time since then, two shows in a row! It's Ragnar - he's brought energy, opinions, and bloodthirsty ruthlessness - if we finish higher than 12th - and if we don't beat North at Hobart soon that will become a stretch goal anyway - he'll be pissed. Find out why, and all about how the youthful orange shoots sprouting at the club, and the Death-Riding Richmond stream on Big Footy. Neversurrenderpod@gmail.com. Send in an opinion. Dare you.

Never Surrender by the Squinters is the best (and only) fan-produced GWS Giants AFL podcast on the whole interweb. Proudly unauthorised (and - so far - unsponsored but if any Giants fan owns a company and wants amazing publicity for a nominal sponsorship landing all the Squinters in clover then come running at NEVERSURRENDERPOD@GMAIL.COM), always unfiltered and utterly uninformed. Until now. Yes, you're surprised that Needles and Sparrow are doing a pod after a pantsing. In truth, so were we and did wish we could have introduced our very, very special quasi-mythic Scandanavian Raider under more winning circumstances, but that's as maybe, our Viking bro was ready to go. He's got insights, provocative (if not inflammatory) opinions, hairy breeches and, as recorded on this pod, is going to owe Needles 50 dollarbucks. I foresee spicy scenes. Horn's up!

Bubs was there! He saw Toby Greene do the things! for real! and he has opinions about who was good (we like snooze) and who was less good (also about Lawso's Copenhagen cold take on Lachie Ash) and he shares them with Needles on the only GWS Giants AFL podcast, Never Surrender by the Squinters!

There's a lot to be angry out, and the Squinters - your hosts of your favourite GWS Giants fan-made AFL podcast (because its still the only one), Never Surrender by the Squinters, are angry with you. Not only are we the first podcast ever to use ChatGPT for their content in an attempt to get a runningstart at bowing down to our AI overlords, but, we ask, is this all there is to look forward to, they ask, endless St. Kildan mediocrity (wait...), who's coming in for Jake Ricciardi, was giving up Jezza for an unprecedented draft haul not the haul, unprecedented or otherwise, everyone bar David King thought it would be, and Freo can wrap an anchor in their rip-off 'stealth' guernsey and stick up their arse. Sideways. That's enough to be going with, we think.

It's 'Never Surrender by the Squinters' (again) - the self-styled greatest (only) GWS Giants AFL podcast done by fans, for...mostly themselves (ie; fans) talking about an Adelaide game (again) that we won (again). You'd think there'd be less to talk about - everyone was GREAT! - but in fact there was, Bartman was in surgery, Needles was on the road and the Sparrow was at the game in the shade with the 60,000 other patrons. Good times, good chats. The lads get a lot of love.

So Mainstream AFL Media has again been lured into some very Squinters-shaped rox by our siren song. Here is a little orange amuse bouche from Sparrow and Needles about how the GWS Giants are going to have a rebuilding year by winning the flag in a scrappy fashion (thank-you Lawso and Coco) that we recorded it for the Sporting News, which may or may not be a thing, but the guy, Aiden, who asked us to do it had lots of Sporting News-type words in his email address so it could be kosher. Anyway, we dunno if his mob is going to post it or not - it might be too cutting-edge, too unfiltered - and we was going to leave it, but Sparrow leaned into Needles and put the hard word on him, so here it is! Happy Aussie Rules.

Well. That really escalated, didn't it? Growler, calling for #LeonOut since 2010, got his man yesterday morning when Coach Cameron pulled the pin. This pod is for Lawso who immediately joined Coco on the ledge and started regretting what he had wished for, called for an emergency pod and then promptly made himself unavailable. The Squinters were the first in Australia to know about it because, even as Growler was cleaning off the knives he's extracted from Leon's back, we got the head's-up from Coco in Pennsylvania - who patches into this emergency podcast of 'Never Surrender by the Squinters'* from his breakfast table - joining Sparrow and Needy for some unfiltered and uninformed reax (if not unoriginal, because for the second time ever, yet consecutively, record on Zoom was not pushed) and views. This pod - the only GWS AFL fan pod - has (1) a recount of Sparrow's experience at the press conference hiding his pitchfork under his jacket - and (2) Sparrow's five point plan for GWS's giant success and flags in 2023/24, which is now a three-point plan because we sorted points 1 and 5. OK. What's next?

THIS is the Never Surrender by the Squinters Alex Williams tribute pod. A GWS Giants AFL podcast inspired by Alex Williams, demanded by Alex Williams and dedicated to Alex Williams. Like they say Alex Williams, be careful what you wish for. He asked Sparrow why we hadn't dropped a post-Adelaide smashing revel in the glory. Sparrow said it was in the can. Sparrow was lying. Feeling guilty about his ... "mistruths", Sparrow was joined by Needles and Bartman live from Portugal to pontificate about the Adelaide game and give views about the Geelong game.
