The Howie Games

One of our great Australian characters in full flight! From delivering pizzas in a 1971 Datsun to making double tons, Jason Gillespie has done it all—and then some. Dizzy opens up on that iconic nickname, his current obsession with pan-fried veggie dumplings, and his love of old-school wrestling and Bernard Fanning. He shares wisdom from his late father, pays tribute to Malcolm Marshall, and lets us in on jaw-dropping moments with Hugh Jackman inside the Lord’s changerooms. Plus: the hardest batters he bowled to, the bowlers who made him sweat, plus, a nice plug for that unforgettable double century. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He had a dream. And is living it. Matt Hill is the voice behind some of the best moments in Australian sport. He is already a broadcasting icon. But, he is an even better bloke. And he explains the dream he is living, brilliantly. From calling races around the hallways as a kid, to voicing the Melbourne Cup, Olympics and footy and plenty more sports (wait until you hear the list!). Matt Hill is the dream chaser who never gave up — even when he was on the dole or facing a life-threatening health scare at the Beijing Games. This is a powerful story of grit, passion, and pure love for sport. A master of the mic… who’s still just a fan at heart. Thanks Matty!

Knocked down time after time—and still, he got back up. And guess what? He went on to represent his country at the highest level, performing to the highest possible standard. Alex Carey is living proof that you are not defined by your setbacks, but by how you respond to them. When his AFL dreams were cut short, his state cricket contract torn up, and he found himself playing for just a dollar a run—he kept going. He pushed through it all and earned the ultimate reward: the baggy green. Ashes wins. A World Cup. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy. A World Test Championship. BBL Titles and Sheffield Shieds. Alex Carey achieved more than most dream of—well beyond his original goal of playing AFL. Even better? He's a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Alex Tyson Carey—this story couldn't come from a better bloke. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But, before we get to the full story - which will surprise you and hopefully lift you - let's do what the former Collingwood and Carlton footballer does best - have a bit of a laugh.

Recorded on August 6, 2016, at 6:24PM in the West Indies, this chat with Mike Haysman was meant to be one of the first-ever episodes… until Howie forgot to label the files. They were lost. And now they are found. And some stories are too good to stay buried. Before he became one of cricket’s most respected broadcasters, Haysy was a cricketer tipped to be the next big thing in Australian cricket, a man who received handwritten notes from Sir Donald Bradman, took part in the infamous rebel tour of South Africa, and once called a match with $20 million riding on it. This episode takes you back to Howie’s first international commentary gig, where Mike Haysman took him under his wing before they sat down for this very conversation. So, off we go to Saint Kitts in the West Indies—where the rum was ready, the stories are golden, and the lost files finally see the light of day. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It all leads to this. The grind. The sacrifice. The hill sprints. The saunas and the ice baths. The relentless pursuit of greatness. Pendles takes us behind the curtain as the pre-season journey transforms into game day reality. Inside the team meetings, through the nerves, and into the pages of his game day diary—20 years in the making. From a pre-season hit-out against Richmond to the real deal: Opening Round against the GWS Giants. The final preparations for game day. The airport. Waking up in Sydney. Finding the coffee shop for the team. The nerves from the hotel room. The smells and feelings of the match itself. And even the car ride home. The pre-season is officially done. Now, the marathon is underway. Thanks Pendles. ** Collingwood is also welcoming fans into their inner sanctum during the 2025 AFL pre-season through their new docuseries, 'The Grind'. The Grind is now live and available to watch on the Collingwood Football Club YouTube channel. ** If you have arrived at episode eight, head back to the episode one to hear the full journey.

The mind games. The pressure. The expectations—external and internal. The mentality. It's another key part to twenty seasons at the top. Pendles opens up on his mental blueprint: from setting a simple goal of playing ten games in year one to breaking superstitions along the way. He reveals how he’s handled the media and social media noise across his career. Plus, a pre-season trip to the Gold Coast for match simulation as the season creeps closer. This is next-level insight from a generational great. ** If you have arrived at episode seven, head back to the beginning to hear the full journey. Pendlebury: Beyond 400 release schedule.

A deep dive into one of the secret weapons of longevity—sleep. Or in this case, the brutal reality of not getting enough. Pendles is wrecked. One of the hardest sessions yet. Neck is sore. Feet hurt. Sleep? Non-existent. But this is why you push. This is why you harden your body in pre-season—to survive 25 weeks of AFL warfare. So, what’s next? Walk it off. Hit the sauna. Hot and colds. Family time. Then onto the bike… and what happens next might just surprise you. Plus, an elite breakdown of what fuels a champion. The nutrition, the tweaks, the sacrifices. The reason he’s still here after 20 years. Pendlebury: Beyond 400—no shortcuts, no secrets. Just the work. If you have arrived at episode five, head back to the beginning to hear the full journey.

Here comes the pain of pre-season. A sore knee that won’t quit. Hard training when the body says no. The cameras see the athlete. The crowd sees the champion. But what about the dad, the husband and the mate? Pendles takes the kids to work, offering a rare glimpse into the balance between footy and family at Collingwood. Meanwhile, Howie flips the script—turning to Alex, Pendles' wife, for the real story on sacrifice, commitment, and the emotional toll of 20 years at the top. Grinding through pain. Soaking up family time. This is the other side of the game like you might not have never heard.

Hear from Mick Malthouse, Nathan Buckley and Craig McRae as they help take us inside Scott Pendlebury's twenty year pursuit. From Mick Malthouse’s old-school grit to Nathan Buckley’s tactical precision to Craig McRae’s modern approach—Scott Pendlebury has lived through a change in the pre-season approach. He takes us on a journey behind the science, the strategy and the sheer brutality of AFL pre-seasons. High-altitude camps that pushed bodies to the edge. The shifting demands of the game. The way preparation has transformed—and the toll it still takes. This episode isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a front-row seat to two decades of relentless evolution, told by the men who have watched it all. 20-years. Three coaches. A game that has never stopped evolving.

Christmas isn’t an off-season—it’s just another checkpoint in the pursuit of greatness. Pendles takes us inside the mental game. The lessons from Paul Licuria. The art of pushing yourself beyond comfort. Learning to enjoy the hurt. Plus his Christmas discipline. And, one last brutal leg session at 6AM before heading to Bali with the family. A run in the heat on arrival. The break - if you even call it that - is short-lived. A bout of Bali belly on return, and the focus sharpens—dialling in on nutrition, training, and even watching Fox Footy in the background, feeling the season closing in.

It’s Saturday morning, and the grind doesn’t stop. It's professional athlete insights like you have never heard before. 10K on the trails, lungs burning, legs heavy—then straight into hill sprints. The body’s screaming, fighting back the saliva, but Pendles pushes through. No shortcuts, no excuses. Then? Flip the schedule. Straight from elite-level training to coaching the under-9s. Remember that basketball background? Then, we dive deep into the flow of match play, tackling drills, and the arrival of Perryman at the Pies. Plus, a rare glimpse into the human side of the grind—shuffling sessions to make the kids Christmas concert, wrapping up the school year with family. And then there’s the Christmas present nobody asked for: The fitness staff’s gift—a monster session designed to break even the fittest. Plus, ice baths, saunas, and survival mode.
