Finally, the 2026 Commonwealth Games have a host city. Glasgow has put their hand up to save the event, with the Victorian government still covering most of the bill. But with a scaled back program of just ten sports, does this spell the end for the Comm Games? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week, the AFL moved swiftly to condemn and sanction players of the GWS Giants men's team for their behaviour during a post-season function. Today on the show, Abbey and Georgie tackle the story head on, reacting to the backlash, the fallout, and sharing their personal perspectives as women in sport. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laura Spurway is back with Abbey to wrap it all up for you, plus a special message from our dear Georgie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the AFL has expanded across the country, one question won't go away: should the Grand Final be moved from the hallowed turf of Melbourne Cricket Ground? There are many arguments 'for' and 'against', from upholding tradition to the unfair advantage it gives Victorian clubs. Today on the show, Abbey is joined once again by Laura Spurway to settle the debate once and for all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the debate that never seems to go away. The Brownlow Medal is the AFL's highest individual honour, awarded to the best and fairest player of the home and away season. But every year, the same question is asked by fans and pundits alike: should it just be awarded to the best player on the field? Should the "fairest" element be scrapped entirely, making suspended players eligible? Abbey is joined once again by Laura Spurway to try and settle the debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australian Oscar Piastri has clinched his second win of his young Formula 1 career, taking out the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Week 1 of AFL Finals is in the can, and it provided a ton of headlines and left many questions. Will Geelong ever need a rebuild? Is Ken Hinkley on his way out at Port Adelaide, regardless is they beat the Hawks on Friday night? And what on earth is Hok-Ball?! All that and more on this weeks show, as Abbey Gelmi is joined by sports journo Laura Spurway to break it all down. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Athlete endorsements are nothing new in the sports world. From Michael Jordan to Caitlin Clarke, sports stars are more than just athletes, they're mega influencers and brands want a piece of the pie. But can you blame them for wanting to cash in while they can? Well, Australia certainly loves to cut down a tall poppy. So today on the show, Abbey and Georgie take a look at the biggest examples of star power in sports, and whether or not Aussie fans can truly embrace the off-field profile of our own athletes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've had the entree, now get ready for the main course. The Para Games are almost here! Georgie and Abbey have you covered with the key details you need to know about the Paralympics and the star Aussie athletes set to shine in Paris. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was hard to avoid the headlines when a social media storm surrounded Algerian boxer Imane Khelif at the Paris Olympics earlier this month. After her first round opponent, Italy's Angela Carini, quit in a flood of tears just seconds into the bout, Khelif faced attacks over her gender. Misinformation quickly spread online and reignited the debate over gender and sports. But the real story of Imane Khelif is one of dignity and honour.  Further reading: Running in a Body That's My Own, Caster Semenya essaySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's no secret that rugby in Australia isn't in great shape. But things just got worse for the game with the axing of the Melbourne Rebels. The club are no more, and won't be competing in Super Rugby next season. Executives say they're still committed to growing the sport in Victoria but the loss of the Rebels points to even bigger issues for rugby in Australia. So, with a home World Cup on the horizon in 2027, can the game bounce back?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So what's going on? And why are female athletes more likely to suffer the dreaded knee injury?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're taking a break this week but we didn't want to leave you hanging. With the Premier League season all wrapped up, we thought it was a good time to revisit one of our best episodes from last year on Ange Postecoglou.

Our men's Olympic football team, the Olyroos, have failed to make the cut for this year's Games in Paris. The team didn't win a match or score a single goal in their quest to qualify.

Caitlin Clark broke countless records in college ball, prompting Shaquille O'Neal to proclaim her as "the best female collegiate player ever".
