The stage is set, the early-season hype is meeting the reality of the grind, and the ladder is already starting to tell a story—welcome to Round 3 of the 2026 AFL Season! The Kick to Kick Podcast is back to find the soul of this week's matchups by obsessive time-traveling. We're stripping away the 5G stadium tech to revisit the mud, the heritage, and the very first sparks of these rivalries. Collingwood vs. GWS Giants: We revisit Round 18, 2012, at the MCG for the first-ever meeting between the league's oldest powerhouse and its newest expansion. It was a "welcome to the big leagues" masterclass from a prime Magpies outfit against a GWS side full of teenagers still finding their AFL feet. Fremantle vs. Richmond: We return to Round 1, 1995, for the Dockers' inaugural AFL match at the MCG. The Tigers spoiled the newcomers' debut by a mere five points, sparking a cross-continental rivalry defined by three decades of heart-stopping finishes and "what-if" moments. Port Adelaide vs. West Coast: We look back at Round 15, 1997, when the SANFL giants met the AFL's first interstate powerhouse for the first time. Played at Subiaco, it was a brutal, defensive grind that proved the "New Port" wasn't just joining the league to participate—they were there to challenge the established order.

The overreactions are in, the ladder is moving, and the winter grind is officially here—welcome to Round 2 of the 2026 AFL Season! The Kick to Kick Podcast is back to find the soul of this week's matchups by obsessing over the past. We're stripping away the modern gloss to revisit the mud, the heritage, and the first sparks of these legendary rivalries. This week, we're breaking down: St Kilda vs. Geelong: We return to Round 10, 1897, for the very first VFL-era clash between these teams. It was a gritty, low-scoring affair at Corio Oval that established Geelong's early dominance over the developing Saints. Adelaide Crows vs. Brisbane Lions: We revisit Round 5, 1997, a season where both clubs were defining their modern identities. It was a tactical masterclass by Malcolm Blight's Crows against a newly merged Lions outfit still finding its roar. Western Bulldogs vs. Gold Coast Suns: We look back at Round 3, 2011, when a prime Robert Murphy led the Dogs against a teenage Gary Ablett Jr. and the fledgling Suns. It was a "welcome to the big leagues" moment that showed the gap between the old guard and the new. Sydney Swans vs. Essendon: We go back to Round 1, 1982, for the Swans' home game at the SCG. As the "Bloodshot" South Melbourne identity officially began its transformation into the Sydney powerhouse we know today.

The AFL Season is Underway, well for half of the Teams in Opening Round. We got to see half the teams played and we witnessed some smashing's where teams showed us what they are capable of this season and 2 really close hard fought games. Join Tricky as he reviews all of the games from Opening Round, touching on topics such as: - Carlton's Big Problem - Petracca Brownlow Watch?- Hawks still has the Missing Piece - A new Top 10 Player- Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera's first challenge + Much More

The engine is warm, the cobwebs are gone, and now the real grind begins—welcome to Round 1 of the 2026 AFL Season! The Kick to Kick Podcast is back for the main event. After a high-octane Opening Round, we're settling into the rhythm of the season by doing what we do best: honoring the future by obsessing over the past. This week, we travel back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries to see how these legendary rivalries first sparked to life. This week, we're breaking down: Carlton vs. Richmond: We look back at the origins of the "Traditional" season opener. Before it was a Thursday night blockbuster, it was a battle for inner-city bragging rights. We retrace their first official VFL encounter in Round 1, 1908, where the Tigers made their league debut against the reigning premier Blues. Essendon vs. Hawthorn: A rivalry built on "Line in the Sand" moments. We head back to Round 4, 1925, the first time the Mayblooms (as they were then known) met the powerhouse Mosquitto Fleet, long before the blood-and-thunder of the 80s took over. Collingwood vs. Adelaide Crows: A modern classic with a relatively short history. We revisit Round 15, 1991, when the new kids from South Australia first stepped onto Victoria Park to face the reigning premiers in a true culture shock. Melbourne vs. St Kilda: Two of the oldest clubs in the land. We go all the way back to Round 1, 1897—the very first weekend of VFL football—to see how the Dees and Saints started a century-plus of competition. Gold Coast Suns vs. West Coast Eagles: From the expansion era to now. We look back at Round 11, 2011, their inaugural clash at Subiaco, and how the pecking order has shifted in the 15 years since.

In this episode of Life of Brain, we're joined by one of Australia's most recognisable sports broadcasters and storytellers, Hamish McLachlan. From calling the biggest moments in AFL, tennis and the Olympic Games to navigating life behind the microphone, Hamish shares the experiences, lessons and mindset that have shaped his career both on and off the screen. We dive into the pressure of live television, the art of connecting with audiences, the evolving media landscape, and what success really looks like beyond the spotlight. We also unpack the McLachlan's rural farming roots in South Australia, how that's shaped Hamish and his own parenting style. It's an honest and entertaining conversation covering sport, media, family, ambition and the moments that really matter in life. We thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, we hope you do as well. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chat BT:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Voice messages  Hosts: Brian & Harrison Taylor Guest: Hamish McLachlan Produced by Harrison Taylor Audio & Video by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rhino Productions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Get in touch with us or see more: Mailbag - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lobmailbag@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Enquiries - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠harrison@ncmanagement.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lifeofbrianpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lifeofbrianpodcast⁠⁠
