Podcasts about all australian

In this episode, the hosts discuss the upcoming AFLW Grand Final, reflecting on the positive week leading up to the event. They analyze the All-Australian selections, highlighting key player performances and the significance of awards. The conversation shifts to coaching insights, leadership dynamics, and the strategies that will be employed in the Grand Final. Predictions for the game are made, with a focus on breakout players who could shine on the big stage.

In this episode of Don The Stat, Jono and Ian dive into a stack of listener-submitted hot takes for the 2026 season, ranging from the genuinely insightful to the absolutely off-the-rails.   We cover list size reform, the Zach Merrett trade debate, and whether Scott Gumbleton is Essendon's biggest non-saga “what if” of the past 20 years. We look at coaching structures, concussion subs, the new ruck rules, and whether Blakiston could really be in All-Australian conversations.   There's chat about the supplements saga, whether Rutten was unfairly blamed, and a surprising number of predictions centred on Zach Reid, Nate Caddy, Archie Perkins, Lewis Hayes and Dyson Sharp.   We also tackle the takes around our physicality, assistant coaching hires, injury management, and how far (or close) Essendon really is from having enough A-grade talent.   And of course… someone wants Nik Cox to rotate through the midfield and someone else believes the AFL finally moves on from Damian Barrett.   Plenty of laughs, plenty of debate, and plenty of opinions you won't hear anywhere else. ____   Watch 'The Moment that Mattered' and listen to our Post Match First Thoughts exclusively on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/donthestat Don The Stat Website: https://www.donthestat.com/ Follow Us on Twitter and Bluesky: Jono at twitter.com/JonathanJWalsh / https://bsky.app/profile/jonathanjwalsh.bsky.social Ian at twitter.com/Kyptastic1 / https://bsky.app/profile/kyptastic.bsky.social Don The Stat Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/donthestat Follow Don The Stat on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/donthestat?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

 Parting ways with our popular purple people is particularly painful this year. 674 games of experience and 3 meaningful contributors. Time to Restump Podcast all the Docker developments.Any of us may momentarily win an aging process battle, but none of us win the war. While Jimmy Aish would have it in him to go around again, Nat Fyfe and Sonny Walters were formidable in their individual efforts to prolong the inevitable. But it does little to ease the pain of having to say goodbye. However, the cycle of purple life continues and the Freo show must go on. They're certainly not the first three we've had to watch disappear into the horizon and they won't be the last. This fast paced, often ruthless industry doesn't allow for long periods of mourning or reflection. The season's dust is barely settled, the send offs seemed shortened and we suddenly find ourselves in Brownlow medal, draft and trade talk territory. Almost in an instant the conversation switches from ‘who we're losing' to ‘who will take their place.' On some level it feels a little disrespectful, like we've moved on too soon. But such is the nature of the AFL beast.Were Andy Brayshaw and Caleb Serong's dominance of Fremantle's Brownlow votes a true reflection of our group's individual contributions, or was it simply a product of the ‘midfielders' award? Both had very good seasons, but you're trying to tell me the All-Australian jacket wearing Jordan Clark had just a 2-game polling, 4 vote total season? Really? In terms of personnel going forward, what do we need to compliment the list to take another step forward in 2026?With Will Brody and Liam Reidy requesting trades, Quinton Narkle joining the retirees and the unlucky Jack Delean and Odin Jones suffering delisting, it has opened up a substantial 8 list spots so far.The grapevine chatter regarding the possible departure of Sean Darcy just won't quieten down. Is it a case of where there's smoke there's fire or is it all smoke and fiery mirrors? What do the rumours do to Liam Reidy's thought process?33-year-old Collingwood forward Jamie Elliott's name keeps popping up in purple provinces. And while we're on the Collingwood camp, there seems to be a Bobby Hill Freo Fanclub? Regardless of 'get-ability' are they genuine needs?Those names and plenty more are, at the very least, up for discussion. Always plenty of Docker drivel to be discussed. We'll cast the net wide on all things Freo, we'll get an update on JoJo's long-awaited bar opening and the Chief has hinted that he may unfortunately subject us to another episode of the Neighbourhood Watch.With the ink running dry here, let's put down the purple pen, pick up the talking stick and continue on the pod. So, if you haven't got a sock drawer to tidy, grass to watch grow or purple paint to watch dry, by all means, join us and get involved in the conversation. Send us a textSupport the show

This Friday night, the premiership defence gets underway, with an enormous qualifying final against Geelong making up the first part of the climb back to the summit. We preview the fourth match-up against the Cats in September in the last five years, and with them holding a 2-1 record, we're hoping to even the ledger.Also this week:-Dom celebrates Zac Bailey's All Australian selection (extensively)-Could Jordan Ridley get to Brisbane in the trade period? -Who is subbing in for Mike at the watch party?And much more!

On the latest episode of Talking Tigers, the push continues for Nick Vlastuin to be rewarded with an inaugural All-Australian blazer this year following another standout performance by the star Richmond defender in last Saturday’s clash with Gold Coast. The TT team present some compelling statistics and facts to strongly support Vlastuin’s All-Australian credentials. Also on this week’s show, the exciting potential of Tiger cubs Harry Armstrong and Taj Hotton is discussed. The popular “60 years of MCG Memories” segment focuses on Michael Roach achieving the magical 100-goal milestone in the 1980 season. With Richmond playing St Kilda in Round 22, the football “Twilight Zone” that has long existed in matches between the two teams is highlighted. And in “Hidden Tigerland”, club historian Rhett Bartlett provides a fascinating true tale about the great Jack Dyer in a match during the 1946 season.

Damian Barrett and Sarah Olle bring you the latest footy news on AFL Daily.

On the latest episode of Talking Tigers, there is a strong push for Richmond star defender Nick Vlastuin to receive an inaugural All-Australian blazer this year. The TT team present a compelling case for Vlastuin’s selection in the 2025 All-Australian team given his excellent form throughout the season, culminating in an outstanding performance against Collingwood at the MCG last Sunday with some AFL career-high, key statistical numbers for him. Also on this week’s show, there is plenty of excitement expressed about highly-talented Tiger teenager Taj Hotton. Another Richmond young gun in Harry Armstrong features in the final “Broady’s Zingers” for the year. The popular “60 Years of MCG Memories” focuses on a sensational goalkicking display by a top Tiger of the 1980s, who was not renowned for scoring goals. While in “Hidden Tigerland”, club historian Rhett Bartlett has the details of a daredevil stunt that took place on the Punt Road Oval in 1980 which, had it gone wrong, would have cost Richmond the premiership that year.

We're back from the bye with another win, and finals are suddenly coming into focus. We've just got to get there first, though, with three more wins needed to guarantee another September run. And with the Bulldogs, Suns, Collingwood, Swans, Dockers and Hawks still to come, it's far from guaranteed - but a win over the struggling Blues this Thursday would go a long way to shoring up a spot.After taking a bit of a bye ourselves, the Roar Deal is back, fresh and reinvigorated for the second chapter of the 2025 season with an in-depth preview of Thursday's Carlton match and the countdown underway to our first watch party of the year. Also this week: -Is Zac an All Australian?-Dom's most outlandish bet yet -A deep dive into the problems with the 2025 Gabba crowdsAnd much more!

Just when things were starting to look a little bit bleak, the Lions have pulled out their best performance for 2025 to demolish the 22-year Kardinia Park hoodoo and send us into the bye safely in second place.This week on the podcast, we pause for a mid-season review, looking through all that has worked this year and what we'll need to do to make another run at September from here. Also this week:-Our thoughts on All Australian squad contenders-What's going on with Cal Ah Chee's contract situation?-Why Dom misses the days of Video Ezy & BlockbusterAnd much more!

So productively in sync and inseparable are Serong and Jackson, they're starting to morph into one Calukeb Jacksong entity! Time to Restump Podcast the dispatching of the Dons. A combined 56 possessions, 48 hitouts, 17 clearances, 18 score involvements, over 1,000 metres gained and 5 goals neat from Serong and Jackson! Coles and Woolworths are screaming, “What about that duopoly!” Let's just get all the prefacing out of the way early. Yes, it was Essendon, yes, we were expected to win comfortably, yes, they're battling and yes, Vigo Visantini was their sole ruck on debut. With that been said and now subconsciously considered, Thursday was a job satisfactorily and entertainingly done. Despite the first quarter midfield dominance of the Dons, the result really was never in doubt. Was it perfect? Absolutely not. Are we better than that display? Maybe in patches and on occasions, but taking into account the last 5 weeks of form, we're probably a 4th to 9th type of team at the moment. Did our rare as hens teeth accurate kicking make us appear more overall dominant than we truly were? The second and third quarters we piled on 10 goals 1 to the Bomber's 4 goals 6. On paper, at least, they're the same opportunities.Anyway, focusing on the underlying possible realities isn't necessarily fun, so let's talk about Luke Jackson instead. Remember back to those days when there were those who were angry at the club for spending up on what Jackson cost us, suggesting he was overrated? Those crazy dazey times! His ruckwork was one thing, but his fourth midfielder traits somehow astonishingly continue to increase. And not enough fuss has been made about his 3 goals! They weren't gimmes or marks in the goal square, they were from long range and or under pressure on the run.And the other member of Calukeb Jacksong, did he have a day out or what? When Caleb Serong, not exactly known for his accuracy, hit that goal from the boundary… it was put the glasses down, this game is done.  Elsewhere, Corey Wagner's stock continues to rise after another super polished performance, clamping down on Zac Merret. He attended a career high 17 of the 29 centre bounces.Jordie Clark must be an All-Australian lock and Luke Ryan was back to his mopping up everything best. On top of kicking goals and clunking grabs, Josh Treacy hunts opponents down. He literally corals, confuses and catches them. Shai Bolton has simply made us a much better team and Freddy could have had a big day out.Where are we all on Nat Fyfe? It is just his first true game back, but he attended just 5 centre bounces and had little to no impact up forward. Jojo stands by his hard call but the Chief is keeping the faith and extending the hand of opportunity. There is something about September that tells me we'll be thankful for a Fyfe!The Darcy conversation will only escalate. Have we done the right by him, throwing him to the Max Gawn and Toby Nankervis type wolves and then resting him against a debutant? Is there more to the resting story than we're being told? We kneed to know!We ticked the box that needed ticking, we made another 4-point deposit in the September action bank and we got some entertainment along the way. Let's rinse and repeat!The game does seem like it was long ago, but it was too entertaining not to dig conversationally deeper. So, bring your language luggage, grab your purple talking twigs and join us in the conversing corner as we all bang on about the banishment of the Bombers.Send us a textSupport the show

Our mate this week is gun North Melbourne forward Nick Larkey. He's an All-Australian, a four-time leading goalkicker at the Kangaroos, and an ambassador of the Love the Game program - a campaign aimed at reducing young people's exposure to betting promotion. His nickname is also 'Souva' and that's cool.
