For a fleeting moment there was a cup in the cabinet, an accolade in the armoire, a plaque in the pool room. Time to somehow Restump Podcast the split-second surrendering of the silverware.Where do you possibly start? And of the many review perspectives that dominate your lens, which one do you look through first?I'm not sure we've ever experienced a feeling of absolute numbness post-match before and, as a rusted-on Fremantle fan, that's a big call. We know despondency, we've felt a sense of hopelessness more often than I care to recall, agony, exasperation... but never a feeling of outright numbness, bordering on paralysis. Who knew there was one more Freo-fuelled emotive feeling they had up their sleeve for us?It was an amazing grand final and an unforgettable experience, but it was the absurd speed of the feeling that went from ‘the 32-year drought was over' to ‘hey, look at that, Brissie secured the 3-peat.' It was a ruthless four-minute period, with no time to catch your breath. It left fans stunned and distraught, unable to immediately comprehend what had just happened.The purple platoon was good enough, it was tough enough and it handled the occasion well beyond what many of us thought it may. But for whatever reason or reasons, we each deem pivotal, we somehow walk away empty-handed.Was it selection? Did fatigue play its part? Have we just lost our second grand final due to inaccuracy? Josh Treacy being robbed of a mark or his bamboozling blunder? Did we go into safe mode far too soon? Was it a lack of composure late? The broken rules around the inexplicable use of Wharfie Time?For mine, every moment plays its part, but the overriding reason for somehow managing to squander the premiership was Alex “the difference” Pearce. The tragedy of his exit from the game early into the third quarter trumped all moments. It not only allowed Logan Morris off the chain to severely damage us; it allowed the Brisbane Lions to play with more flowing freedom.It's credible to claim the purple chalice would be courier-bound for Cockburn had the captain continued clear of the calamity.And that brings us to the question: is our reliance on Alex Pearce ironically our Achilles heel? Admittedly, Brennan Cox's absence wasn't ideal, but with the ageing and admirable Luke Ryan and second or third defensive banana Oscar McDonald doing their better work alongside the skipper, have we some issues that need a conversation?However, the doom and gloom will be temporary, and while we won't see the silver cup, we can see the silver lining. We've had a remarkable year, we've been the best team in the competition, we're a young list and on the cusp of a decade of success. We've got some areas needing attention but, hey, who hasn't? What we will get out of the adversity we overcame during the finals series will be enormously dividend paying beneficial.The gratitude for the season is slowly but surely beginning to displace the pain of the loss.In any case, we will regroup, we'll reassemble, we'll suit up, stump up and go around again next year. But we just need a moment, a processing period, to collect and organise our thoughts, to come to terms with what was, and then, in the blink of an eye, what wasn't. We all need some time, just not of the Wharfie variety.For one final occasion this year, let's talk through the trauma and process the pain before we pivot to probe the positives, procure perspective and praise the purple posse for their practically perfect 2026 period on the pod.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

With four minutes and eighteen seconds left, as Wharfie Time rang around the MCG, the script seemed written: The threepeat had proven to be just a bridge too far.Fremantle Premiership merch was already on sale, the Auskickers had their Dockers guernseys on ready for the medal presentation, and Freo fans everywhere were hugging and crying as the enormity of the moment they had waited so long for started to hit them.And of course all this was happening. Because it was over. We just don't see comebacks in Grand Finals - certainly not like that, certainly not that late.In the one hundred and thirty years of the competition's history, it's never happened before.This Lions group, though, don't seem all that bothered by history - at least, not unless they're the ones making it.And in four minutes of glory at the MCG, our Lions did exactly that.Under the highest possible stress, with stakes that do not come any greater and a clock rapidly ticking down, the 2026 premiership was won.Charlie Cameron started it, Zac Bailey continued it, Logan Morris finished it off, and Will Ashcroft tied it all together, officially launching this group into footy folklore for the rest of time.2024 made these Lions a great side, 2025 made them brilliant, but the hat trick cements things - this Lions group is unquestionably now one of the greatest teams to ever play the game.This is the rare air of a dynasty.Enjoy our 2026 Premiership special thanks to Kartable!

Well here we are. The FINAL episode of the Titch & Ginni Show for 2026! It's time we breakdown what was a Grand Final for the ages. We break down everything that happened in the final four minutes, once Freo hit the Wharfie Time button, the Alex Pearce Injury, whether Treacy should've been behind the ball, and the Shai Bolton/Will Ashcroft Norm Smith Medal debate. It's been an unbelievable new venture for Ball Magnets, and we truly believe we've created something that hasn't been seen before in the AFL space. (No doubt there'll be some replicas in 2027). Thankyou to Jack Ginnivan for jumping out of his comfort zone and trying something new. Not only is it different for an active player to show up week in, week out in a podcast setting, but to analyse football in realtime whilst still playing is something we've had the privilege to watch, but others have been able to benefit off his football brain. To everyone at Pivotal Conversations that made our life easy on a weekly basis, Steve Kavakos and Bailey McCabe as our lead producers and who brought the vision to life, thank you.

Oh no, China! That's what all the techbros are saying. Let's test that theory with some shownotes generated by Qwen 3.8 Max. The max is for MAXIMUM. This is the maximum. EPISODE SUMMARYIt is Hong Kong Jack's birthday, and the Two Jacks mark the occasion with a long, wide-ranging episode recorded on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.The show opens with Pauline Hanson's refusal to remove a cartoon from her website branding Liberal MP Andrew Hastie a traitor — eight times over. Barnaby Joyce has apologised, One Nation candidates are expressing discomfort, but Hanson will not budge. Jack the Insider argues her truculence is a delusion shared by populists everywhere: the belief that backing down is weakness. Ironically, the affair has burnished Hastie's credentials as a potential Coalition leader. From there, the hosts turn to the Prime Minister's handling of the Marrickville Golf Club membership controversy — a one-day story turned into a one-week saga by Albanese taking umbrage rather than simply admitting an oversight.The conversation broadens into the global rise of populism: revelations about a One Nation candidate in Victoria; ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess's expression of deep regret over the October 9 Opera House rally and his warning that normalised behaviours raised the temperature and increased the permission for politically motivated violence; and Germany's state elections, where the AFD's surge in Saxony comes despite the state having one of the lowest foreign-born populations in the country. Chancellor Merz, with 75 per cent disapproval, may be finished. A proposed Constitutional Court ban on the AFD is, in Hong Kong Jack's view, just about the worst thing Germany could do.Across the Atlantic, the Lindsay Clancy mistrial in Massachusetts — a jury split 11-1 for acquittal after 40 hours, with postpartum depression at the centre of the defence — prompts a wider discussion of the US justice system. Donald Trump's midterm rally speech earns scrutiny too: the pledge of five thousand dollars for every adult male, his claim to have outrated the NFL (2.5 million viewers against 28.3 million), and his falling asleep during the reading of the names at the 9/11 commemoration. The hosts close that section with reflections from John Howard and Kevin Rudd on where they were 25 years ago.Finally, the footy: an NFL crowd of 100,000 at the MCG to watch the 49ers beat the Rams; Russell Jackson's ABC story on racism allegations at Hawthorn and North Melbourne, which the Jacks find lacking in evidence; Cricket Australia's BBL privatisation push; and finals predictions for the AFL and NRL.
