  • The best, by default, on a technicality

    Good chat from the fellas every week. A breath of fresh air compared to the usual dross from the afl media (if they can be bothered to talk about us).

    ‘All Australian’ standard every week, and both entertaining and shocking in equal measure.

  • Squint hard, squint often

    If you only listen to one unauthorised Giants-related podcast this year, make it this one. Get it while it’s free. Surely not long until this lot are signed up by Fox and you’ll have to pay for this level of analysis. Squints - also appreciate if you could get a message through to Leon for me... please keep Cogs out of the guts so he can stay injury free and is right for week one of 2020 preseason.
