The 2026 Two Good Sports Awards: the best, worst and craziest moments | See you in 2027!
It’s the final Two Good Sports of 2026, so naturally we’re handing out some extremely prestigious, completely unofficial awards. From the athletes and moments that made us fall in love with sport all over again, to the bad sports and baffling decisions. There’s love for Jai Arrow and his extraordinary fight against MND, World Cup magic from Cabo Verde, Winter Olympics heroes, Mar
NRL Grand Final reaction: the Sydney Roosters were actually perfect
Abbey and Georgie wrap up a Grand Final weekend that delivered heartbreak for Newcastle and another title for the Roosters. They unpack the Grand Final itself, the NRL’s much-discussed pre-match entertainment, why the Roosters looked unstoppable all season, and celebrate the rise of Marky Mark Nawaqanitawase, who somehow managed to win an Ashes, an Origin and a premiership this year. Plus, a
Newcastle Knights have to win...please. (Also some AFL chat, sorry Abbey is grieving)
The NRL Grand Final is almost upon us, and because Abbey has trust issues when it comes to fairy tale Grand Final wins, we also have to talk her through what happened last week. Wharfie Time, TOD, around 5PM Saturday 26th of September 2026. BUT, as all great tragedies must do, they must end. And as Freo leaves our collective hearts, ahead of the NRL Grand Final agains the Sydney Roosters, the Newc
3x Premiership Tiger Trent Cotchin says "Wharfie Time isn't dead"
Three time Richmond premiership captain Trent Cotchin joins Abbey and Georgie fresh from a front row seat to Brisbane’s latest flag, having watched the Grand Final from inside the Lions coaches’ box. Cotchin takes them behind the scenes of the comeback, explains what separates great teams from merely good ones and compares the culture driving Brisbane’s remarkable run with the Ri
So Lachie Neale is playing now? | Isaac Smith & Jack Riewoldt's AFL Grand Final Predictions
Grand Final week goes into overdrive as Abbey and Georgie land not one but two AFL premiership players in the same episode: Richmond great Jack Riewoldt and four time Hawthorn/Geelong flag winner Isaac Smith, for dueling previews of Fremantle vs Brisbane. Riewoldt breaks down what it actually felt like in the rooms when Freo booked their first ever Grand Final berth, watching former teammate Shai
AFL Grand Final week: Lachie Neale is in! Who'll win? And what's Kylie going to sing?
Abbey and Georgie gear up for the AFL Grand Final by unpacking a dusty box of Dockers memorabilia Abbey has stored away since switching allegiance to the Tigers. There's spirited debate around who deserves to win (and who's actually going to), Lachie Neale’s tribunal drama and the sky-high travel costs for Freo fans. Plus, a peek behind the curtain on Brownlow Medal night, with behind-
Freo Dockers superfan Rove McManus on how to beat the Sydney Swans, and what he'd do if Freo won the Grand Final
Rove McManus joins Two Good Sports for a Freo fan therapy session, reflecting on the Dockers' historic season, the heartbreak of 2013, and why Freo supporters still can't quite believe a premiership is possible. He shares how he became a lifelong Dockers fan, gives us the lowdown on "Warfie Time", and explains what making (and potentially winning) a grand final would mean to him after decades of s
Sydney Sweeney is rage baiting us all...and we're only fuelling the fire
Georgie and Abbey are back from THAT historic NFL game at the MCG...and boy do they have some stories. In the NRLW Ali Brigginshaw receives a moving farewell tribute, and AFL great turned NFL punter Sav Rocca joins the podcast to explain how Australian athletes keep making it in American football. And it can't be avoided; the girls debate the Sydney Sweeney gambling ad controversy - we
NRL Finals Special: we chat with Kalyn Ponga, James Tedesco and the Top 8 Captains
It's NRL finals tonight, and although the top 8 is (in Georgie's words) 'crazy', we are fully invested. It's crazy because unlike most seasons, there's no obvious favourite and every finals team looks dangerous. Georgie chats with team captains from across the top eight about Kalyn Ponga's failed hex on Nathan Cleary, midriff celebrations and whether Two Good Sports can become the Knights' officia
Some of the best AFL finals games ever - how did it all go down?
Georgie returns from Perth with strong opinions about Fremantle, Optus Stadium's reclining seats, and one of the biggest AFL finals weekends in recent memory. We unpack Freo's collapse against Hawthorn, ask whether the Hawks are now premiership favourites, and break down Sydney's incredible upset win over Brisbane. This week's Bad Sport: it's Sky Sports NZ after they made a huge blunder during the
How to run a marathon (or just start running at all)
Run clubs are booming, marathons are selling out, and somehow everyone you know is suddenly training for something. So we sat down with elite runner and FEMMI co-founder Lydia O'Donnell to find out what’s really behind the running craze. From run clubs becoming the new dating apps to the mental games that kick in deep into a marathon, Lydia explains why so many people are lacing up and why t
The Wild Wild West of Wildcard rounds
One of the most emotional moments in Australian sporting history unfolded over the weekend as Jai Arrow returned to the field and notched his 98th game for the Rabbitohs. Georgie Tunny and Abbey Gelmi unpack the scenes that left us all in tears, debate whether AFL's Wild Card experiment has won over its critics, and discuss the growing anti-Geelong movement, the AFL Legends Game, and why Carlton h
Broncos in crisis, a powerful AFL moment and more Mad Monday controversy
What happened to the Brisbane Broncos this season? 12 months ago, they looked like one of the NRL’s most formidable teams. So what went wrong? Georgie does an autopsy. In the AFL there's a very important conversation going on. Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson’s powerful comments on mental health showed us how sport can help drive conversations that we all should be having. Abbey and Geor
Former Manly and Broncos coach Anthony Seibold on how he was sacked, a new adventure in PNG and the Broncos spotlight
He coached the Broncos and the Sea Eagles, and he's heading to the new PNG Chiefs in 2028. Anthony Seibold joins Two Good Sports for a candid chat about coaching at the highest level in rugby league, surviving the Brisbane Broncos spotlight and why one of the NRL's biggest clubs keeps finding itself under pressure. He opens up about media scrutiny, player distractions, what makes a great pla
Two sports journos at TV's biggest night - what really happens behind the scenes
Abbey and Georgie take you behind the scenes at the Logies - what really happens when the cameras are off, who wrote the best jokes, and how the snake got in.

Why the Sydney Swans scandal hurts so much, and how do we get change?
Georgie Tunny and Abby Gelmi discuss the ongoing investigation at the Sydney Swans, and the uncomfortable conversations it has sparked across the AFL. Speaking as women who have built their careers in sport, they reflect on the allegations, the reaction from fans and media, and the broader questions around culture, accountability and the treatment of women in football. It's a candid and emotional
What can be done about footy's concussion crisis?
The AFL is under scrutiny with the Jake Kolodjashnij concussion controversy. The Geelong defender signed a waiver that releases his club from any legal risk over future concussions and it has opened a big can of worms. The NRL is also dealing with a concussion debate; it's still reeling from Eli Katoa's injury last November. With growing legal, medical and ethical questions around head knocks, we
How to go two years undefeated: 2x AFLW Premiership winner Tess Craven on tattoos, mentality and when the league will turn pro
North Melbourne two-time premiership winning star Tess Craven joins Two Good Sports ahead of the new AFLW season to talk dynasty culture, why the Kangaroos keep winning, the evolution of women's footy, and the criticism AFLW players still face (and how she deals with it). We also get into: The future of AFLW and professionalism How the AFLW can win more fans The impact of the Australia vs Ireland
Lost a foot then won a gold medal: swimmer Col Pearse spills Comm Games secrets, meeting AFL heroes and how to love yourself
He lost his foot to a lawnmower at the age of 2. He wore a prosthetic that meant he could play footy until he was 12, wearing a blue and white hooped design inspired by his beloved Geelong Cats. Then he realised he was pretty good at butterfly. He's won Comm Games gold and won silver at the Glasgow Games last week. He went viral for reminding us in a post-race interview to"talk to yourself l
Things they should do, but won't (in the world of sport)
This week we're talking about the decisions sport should make...but probably never will. First though we celebrate the incredible Archie Goodburn and the impact of his brain cancer advocacy, shout out gold medal-winning doctor Mackenzie Little, and give Jess Hull her flowers for showcasing elite sportsmanship. Then we get into our main debate: the sporting calls that make complete sense, yet someh
Could NRLW players go fully pro by 2028? Wests Tigers captain and Dally M winner Kezie Apps talks TV deals, switching codes and Origin clean sweeps
Kezie Apps is one of rugby league’s most decorated female players: Tigers captain, co-captain of the Jillaroos and the most capped Blues player in State of Origin. Oh and she's a Dally M winner too. Where's the NRLW heading next? She joins us this week to chat it through. She made it to the top after being forced to give up the game at 12 because there weren't any clubs for the girls. What's
Australia can't stop winning gold at the Comm Games - how are we doing it? And who on earth is 'Clicky' Ponting?
We try to make sense of an avalanche of gold medals, record-breaking performances and some remarkable athlete stories coming out of the Comm Games. A week ago we were wondering where the hype is, now it's everywhere. Lachie Kennedy broke the national 100-metre record with a time of 9.85 seconds. Torrie Lewis won Bronze and broke her own record with a time of 10.99. In the pool Australia’s sw
Is the AFLW being set up to fail? And where's the Comm Games hype?
The World Cup is over but the memes live on, and we're already counting down to the Women's World Cup in Brazil next year - what can we expect from our Matildas? The Commonwealth Games are underway; how are our athletes faring? And there are new rules around the TV coverage designed to stop the over-sexualisation of female athletes on broadcasts. What's happened exactly and why did it take this lo
Why are cyclists the most unhinged athletes? Cycling great Simon Gerrans talks Tour De France, broken collarbones, cheat meals and how they survive 3,330km rides
Fresh off the side of a mountain somewhere in France, Australian cycling legend and SBS commentator Simon Gerrans (the only Aussie to win a stage at all three major tours) joins Two Good Sports to explain why Tour de France riders might just be the toughest (and most unhinged) athletes on the planet. As the Tour De France wraps up this weekend, we get a crash-course (pun intended) on cycling and w
It's bye round on Two Good Sports - enjoy some of our favourite bits
Abbey and Georgie are off this week but will return on Friday the 24th of July after a much needed rest. In this episode we look back at some of our favourite moments from the past few months to keep you going. Surfing icon Layne Beachley tells us how over a decade of campaigning led to finally achieving equal pay for women. The Wiggles Simon and John joined us earlier in the year, to
First woman in history to win 7 world champs: Layne Beachley on equality, earnings and life after surfing
Layne Beachley has a list of achievements as long as the beach at Manly. She was inducted into the Sport Australia hall of fame in 2011, and elevated to legend in 2023. She won seven world surfing championships, including a record six in a row. She was a game changer in so many ways that her legacy goes well beyond the silverware. From fighting for pay equity in surfing to learning how to de
A game for the ages (if you're a Blues Fan) | State of Origin Game 3 recap, World Cup shocks and Australia are T20 Women's World Cup champs
It was an historic night at Suncorp as the Blues won the decider by 18 points. Laurie Daley will keep his job and Nathan Cleary shut up the 'can't do it in Origin' haters. It was one of the all-time great games - unless you're Georgie Tunny. We unpack the dubious calls and tries that maybe shouldn't have stood on a crazy night of rugby league. Friend of the pod Sophie Molineux and the greatest tea
State of Origin special: QLD stars Ponga, Taulagi, Carrigan & Fifita give us an exclusive look inside the Queensland camp | Game prep, tactics and plans to stop Nathan Cleary
T'was the night before Origin. It's the most special time in our lives: it's Game 3 of Origin and it's winner takes all. Origin nights at Suncorp are always crazy but this one's going to be extra special. Queensland's most feral fan Georgie Tunny went up to the Sunshine Coast to get the lowdown from the players on how the Maroons are preparing to face a Blues side who will be fired up after a brui
We went viral (and now the internet hates us), Maya Joint stunned Serena Williams, and has Rory McIlroy lost the plot?
We didn't know that a simple stat about Caitlin Clark, a rookie basketballer in the WNBA who outsold LeBron on jersey sales, would cause such madness on the Two Good Sports Insta page. Caitlin has become one of the most talked-about names in sport. Her meteoric rise in just 2 years, manufactured drama and a rivalry with Angel Reese - we debate it all and discuss why she’s such a polarising f
It's the Socceroos vs Mo Salah, France look untouchable and we have a $30m player in our camp | World Cup chat with Niav Owens, SBS host of the FIFA World Cup
It's about time we talked about the World Cup. The Socceroos have (arguably) defied expectations and made it through the group stage. Now we play Egypt in the first knockout round on Saturday morning. Is it winnable? Niav Owens thinks so, and she knows her football. The host of SBS' World Cup coverage joins us to chat our chances of progressing to the round of 16 and meeting Messi and Argent
The “Doping Olympics” actually happened, and athletes took the money?
The Enhanced Games were meant to shake up sport, letting athletes use performance enhancers to break records and make big money. Enough time has passed for us to properly digest the morally grey area that encompasses the event, and compose our thoughts. We have many of them. We talk about this and much more: Athletes openly using performance-enhancing substances Prize money that dwarfs Olympic pa
The insane logistics behind the NFL's first ever Aussie game | What can we expect from American football at The 'G?
The NFL's first ever game in Australia is a couple of months away; the San Fran 49ers take on the LA Rams at the MCG in September. Are we prepared for an American sports takeover? With Steph Rogers from the 49ers, we learn what it takes to move an entire American football team across the Pacific ocean, why the sport is gaining momentum in Australia, and whether the players think it's really
Luke Bateman left Rugby League, beat addiction and made half a million Booktok friends.
Former NRL player Luke Bateman joins Two Good Sports for one of those conversations that starts with rugby league and ends somewhere very different. From growing up in western Queensland and chasing the footy dream, Luke opens up about life inside professional rugby league, the culture that comes with it, and the very real impact of gambling harm that's embedded in Australian sport. Lu
Kim K at Monaco and $40 Mil at the MCG
This week we find ourselves right in the middle of the matchup between sport and pop culture. From Kim Kardashian’s grid-side appearance in Monaco to the ongoing debate around celebrities, influencers and who “deserves” to be at major sporting events, it's all creating a lot of debate around who should get to be pitch, track, or court side. There’s also a look at the
Matildas legend Lydia Williams previews the Socceroos’ World Cup: we're in a group of "death-ish"? Plus the worst sledge a player can ever get
The consensus in America is that the Socceroos are an easy draw. We could get offended, or we could just see it as USA doing USA things. What is offensive though is the worst sledge a footballer can ever receive - and Matildas icon SBS FIFA World Cup Commentator Lydia Williams has received it. She shares it with us to general shock in the studio. We also preview the Socceroos’ Worl
Gold medal winner Harry Garside on cutting through the BS in professional boxing, and how to find meaning among the masculinity
He won a bronze medal in Tokyo in 2020, and a gold two years before at the Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast. He's a fiercely competitive boxer, but there's a lot more to Harry Garside than what you see in the ring. He's known for challenging stereotypes around masculinity and was a finalist on I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here. He challenges stereotypes in our chat today in more ways
What does it really take to be a sports journo? And...I wrote a book!
Georgie Tunny is a published author - cue the celebrations! We talk launch week chaos, the emotional rollercoaster of releasing a debut novel, and the very weird reality of building a career in sports media that served as inspiration for the story. 'Over To You' is a work of fiction, let us be clear on that. From her first newsroom disasters to national TV, Georgie opens up about ambition, burnout
Remembering the great Neale Daniher | His close friend Tim Watson talks his life, legacy, and what we can do to help the cause
He built and commandeered an army. An army who donned blue beanies and plunged into the ice and took action, knowing the leader would one day lose his life to the enemy. This is a bit of a different episode for us. Following the passing of Neale Daniher after a 13-year fight with motor neurone disease, we take a moment to reflect on a life that changed far more than footy. We hear Neale's own word
Unpacking the insane State of Origin Game 1 moments, French Open diamonds and Making Essendon Great Again
We put State of Origin Game I on trial, breaking down the Kalyn Ponga send‑off, Nathan Cleary’s match‑turning moments, and whether New South Wales truly deserved the win. At Roland‑Garros, Aryna Sabalenka was wearing diamonds while calling for increased prize money - it sparked a conversation about double standards and the economics of tennis, but why can't women just support women? Novak or
The Women's Maroons on hungover fan meets, smutty BookTok and how to get State of Origin where it belongs
Ahead of Game III of the 2026 Women’s State of Origin, Georgie is joined by Jess Elliston, Lauren Brown and Jada Ferguson for a very Queensland conversation about heartbreak, pride, and why this game still matters even when the series is quote/unquote 'gone'. The girls talk about what camp feels like after a tough loss, the unspoken no‑dickheads policy, and why you’d still run through
Glaring State of Origin omissions, a 46 year-old goalkeeper and which NRL star should the Bears entice to Perth?
State of Origin is almost here, and the biggest talking point is Georgie's husband* being left out the Queensland squad. We break down the Origin selections, what the notable player absences means for the Blues and Maroons, and how Billy Slater might be thinking about form, fitness and the long game. Sam Kerr got the perfect farewell at Chelsea with a goal, as she looks ahead to the nex
The Wiggles on rugby league loyalty, being dads, and building stamina for three shows a day
Abbey is proudly in the top 1% of listeners. Georgie has a favourite and it's the only Broncos fan in the band. Together we are so excited to welcome Simon and Big Strong John Wiggle to Two Good Sports, to hear how they stay fit on tour, staying loyal to the Eels and the Tigers in tough times, and how they keep their love of sport alive with the demands of fatherhood. Plus, they rank their t
$500,000 worth of AFL guernsey, and who'd be a coach?
Scott Pendlebury’s milestone weekend is coming up; his record-breaking game approaches and it's ignited a debate on the proceeds from the sale of match‑worn guernseys, some expected to fetch eye‑watering prices. We chime in with our thoughts on player branding, and where the league draws the line on personal profit. It was also a brutal week for coaches. Michael Voss’ exit at Car
The One Where Helen Housby Becomes Our Best Friend
She scored the winning goal for England at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, was the MVP at the 2023 World Cup, and dressed as Hannah Montana for her 30th birthday. She is of course, Helen Housby. She's probably the most famous netballer in the world, and she joins us to talk going viral without trying, becoming an Aussie and why the world’s best netballers still don’t have the security the
Rescuing the World Cup fan experience and a Met Gala debate
The FIFA World Cup is a month away and already we're having things taken from us: at the time of recording, the Melbourne Arts Precinct Corporation had announced there would be no more live matches shown at Fed Square in Melbourne, scene of some iconic moments (see Mathew Leckie's goal celebrations in 2022). But then, on Thursday afternoon we had breaking news - Premier Jacinta Allan interve
GWS Giants coach Adam Kingsley on that famous half-time spray, Taylor Swift vs Slipknot and his coaching philosophy
Ever since Georgie saw him do something strange on a flight from Melbourne - something that sparked a big debate - he's been an unofficial third host of this podcast. He's also coach of the GWS Giants, a former premiership player with Port Adelaide, and an all-round excellent sport. Adam Kingsley gives us a look behind the curtain at the Giants, the truth behind that famous half-time spray,
A week of bad sports: the AFL Appeals Board, an Aussie Olympian and Scott Pendlebury's arts and crafts project
Abbey has too many bad sports this week, so we're supplementing Good Sport, Bad Sport with a new segment: Ab-solutely Not. One of them is the reaction to Lance Collard’s ban in the AFL; the handling of the case by the appeals board was completely at odds with the ‘zero tolerance’ messaging the AFL says it lives by. Then it's Scott Pendlebury's special golden guernsey - whose
Adam Gilchrist on keeping for Warnie, elite sledges and finding the best tequila on Earth
He's one of our best and most beloved cricketers, one who revolutionised the keeper position. He was a wicket keeper with a strike rate of 92 in Ashes Tests, the first player to hit 100 sixes in Tests, and won three consecutive World Cups - and that's just the accolades we've put here, trust us there are plenty more. We chat with Gilly about his incredible career, what it was like having the best
Is it time for a Mental Health Round in the AFL?
Geelong's Bailey Smith opened up discussion this week around the AFL's responsibility to its players and their mental health. Is it time for a Mental Health Round? Plus, Gout Gout, our own answer to Usain Bolt and arguably the most exciting prospect we've seen in sprinting in recent years, kept the comparison alive by doing something crazy at the Under-20s championships in Sydney (it wasn't
AFL icon Nic Naitanui on Harley Reid and Ben Cousins, the Perth fishbowl and life after footy
He wore the most famous number in West Coast history, stood 201cm tall, and spent a decade living in Perth’s footy fishbowl, but life after the number nine looks a little different to Nic Natuini. We sit down with the West Coast legend to talk mentorship, parenting on no sleep, and what happens when half your teammates weren’t born for your premiership. Covering fame fatigue, functiona
He said, he said in the AFL, and a royal surprise at the Western Bulldogs
Port Adelaide captain Zak Butters was fined this week for abusing an umpire. The club have already said they'll appeal, and while the fine isn't a huge amount it's a question of reputation. We get the lowdown from former AFL umpire 'Razor' Ray Chamberlain - how can both sides save face? He tells us how he'd approach a case like this, and why we may never know what was really said. Plus, Oscar Pias
Making history as the NRL's first female play-by-play commentator: how Emma Lawrence did it
She once got told her voice was 'too girly'. So she got her own voice coach, kept training and in 2026 Emma Lawrence made history as the first female play-by-play commentator for the NRL. She tells us how she survived the newsroom grind, bounced back from multiple rejections and grew to thrive in a very male-dominated area. She's always bubbly, she's always full of ideas, and she's an inspir
SA Premier Peter Malinauskas talks the AFL Gather Round, making Adelaide the new Melbourne, and why we shouldn't support the Crows
A four-day festival of footy is descending on Adelaide, and South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas talks with Georgie on why it's so important, supporting Port Adelaide over the Crows, and his plans to make Adelaide the go-to city for sport. Plus, sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson did something incredible in the prestigious Stawell Gift that had us shocked. A 9-metre head start? Crazy.
8-time Grand Slam winner Sam Stosur on the hidden demands of elite tennis, prize money purchases, and the next Aussie superstars
She's an eight‑time Grand Slam champion, former world number one, Billie Jean King Cup captain and owner of the best arms in world sport. Tennis champion Sam Stosur joins us to reflect on life after tennis, the unique highs and lows of the game and what it really means to lead Team Australia. The future of the women’s game is bright with Talia Gibson and Storm Hunter leading the charge, but
Paralympic Medals, Popped Shoulders and Podium Tears with Ben Tudhope
This week we're joined by Ben Tudhope, Paralympic silver medalist and all-round legend, to debrief us on the Winter Paralympics in Milano Cortino and lift the lid on his incredible career achievements. Australia's youngest ever Winter Paralympian overcame a dislocated shoulder to bring us home two medals in 2026, a silver and a bronze. We find out how he did it, what's next as he looks towar
Abbey shares her experience with sexual harassment and her hope for women in sports media
We start this week's chat by asking the burning questions - what’s next for the Matildas after coming so close to Asian Cup glory? Can the AFL eliminate the ‘grub’ factor? And could Kylie unlock a twilight Grand Final at the G? For our main discussion, Abbey shares a deeply personal and difficult story that speaks to all women in media. A year on from an incident that saw the per
Melbourne Storm legend Ryan Hoffman talks leadership, embracing AFL and how to stop Nathan Cleary
It's the Grand Final rematch this week, but that's all in the past for the Broncos who haven't got off to the best start this season. Melbourne Storm legend and friend of the show Ryan Hoffman is with us to talk his new role in the AFL, the best leaders he's ever had and what made them unique, and how coaches are managing their teams in 2026 with some very interesting methods. Harvey
The Matildas are one win from glory on home soil. How's the mood?
This week Scott Pendlebury dodged suspension thanks to being a Very Good Bloke, while Essendon rookie Jayden Nguyen revealed he panic‑deleted old DMs to his idol Lin Jong to avoid stage‑five‑clinger vibes, and is now paying it forward as an idol himself. The main event though, is of course the Matildas storming into an Asian Cup final on home soil, with rom‑com energy, Sam Kerr brilliance, and Ala
The Iranian Women’s Team and the Reality Beyond the Game
Last week there was a story that went far beyond sport. What happened to the Iranian women’s football team during the Asian Cup was about safety, and impossible choices. These athletes came to Australia to compete and were instead forced to navigate war, surveillance and global attention, simply for playing football. We wanted to talk about what that means, why some players have now been gra
Tom Hanks at the footy? That just sums up the craziest week in sport
Abbey finally hits the Formula One as a punter and confirms it’s the best day out - until heartbreak strikes when hometown hero Oscar Piastri crashes out before the race even begins. Add in a Matildas Asian Cup draw that makes the path to the final even harder, Tom Hanks casually rocking up to a Giants game, and endless AFL-NRL headline wars as Round Zero spars with the Vegas round, and you
Matildas Pressure, Lewis Hamilton’s Aura & Vale Dennis Cometti
It’s been a big week in sport. Footy is back across both codes, the F1 season kicked off in Melbourne, the Matildas narrowly missed out on topping the group in the Asian Cup and the calendar is absolutely heaving. The AFL/NRL headline war fired up as Andrew Dillon floats Aussie Rules at the Olympics (respectfully unhinged), Abbey recounts meeting Lewis Hamilton and his unmatched aura, and we

Sophie Molineux on Pressure, People and the Captaincy
This week we're joined by one of Australian cricket’s fiercest competitors — World Cup winner, Ashes star, big‑moment specialist and newly appointed Australian women’s captain, Sophie Molineux.

Season Four Is Officially Open!
Season Four is officially open! We're back with big feelings, player‑movement grief, winter sport brilliance and a still-burning (though maybe ever so slighty quenched by recent events) ice hockey obsession. From pure joy to a very public fumble, this episode is a reminder of how quickly sport can give you everything — and take it away just as fast. Harvey Norman love sport. Supportin

We talk champagne rituals, manifesting Olympic dreams, and why success doesn’t actu

Zero Medals, Infinite Drama
Five days in, Australia’s medal tally is still sitting on zero — but if you think that means nothing’s happened, think again. This episode has everything: heartbreak, hope, chaos, scandal, romance, injuries, style takes, and one Norwegian man who absolutely did not read the room. Harvey Norman love sport. Supporting Australian athletes at all levels, from grassroots to the
