The Falcon: A Footy Podcast
Join us as we take a laidback look at the footy week that was. Occasionally joined by a special guest who hopefully knows a lot more than us, we will discuss the ins and outs of the AFLM, AFLW, fantasy football and all the things that make the game great.

In 2024, you'd assume that watching AFL on TV would be easy, right? Right?! Well, we know that broadcasting needs a full review, and that's why this week, we are running a magnifying glass over the current broadcasting landscape, from the questionable quality of Kayo and great radio commentary to Before The Game and the 1995 romantic-comedy Now And Then.@falconfootypod

Chris is the pilot seat this week, and he's taking us into the stratosphere to discuss the most bodacious teams of 2024: the Doggies, Lions, Giants, Cats, Port Adelaide, and Sydney. We also break down some extremely disappointing behaviour from players and fans, explain the concept of Who's Line Is It Anyway?, and look at the definitions of several words.@falconfootypod

Cassie has hopped into the hosting seat this week to take us through our reviews of the awkward middle teams: St Kilda, Essendon, Freo, Pies, Blues, and the Hawks. We also make Chris drink some very suspicious fluids, discuss how much organisation goes into attending a Harry Styles show, and make multiple trade corrections.@falconfootypod

This week, we are joined by a man who bleeds yellow and black (he's very sick), Broderick Gordes, to begin our 2024 team reviews, starting at the bottom with Richmond, Kangaroos, West Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Gold Coast. We also review outdated trade news, work out how many Cherry Ripes tall Tristan Xerri, and hear what Murray the Dog has to say regarding AFL matters. @falconfootypod

The Brisbane Lions are our champions of 2024, so we have once again had Brissy-superfan Lawn join us to boast about her well-deserved success and everything that made Grand Final day so special, from Katy's goon bags and O-Mac's smile to Ashcroft's dominance and the mystery surrounding Joe's future. We also start getting into some ridculous trade rumours, sing more than usual and get hot-and-heavy for Bailey Smith. @falconfootypod

We are at the pointy end of the season now, and there is only one game on everyone's mind, so this week we are joined by a real-life Brissy fan, Lawn Gibbs, to discuss the lead-up to the big day. We also get into Geelong's valiant effort, Ken Hinkley's coaching record, what sausages are best to eat during the footy and say nothing about the Brownlow result because we were recording while it was happening (oops)@falconfootypod

With the finals almost over, we ask if the current finals format is the best system possible, or can we take lessons from other sporting leagues (and Star Wars) to improve it? We also delve into Oreo-flavoured soft drinks, Hinkley's brain fade, the might of an accurate Joe Daniher, and what it means for the two teams that dropped out over the weekend.@falconfootypod

While the best-of-the-best now have their shiny new All-Australian blazers, this week, we want to celebrate those who didn't quite make the cut by inducting them into our Almost-All-Australian team! We also crash head-first into a big week one of the finals, discussing the dominance of the Catters, the greatness of Heeney, the magic of The Wizard, and whatever the hell Carlton served up.@falconfootypod

Have you ever wondered which AFL mascot a multi-award-winning journalist would eat if stuck on an island with them? Cos, that is precisely what we ask our excellent guest Patch this week! To celebrate our 50th episode, we kick our feet up and go through all the big questions you've wanted us to answer, contemplate cannibalism, appreciate art, get blown off Windy Hill, and Chris makes a BIG CALL about Rory 'AAA' Lobb.@falconfootypod

Our sweet baby boy Chris is back from his international adventures and jumped right back into things this week to discuss some of the legends (and not-so-legends) who are hanging up their boots this year. We also get into the games with too much electricity, the games with not enough electricity, Jack Higgins, and one of the most dramatic days of footy in recent memory @falconfootypod
