  Episode #50

  A minefield for tipsters

  Aug 18, 202623 minS10

  The Swans are in turmoil and North Melbourne are finishing the season strongly. Collingwood’s kids have delivered, but can they take it up to the mighty Brisbane Lions? Fremantle have nothing to play for, and a number of clubs are looking to give their battered stars a rest before the wildcard games and finals. It’s the final round of the home and away season, and while the AFL’s top 10 might be locked in, AFL tipping competitions across Australia are going down to the wire. Andrew Wu and Peter Ryan are on hand to help make sense of it all. Support the show: https://subscribe.theage.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Episode #49

  Pendlebury might play on in 2027, and why it might not be with Collingwood

  Aug 17, 202644 minS10

  Scott Pendlebury has played more AFL games than anyone, all for Collingwood, but Michael Gleeson, Jake Niall and Caroline Wilson identify the rival club where he might get a swansong and why it would make sense. In a remarkable round of football, we got two draws at the weekend - Hawthorn vs Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs vs Carlton. And with the wildcard matches looming, there’s plenty going on in the AFL for our podcasters to talk about.

  September comes early, Cats face ‘banana-peel’ game

  Aug 12, 202625 minS10

  With two rounds left in the home and away season, there are a number of crunch games this week for Andrew Wu and Peter Ryan to preview. The Cats head to Marvel Stadium for the first time this year, where they take on the in-form Kangas, and the Crows are out to upset the Dockers. Collingwood and Hawthorn lock horns in an MCG blockbuster, and although St Kilda need a win to keep their slim finals hopes alive against the amped-up Tigers, Carlton’s equation against the Bulldogs is simple; win and you’re in.

  Hawthorn’s chance to prove their premiership credentials

  Aug 5, 202626 minS10

  Can the Hawks make a statement at the Gabba, or will the Lions bounce back from last week’s stinging loss to Carlton? With tipping supremacy on the line, Andrew Wu and Peter Ryan disagree on how this monumental swing game will play out. The Sunday-night clash between St Kilda and Carlton is also a bone of contention, while Collingwood face a “danger game” in the west and Fremantle get a rare dress rehearsal at the MCG. It’s round 22, and as tipping competitions draw towards a close, you’ve come to the best place for advice on making your move.
