Episode Fourteen- Massimo Effort

It's Wednesday, which (usually) means that it's time for another episode of The Back Pocket!

This week; (potentially valid) accusations are made, the PeeWee-50 champion returns, and we have a new leader on the scoreboard!

Episode Fifteen- Gold Coast Strike Back

North Melbourne are in need of a coach, Alastair wins a bet, and Jack can't get his teams right.

None of last week's top 5 got a vote in the Scarlett-Silvagni medal, meaning someone has snuck into fourth position.

Episode Seventeen - The Brock McLean Appreciation (half) Hour.

Another week another episode.

Would you rather be the best player to never win a premiership, or the worst player to win a premiership?

Also we low-key predicted a huge Melbourne signing from this morning.

This week on The Back Pocket we talk clash strips, prison bars, disappointment, and who on earth is going to make the top four.

The first vote for a young gun who the AFL media (maybe fairly) won't shut up about, and a new leader in the defender awards.

Plus Alastair learns we have a Ko-Fi :coffee: (please give him $80 000).

Episode Twenty - Thanks to the AFL Appeals Board

We've reached the penultimate round of the year, and there were some great defensive performances, with GWS and Carlton nearly grinding out the unlikeliest of wins.

It's Clarko fever, we have the world's most boring Sunday coming up, and without shenanigans, the first Scarlett-Silvagni medallist seems to be locked in.

Episode Twenty-Six - An Equal and Opposite Overreaction
New episode live now! Round One votes, recap and more. There was a lot to recap this week, from great defensive efforts, vindication for our most underrated backline, and a few spite wins with points to prove. And of course, a lot of overreactions.

Episode Twenty Eight - The Kinkley Kosh Combination
Episode Twenty Eight - The Kinkley Kosh Combination

As we all anticipated, St Kilda are undefeated on top, and Geelong are winless on the bottom. We talk coaching pressure, who goes where, and who was unlucky to miss out.

A bit of a shorter episode as we had Gabba-level technical difficulties this week, so look forward to the abrupt ending.

Episode Twenty Nine - Live From Adelaide (From Perth)
Episode Twenty Nine - Live From Adelaide (From Perth)

This week we saw an Easter Monday massacre. Are St Kilda good? Are Port good now? Who is the most underrated defender in the AFL? Can Ross Lyon coach? Who is raising their knee in the ruck contest?

We won't answer any of those questions with any clarity, but we sure will recap round four!
