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

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)

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!

Episode Thirty Three - Rossball Ugly, Vossball Bad

This week we talk about how Collingwood are becoming annoyingly likeable, St Kilda are awful to watch, and where to now for West Coast? The Round Eight votes in the Scarlett Silvagni Medal feature some familiar faces coupled with some new ones.

Is eating grass the best way to find the footy? What can't you get suspended for now?

Find out on The Back Pocket.

Episode Thirty Four - The AFL's Lamb Bastard
Another week, another episode of The Back Pocket.

A surprise ten-voter in the Scarlett-Silvagni Medal, and a few new faces in the votes. Collinwood are good, but maybe Port and Brisbane are too? Are Richmond back, or was this week a blip, and did St Kilda peak too early?

All that and more on this year's wooden-spoon-winning podcast, The Back Pocket.

Episode Thirty Five - The Damian Drum Method

The Back Pocket returns for Round Ten of the AFL Season. This week we talk coach sackings, losing streaks, club culture and as always the best defenders in the competition.

Episode Thirty Six - No More Mr Woke Koch
Welcome back to The Back Pocket after Round Eleven as we discuss our deep and dark sadness at the state of our football teams. Can you be the president of a football club while being anti-woke?

Has this week had some of the unluckiest defenders yet to not poll a vote, and probably the best ever eight-vote game?

Also featuring some breaking news that will be at least a few hours old by the time you hear it.

Join Jack and Alastair once again to talk everything down back for Round Eleven.

Episode Thirty Seven - Girls go Crazy for a Little Nugget Man
On this week's round twelve episode of The Back Pocket, Jack and Alastair agree on almost everything brought up from MRO to votes to coaching decisions, and a short week of football is joined by a short episode.

The Hawks investigation rears its head again, and we discuss Sheed not seeing an incident he watched in real-time.

Episode Forty - A Win off the Bye
The bye-rounds are over and thank goodness for that.

Collingwood are good and free kicks are funny, Joel Selwood is at the cricket and that makes us feel safe, West Coast are so bad we talked about them when we didn't even mean to and the ladder is still super close, well past the halfway mark of the year.

It's The Back Pocket.

Episode Forty One - Brought to you by Mate Colina
Welcome back to the real AFL season, with a full nine games being played in Round Sixteen, and we still have no idea what the ladder is going to look like. Last years grand finalists played out a painful draw, Port bombed one after the siren, and Melbourne continue to sell wins to the AFL.

This week we also foray into being a cricket podcast (what would we call that? The Fine Leg Who Bats Eight and Doesn't Bowl?) and discuss media outrage and how it's the same across all sports.

It's The Back Pocket.
