The Overreaction to The Overreaction - AFL Round Two 2025

Welcome back to another episode of The Back Pocket podcast. This week we chat weird things to say in press conferences, say nice things about Essendon, and realise that truly none of us know anything about football.

RIP Westlife - AFL Round One 2025

Welcome back for another episode of The Back Pocket podcast. Round One is over, and real footy has finally washed over us.
This week we talk forgetting your undies, rigged polls, biggest boilovers, why Jack Macrae apparently shouldn't be a midfielder, and who is Delta Goodrem's most famous ex (and does he like the footy?).

Beef with Riley Beveridge - AFL Round Twenty 2024

If you came to hear about football, you're kind of in the right place. If you came to hear about the Olympics, you're also kind of in the right place. Jack has beef with Riley Beveridge and nobody wants to win the Scarlett Silvagni Medal.
