The Back Pocket
If you’re looking for AFL podcasts who turn the attention to our unsung heroes of the AFL - defenders - then The Back Pocket is the podcast for you. It is not a very serious podcast, but it is very serious about defenders. Home of the Scarlett- Silvagni medal, join Alastair Hampton and Jack Turner on TBP each week as they discuss what happened down back. The Back Pocket is an independent footy podcast, and you can find us at https://thebackpocketau.com and on all social media platforms @TheBackPocketAU

This week on The Back Pocket podcast, Jargon is Jargon for Jargon, we chat teams decimated by injury, flag seedings heading into the first of the bye rounds, and not being nepo-babies. The Moose Missile escapes his terror charge against Darcy Byrne-Jones, and where on earth is the AFLW fixture?

Welcome back to The Back Pocket after what might have been the best round of footy we've ever seen. We have votes - as usual - chat about who is and isn't woke, Essendon's injury curse, spending war chests, and Northampton local greetings (it's ham).
