About this episode
Ash discusses a strange and tense game at the Gabba involving the Brisbane Lions, highlighting key performances and off-field incidents.
A win’s a win… but this one didn’t feel like the kind you wrap up in a bow. In this episode, Ash dives into a strange, scrappy, oddly tense night at the Gabba — a game Brisbane controlled, nearly blew, rescued, then somehow still walked away from feeling… unsettled. There’s the 49-point explosion that came out of nowhere. The fade-out that followed. The key players who shone, the big names who didn’t. And the uncomfortable little trend in the stats that might be telling a bigger story than anyone wants to admit. Off-field? Oh boy. A suspension, a social-media meltdown, a bizarre free-kick uproar, a Carlton fanbase in absolute chaos, and one of the funniest joke submissions the show has ever received. Plus a few media takes, some eyebrow-raising commentary calls, and the latest round of “Why does everyone hate our father–son picks?” Ash also dishes out his Besties, breaks down the numbers you won’t see on the highlights package, and gives you a glimpse at the looming Geelong clash — short turnaround, big stakes and returning reinforcements. It’s messy, it’s honest, it’s occasionally unhinged… and somehow still upbeat. Hit play — you’re not going to want to miss where this one goes.
