    Melbourne Storm legend Ryan Hoffman talks leadership, embracing AFL and how to stop Nathan Cleary

    It's the Grand Final rematch this week, but that's all in the past for the Broncos who haven't got off to the best start this season. Melbourne Storm legend and friend of the show Ryan Hoffman is with us to talk his new role in the AFL, the best leaders he's ever had and what made them unique, and how coaches are managing their teams in 2026 with some very interesting methods.

    The Matildas are one win from glory on home soil. How's the mood?

    This week Scott Pendlebury dodged suspension thanks to being a Very Good Bloke, while Essendon rookie Jayden Nguyen revealed he panic‑deleted old DMs to his idol Lin Jong to avoid stage‑five‑clinger vibes, and is now paying it forward as an idol himself.

    The main event though, is of course the Matildas storming into an Asian Cup final on home soil, with rom‑com energy, Sam Kerr brilliance, and Alanna Kennedy in the golden boot race. Plus, we chat with Matildas defender Kaitlyn Torpey about Final prep, table tennis rivalries and the secret stuff that's powering the team.

    The Iranian Women’s Team and the Reality Beyond the Game

    Last week there was a story that went far beyond sport. What happened to the Iranian women’s football team during the Asian Cup was about safety, and impossible choices. These athletes came to Australia to compete and were instead forced to navigate war, surveillance and global attention, simply for playing football. We wanted to talk about what that means, why some players have now been granted asylum, and how unfair it is that women chosen for their talent were put in such danger.

    Tom Hanks at the footy? That just sums up the craziest week in sport

    Abbey finally hits the Formula One as a punter and confirms it’s the best day out - until heartbreak strikes when hometown hero Oscar Piastri crashes out before the race even begins. Add in a Matildas Asian Cup draw that makes the path to the final even harder, Tom Hanks casually rocking up to a Giants game, and endless AFL-NRL headline wars as Round Zero spars with the Vegas round, and you get one of the biggest weeks in sport.

    Matildas Pressure, Lewis Hamilton’s Aura &amp; Vale Dennis Cometti

    It’s been a big week in sport. Footy is back across both codes, the F1 season kicked off in Melbourne, the Matildas narrowly missed out on topping the group in the Asian Cup and the calendar is absolutely heaving. The AFL/NRL headline war fired up as Andrew Dillon floats Aussie Rules at the Olympics (respectfully unhinged), Abbey recounts meeting Lewis Hamilton and his unmatched aura, and we pay tribute to the late, great Dennis Cometti — a once‑in‑a‑generation voice who shaped how Australians remember sport.

    Guenther Steiner on F1’s New Era, Aussie Hope &amp; Why He’ll Never Do a Shoey

    Lights out and away we go! As the 2026 Formula 1 season kicks off in Melbourne, we sit down with one of the sport’s most candid and charismatic figures, Guenther Steiner. On the eve of Grand Prix weekend, Guenther breaks down what you really need to know about a brand-new era of F1 — from the end of DRS to the new hybrid electric engines — and weighs up whether these changes will actually make racing better.

    Sophie Molineux on Pressure, People and the Captaincy

    This week we're joined by one of Australian cricket’s fiercest competitors — World Cup winner, Ashes star, big‑moment specialist and newly appointed Australian women’s captain, Sophie Molineux.

    Recorded before Soph was unfortunately ruled out of the Australia–India series with a back injury, this chat dives deep into leadership, pressure and what it actually means to captain one of the most successful teams in world sport.

    Soph opens up about the moment she got the call, the captaincy selection process, and being forced to articulate her values after a lifetime spent letting her cricket do the talking.

    Season Four Is Officially Open!

    Season Four is officially open! We're back with big feelings, player‑movement grief, winter sport brilliance and a still-burning (though maybe ever so slighty quenched by recent events) ice hockey obsession. From pure joy to a very public fumble, this episode is a reminder of how quickly sport can give you everything — and take it away just as fast.

    Australia’s Best Winter Games Ever

    It’s the final stop on our Unofficial Green & Gold journey, and what a way to go out.

    We're wrapping up Australia’s most successful Winter Games ever, celebrating a medal haul that exceeded all expectations — and delivered plenty of moments that had us yelling at the TV, crying on the couch, and doing some extremely loose medal‑table maths.
