NO. 132 - 2026 - R17: The July Streak Has Begun...LFG!!!! 🚀

Firstly, and most importantly: WELCOME BACK NEEDLES!

Yes, the President of The Squinters, the Renaissance Man, the trackside oracle, returns to his dodgy mic after attending the Golden Egg with fellow OG Bartman to deliver high-quality uninformed opinions and insights you can only get on this golden piece of podcasting mastery.

And what a game to return for.

The Giants, with half the list held together by duct tape, fuelled by youthful zest and the faint smell of September, have knocked off the ladder-leading Dockers and ended their 14-game winning streak.

The Package delivered a career-high seven. Toby did Toby things. The young’uns stood up. Callaghan worked. Idun marked everything. Whitfield was brilliant before getting concussed. And somehow, against a very legit football team, the Orange Tsunami emerged from Burley Griffin.

Maybe it was the polite Canberra crowd. We love you Canberra.

There is so much to discuss: the pressure, the clearance dominance, the defensive grit, the forward-line chaos — did we mention we had no key forward? Cads and Package 4Lyfe

And of course, it's July, so throw the house on a win over the Cats this weekend (no, chances are you're about to lose), or at least get there to watch a quality game... CAUSE WE'RE BACK BABY!!!

Clear the diary for September, because who knows?

Whenever there’s a sniff, we'll Never Surrender.
