Abbey has too many bad sports this week, so we're supplementing Good Sport, Bad Sport with a new segment: Ab-solutely Not. One of them is the reaction to Lance Collard’s ban in the AFL; the handling of the case by the appeals board was completely at odds with the ‘zero tolerance’ messaging the AFL says it lives by.

Then it's Scott Pendlebury's special golden guernsey - whose idea was that?

And also this week, Aussie Olympian Ryan Gregson was on the For The Kudos podcast and made some pretty outrageous comments. We’d never heard the term ‘getting chicked’ before, but are we having misogynistic comments like that? Ab-solutely not. For someone whose own partner is an outstanding athlete and marathon runner herself, it was a very disappointing comment.

Plus in the NRL, the new PNG team the Chiefs are going big on the recruitment. One of those is West Tigers’ Jarome Luai – he’ll join the new team after the 2027 season on a $1.2 million a season deal. And it’s tax free.

But Jarome says he’s not going there for the money and it’s going to make a difference to a lot of people. Who’s going to follow him next? And why aren’t the new Perth Bears making such big moves?

Never fear, there is a good sport: shout out Millie Elliot – playing Game 1 of State of Origin yesterday, just 6 months after having a baby. Incredible.

He's one of our best and most beloved cricketers, one who revolutionised the keeper position. He was a wicket keeper with a strike rate of 92 in Ashes Tests, the first player to hit 100 sixes in Tests, and won three consecutive World Cups - and that's just the accolades we've put here, trust us there are plenty more.

We chat with Gilly about his incredible career, what it was like having the best seat in the house as Warnie and McGrath bowled some of the best spells we've ever seen, celebrations and sledges, and how life after cricket looks when you've got your own tequila brand.

Geelong's Bailey Smith opened up discussion this week around the AFL's responsibility to its players and their mental health. Is it time for a Mental Health Round?

Plus, Gout Gout, our own answer to Usain Bolt and arguably the most exciting prospect we've seen in sprinting in recent years, kept the comparison alive by doing something crazy at the Under-20s championships in Sydney (it wasn't just the fact he broke yet another record). We discuss his future, the hype, and what's next.

And the injuries keep on coming in the NRL: Georgie is annoyed, but it does mean potential good news for the upcoming State of Origin.

He wore the most famous number in West Coast history, stood 201cm tall, and spent a decade living in Perth’s footy fishbowl, but life after the number nine looks a little different to Nic Natuini. We sit down with the West Coast legend to talk mentorship, parenting on no sleep, and what happens when half your teammates weren’t born for your premiership.

Covering fame fatigue, functional soda and sending your twin brother to pick up the takeaway - this week's ep is a refreshingly honest take on footy.

Port Adelaide captain Zak Butters was fined this week for abusing an umpire. The club have already said they'll appeal, and while the fine isn't a huge amount it's a question of reputation. We get the lowdown from former AFL umpire 'Razor' Ray Chamberlain - how can both sides save face? He tells us how he'd approach a case like this, and why we may never know what was really said.

Plus, Oscar Piastri just wants to be left alone but that might be wishful thinking, there's royalty popping in to the Western Bulldogs, and Georgie is left stunned by an AFL great on the plane home.

She once got told her voice was 'too girly'. So she got her own voice coach, kept training and in 2026 Emma Lawrence made history as the first female play-by-play commentator for the NRL.

She tells us how she survived the newsroom grind, bounced back from multiple rejections and grew to thrive in a very male-dominated area. She's always bubbly, she's always full of ideas, and she's an inspiration to everyone who has ever been told to 'leave the footy to the men'.

A four-day festival of footy is descending on Adelaide, and South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas talks with Georgie on why it's so important, supporting Port Adelaide over the Crows, and his plans to make Adelaide the go-to city for sport.

Plus, sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson did something incredible in the prestigious Stawell Gift that had us shocked. A 9-metre head start? Crazy.

We talk the AFL Gather Round, 40-point blowouts in the NRL and athletics being sexy again.

Tennis champion Sam Stosur joins us to reflect on life after tennis, the unique highs and lows of the game and what it really means to lead Team Australia. The future of the women’s game is bright with Talia Gibson and Storm Hunter leading the charge, but behind the glamour is a very real financial grind - Sam explains why it's such a slog even at the highest level. From sleeping in train stations to life‑changing prize money, five‑set debates to Italian marble benchtops, we're gifted all the stories from one of the very best to step on the court.
