Episode Details

G’day Lions fans — Ash is back and this week delivers just about everything except a quiet moment.

From Fitzroy nostalgia to Marvel mayhem to a much-needed win, there’s plenty to unpack without spoiling a thing.

We kick things off at Fitzroy Bowls Club for the first Historical Society night of the year.

There’s jumper drama, colour-clash conspiracies, and a return of a beloved Fitzroy design.

Then it’s off to Marvel Stadium for a strangely timed matchup that somehow becomes our first win of the year.

Expect talk of momentum swings, midfield muscle, surprise tags, unexpected role changes, a forward line that finally clicks — and a backline held together by tape, hope and a Swiss Army knife of a teammate.

There’s also a cameo from the MRO, who, for once, behaves like a rational being.

We head to the VFL too, with debuts, comebacks, late surges and a few standout performers worth circling for the future.

After that, it’s Media Watch, Ticks, Crosses, and Ash’s favourite segment of the year so far: the Bin and the Basket — featuring a suspension saga, a quiet masterclass in professionalism, and a few media takes that probably should’ve stayed in the drafts.

Plus:

• The best Lions in each line,

• A joke at Collingwood’s expense,

• Ash’s Pod of the Week, and

• A special Top Five sent in by a listener.

And to close it out, a look ahead to a huge Thursday night clash — a must-win game, national TV, and a few selection questions looming large.

It’s all Lions, all passion, all chaos… and absolutely no balance whatsoever.

Hit play and dive in.
