The Unmatched Committee

Has your home nation never played at a world tournament? Should that tournament be decided by what's on paper and vibes? Well, the 2026 UMC World Paper Cup is your tournament. No underdog stories, no meteoric rise to fame, just Jordan picking who is better based on vibes, and Adam confirming whether it's correct. Oh, and some random tidbits. The Unmatched Committee is back in session.

In honour of the Socceroos first Global Soccer Tournament match, this is a clip from March 2025 where Adam and Jordan discuss what might have happened were Lucas Neill not penalised for his sliding tackle against Italy in 2006. Enjoy.

The Fremantle Dockers are riding high, and so is Jordan. Atop the ladder with an 11-1 record (10-1 at the time of recording), they seem like the unstoppable force barreling towards a maiden flag. So at the mid-season mark, who does Jordan feel is the biggest threat to Fremantle's premiership ambitions? This is the defining ranking you need to hear, all unpacked by the Unmatched Committee.

Borrowing ideas from other shows: Underrated.Adam's birthday: Underrated.Coffee? Well, you'll have to find out.It's the Unmatched Committee's Underrated/Overrated lists, you know, the ones you've been waiting for.

Fresh off a trip to Dowerin to watch Buddy Franklin, Jordan and Adam reconvene the Unmatched Committee, this week tasked with building the Tasmania Devils. What could their song be? Who will be the players they call first? Will the stadium have a roof? Find out in this week's Unmatched Committee.

There have been plenty of sporting scandals over time, but given the clues, could you guess exactly who did what, and where? Was there some visa dodging going on? Was it slightly deflated balls? Or was it Professor Plum in the Observatory with the Candlestick? You'll have to listen to this Unmatched Committee to find out.

To honour the late, great Dennis Cometti, one of our hosts turns guest this week. Given the inspiration and influence that Cometti had on broadcasting, Adam interviews Jordan about his time as a broadcaster, the mechanics of broadcasting, some quirks and stories from his over 20 years of work in sports radio and television. Throw in a few famous (and not so famous) one-liners, and this is an Unmatched Committee not to be missed.

We did the opening round teams, now what about the poor morsels who had to wait until round one (because those two things somehow aren't the same)? Adam and Jordan take a look at the other eight AFL teams who are yet to begin their home-and-away season in this week's Unmatched Committee, including their beloved Fremantle and West Coast.Is Jordan way too hyped about Freo? Is Adam way too depressed about the Eagles? Will either of them ever show balance in their opinion? Will they ever actually talk about the new ruck rules? Find out as this week's Unmatched Committee convenes...

The Unmatched Committee meets again, this time to discuss those who have left a mark on their sport.

The Scorchers may have won their sixth BBL title, but really, it's Tennis season. With the Australian Open in full swing, Adam thought he'd test Jordan's tennis knowledge with a trivia contest he dubbed "The Game Set Match". How many references to obscure 2000's tennis players will there be? Will Adam sneak in a weirdly placed pop culture reference? You never know what's going to happen when the Unmatched Committee convenes.
