Two Good Sports

Scott Pendlebury’s milestone weekend is coming up; his record-breaking game approaches and it's ignited a debate on the proceeds from the sale of match‑worn guernseys, some expected to fetch eye‑watering prices. We chime in with our thoughts on player branding, and where the league draws the line on personal profit.  It was also a brutal week for coaches. Michael Voss’ exit at Carlton, Ivan Cleary’s surprise decision to step away from Penrith, and ongoing pressure across both codes shows how unforgiving the job can be. Add serious injury concerns, fan backlash and endless speculation, and it was a hectic week if you're in charge of a footy team.    Harvey Norman love sport.

She scored the winning goal for England at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, was the MVP at the 2023 World Cup, and dressed as Hannah Montana for her 30th birthday. She is of course, Helen Housby. She's probably the most famous netballer in the world, and she joins us to talk going viral without trying, becoming an Aussie and why the world’s best netballers still don’t have the security they deserve. Could a new TV deal with Super Netball change all that? Plus, we discuss the MBE and meeting the King, coffee snobbery, and her extremely handsome cat, Roger.    Harvey Norman love sport.

The FIFA World Cup is a month away and already we're having things taken from us: at the time of recording, the Melbourne Arts Precinct Corporation had announced there would be no more live matches shown at Fed Square in Melbourne, scene of some iconic moments (see Mathew Leckie's goal celebrations in 2022).  But then, on Thursday afternoon we had breaking news - Premier Jacinta Allan intervened to overturn the decision and bring the games back to Federation Square. We debate why it matters so much to Aussie fans.  Also this week it was our Super Bowl - the Met Gala. It was an event bankrolled by billionaires with questionable ethics; should we be having such lavish displays of wealth with the world in its current state? We discuss it, but also there's no getting away from the incredible fits - who was giving ‘hot parrot’? Why did we see what looked like a Dotti dress from 2014? Never fear, we make an attempt to link it all back to sport (where was Lewis Hamilton?).    Harvey Norman love sport.

Ever since Georgie saw him do something strange on a flight from Melbourne - something that sparked a big debate - he's been an unofficial third host of this podcast. He's also coach of the GWS Giants, a former premiership player with Port Adelaide, and an all-round excellent sport.  Adam Kingsley gives us a look behind the curtain at the Giants, the truth behind that famous half-time spray, and his motivations for coaching after a successful career as a player.  We get the logic behind the infamous stand-up desk he fashions for himself on flights, the story from his playing days where he was told he “cost Port a premiership”, and why his old teammates still won’t let him forget it. Plus, life outside footy: Taylor Swift, Slipknot, and long-lost Greek restaurants.    Harvey Norman love sport.

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.   Harvey Norman love sport.

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.   Harvey Norman love sport.

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.   Harvey Norman love sport.

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.    Harvey Norman love sport.

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.    Harvey Norman love sport.

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'.    Harvey Norman love sport.

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.    Harvey Norman love sport.

She's an eight‑time Grand Slam champion, former world number one, Billie Jean King Cup captain and owner of the best arms in world sport. 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.   Harvey Norman love sport.

This week we're joined by Ben Tudhope, Paralympic silver medalist and all-round legend, to debrief us on the Winter Paralympics in Milano Cortino and lift the lid on his incredible career achievements.  Australia's youngest ever Winter Paralympian overcame a dislocated shoulder to bring us home two medals in 2026, a silver and a bronze. We find out how he did it, what's next as he looks toward 2030 in the French Alps, and why the tears wouldn't stop flowing when he stood up on the podium.   Harvey Norman love sport.

We start this week's chat by asking the burning questions - what’s next for the Matildas after coming so close to Asian Cup glory? Can the AFL eliminate the ‘grub’ factor? And could Kylie unlock a twilight Grand Final at the G? For our main discussion, Abbey shares a deeply personal and difficult story that speaks to all women in media.

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.    Harvey Norman love sport.

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.   Harvey Norman love sport.

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.   Harvey Norman love sport.

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.    Harvey Norman love sport.

We speak about his lifelong love of sport, the wild crossover between politics and play, and of course, his unshakable loyalty to the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Albo shows us he’s not just a sports fan — he’s one of us.   Instagram  Receive 15% off the package price when you purchase a selected 2025 Samsung TV and selected Samsung Soundbar in the same transaction at Harvey Norman.

For today's episode, we're very lucky to have Bec Daniher joining us in studio ahead of FightMND's 11th Big Freeze at the MCG.  In 2013 AFL legend Neale Daniher, Bec's father, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. But rather than fade into the background, Neale dedicated his life to helping prevent the suffering of those who’ll be diagnosed in the future. The charity he co-founded, FightMND, has since raised $115 million and raised awareness of this devastating illness in Australian culture.    Instagram  Receive 15% off the package price when you purchase a selected 2025 Samsung TV and selected Samsung Soundbar in the same transaction at Harvey Norman.
