How to build a list like Gold Coast? In their first 14 years, the Suns are yet to play in the finals, while fellow expansion club GWS have played in multiple campaigns and even made it to the Grand FInal. Although, that's not exactly comparing apples with apples. 

Adam and Joe go back to 2010 and examine what the Suns did well and the picks they'd like again, plus the lessons learned for Tasmania when they head to their first draft. 

Down The Gut - What Gold Coast's inaugural national draft in 2010 will teach Tasmania

For Audrey Barker, a life without Aussie Rules football is essentially no life at all. She backs Sydney's Swans but worries that the success of non-Victorian teams will actually be bad for the game.  Audrey speaks with #Newsworthy's Brendon Saad, Clare Jenkins, Mikaila Roesler and Emma Peters about footy culture and the sanctity of grand final day at the MCG.

Episode 168 - With Carlton Football Operations Manager Len Villani

If you're a long time listener to Down the Guts, you will have heard the boys' redraft series, where Adam and Joe have re-examined and re-drafted the years 2000 to 2010. 

Now comes the mega-draft - ranking the best players of a decade, the decade which dramatically shaped modern football. A decade which started with an unbelievable and almost unbeatable Bombers outfit, and ended with a drawn Grand Final, a feat we'll never see repeated. It saw a three-peat, dour defence, and birth of Hawthorn and Geelong dynasties. 

So who are the best players, and which draft classes were they from? 

Plus a quick preview of the 2024 AFL draft, and getting hyped for the AFLW Preliminary finals.  

Down the Guts - Decade draft: The best players drafted from 2000 to 2010

Summer is almost here and for many of us, there's a few months off before the next AFL season roars back into life - but the latest draft period has many wondering what 2025 will bring. 

Who got what they needed in the AFL National Draft? Is there a clear strategy for clubs like North Melbourne, St Kilda and GWS? Did Carlton overplay their hand by moving to pick #3 to take Jagga Smith? And did Essendon play it too safe in not wanting to trade up in the draft?

And a bg thank you to everyone who contributed and tuned in at some stage throughout this season. Your support is invaluable - with big thanks from Adam and Joe.
