Join Sparrow, Needles, Ragnar and special guest Bangers as we discuss the upcoming 2023 AFL Draft. The GWS Giants hold picks 7 (thank you Richmond), 16, 43, 59, 77, 79, 95. Who do we like? What's the predications for the talent headed to Homebush? What needs do we need to focus on? Usually we're unauthorised, unfiltered and uninformed, but this week we actually present rare insight and informed opinions. We, as in Bangers, who turns out is a genuine draft guru. See his work at https://central.rookieme.com/afl/2023-afl-draft-guide/ You're welcome.

"That one hurts. That one really hurts”. Toby Greene. Moments like these cut deep. But we get off the canvas. We band together. We dust off the mics and console each other. We rally as the Orange Army. It was just one head decapitation too many... But man were they courageous. Plenty to be proud of and look forward to. And plenty to talk about. Join Needles, Sparrow & Ragnar as we reflect and discuss all matters pertaining to the Orange Crush. And of course there's Ragnar's Maths , the return of the Bake, Sparrow's SOS, and...., wait for it....., Needle's Quiz is back!!!

"This mob, my God, they run like the wind”. Robbo Call it belief, call it #TaylorsProphecy, the Orange Tsunami, or just a bunch of mates playing for each other and lovin footy. Whatever you call it, boy oh boy wowee it's good to watch. And as Tom Green reminded everyone, “What’d I say, what’d I say???”. Time to listen to the lad from Canberra. Free smoke wherever you want it. Join Needles, Sparrow, Ragnar, and special guest..... BARTMAN(!!), as we go through all the issues, dissect the demolition in Adelaide, speculate over the Prelim against the Pies, and of course deliver our regulars in Ragnar's Bake (via Spaz), Ragnar's Maths (this one could go viral), and or course Sparrow's SOS.

"Any Time. Any Place. 13 Venues. Free smoke wherever you want it”. Tom Green 👊 This team is made for finals. Tough, relentless, impervious to pressure. Join Needles, Sparrow and Ragnar Lothbrok as we dive into the Elimination Final between St Kilda and the Giants, a game which saw us fight our way to a 101-77 victory at the home of AFL, the MCG - the 11th venue we've won at in season 2023. Noone else has done that by the way... There's live grabs from the game - NEEDLES WAS THERE!!! (and Bartman - sorry Bartman for not getting you on); heaps of sponsor chat with not much sponsor action (though there is a promo code - FIRST EVER, see below); Bake reviews (we take the credit for Ben Ihle's fine performance getting Bedford off); Ragnar's Maths (courtesy of listener Nathan); Sparrow's SOS (which is becoming an unwieldy beast); and of course a look forward to our next assignment against the Power in Adelaide. Are we daunted, HELL NO!! But Needles thinks we'll lose (emotional hedge). And how about #TaylorsProphecy. It's gone bloody mainstream! You're welcome Fox Footy and AFL Media. Sparrow at your service. 🫡 Fatt Matt’s Beef Jerky (https://www.fattmattz.com.au/) for your finals viewing: PROMO CODE IS NSP. Helps us build for Season 2024. GET ON IT SQUINTERS!!

Join Needles, Ragnar Lothbrok and the Soaring Sparrow as we reflect on the loss in the Battle Of The Bridge..., but MORE IMPORTANTLY, RAGNAR HAS RECORDED A NEW SONG!!! Likely to be on the A-Side of the Squinters debut cassette, it's a moving tribute to Harry Himmleberg signing up for the long haul and for premiership glory with the boys in Orange and Charcoal. We've packed plenty into this one, including the naming of our INAUGURAL PRIZE WINNER!!! This is getting real. And an exclusive...., Ragnar's Bake this week comes from deep in the bowels of the Beanstalk. Inspirational stuff. Unfortunately it didn't achieve the desired outcome, but we move on quickly to next week in Adelaide... Enjoy and give us a rating and/or review wherever you're listening.

Join us as we celebrate the BREAKING OF THE CLARKSON CANBERRA CURSE!! It all started with Jeremy Cameron's sulking bottom lip frozen to the Manuka turf back in 2019, and Alistair Clarkson running laps in the snow in his undies, starting a wicked curse that lasted 4 long years. And yet the Canberra Orange Army still turned up in droves - what legends! Now Toby 'He's Our Leader' Greene has risen above the hoodoo on a glorious Canberra winter's day, delivering a mighty performance, smashing the Suns back to mediocrity, and continuing our charge towards action in September. So much to savour. Also, THERE'S A RAGNAR BANGER EASTER EGG hidden in the episode. He's delivered, once again. You're Welcome Enjoy and give us a rating and/or review wherever you're listening.

Never Surrender by the Squinters is the only GWS Giants AFL fan podcast, and we have a few announcements: 1. The greatest thing you ever heard is at the end of this pod. If you only listen to one bit in 2023, listen to 'He's Our Leader.' You're Welcome. 2. The breaking newsflash that we forgot to talk about was Lachie Ash re-signing. 3. Needles is back! To everyone's relief no doubt, with Ragnar and the Sparrow (who apparently has a missus sparrow, who thinks HH is a nice guy). 4. This was a really fun pod to do, because winning hard games is lots of fun. 5. We have twitter contributions! Get involved, like that random guy who sounds only a tiny bit like Bubs and an Adelaide supporter who was grudgingly appreciative of the magic that is Giants 2.0. @theSquinters, neversurrenderpod@gmail.com. 6. Why settle for 5 in a row when you can make it 6! ***Rate us with all the stars on all the usual places*** never surrender --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-squinters/message

On the back of our rejuvenated Italian rabbit (who's back to career best form), the reliable mittens of Hoges, and Riccas chiming in with a few, we have once again fought off a pesky bunch of brown and gold chicklings. And how bout that Octopus?!! Tentacles latching onto anything and everything. Then there was Breadsy taping to Rabbit for a goal Barella would be proud of. They were brave but no match for the rising Orange Tsunami. That makes it four in a row, and if that's not evidence of #TaylorsProphecy from Slamin Sam the Soothsayer, then I don't know what is. Enjoy the reflections and analysis from Sparrow and Ragnar as Needles recovers on the bench. We'd love your ratings and reviews on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. And send your voice recordings in via Twitter messages (https://twitter.com/TheSquinters). If you're keen to sponsor the show, get in touch at admin@thesquinters.com.

This podcast starts with an ODE!!! Sparrow on poetical fire. #waveon. Did you see that? We interviewed the Milkman and then the GWS Giants hung in there and gutsed out a win in the pouring rain in 8 degrees centigrade at Traeger Park in Alice Springs in the middle of a desert. Is it a coincidence? (imagine thinking face emoji) Every possible angle in every possible universe is picked over by Ragnar Lothbrok, Sparrow and Needles in a forensic hour of fascinating football banter. Never Surrender by the Squinters is the world's best GWS Giants AFL fan-made podcast and we know it. And now that Ragnar has migrated from angry email writing fan to embittered podcast pundit, there is room in our inbox for YOU!
