2021

The crew from Border Barrels travel once more into the fray to bring you another podcast for your listening pleasure. To be honest, this was a boozy one. Simmo forgot that ABBA existed, Gratzy uncovers his google history and Hudo makes the bold claim that he was the first of his name.

Boy oh boy, woweee! What a final. First Dee’s GF win in 57 years, absolute brilliance from Petracca and perhaps an iconic moment Caleb Daniel would love to forget? Great way to finish the season. Now for a few weeks off. Peace.

The boys from Border Barrels are back in the living room to give their take on the weekends games. Hudo’s body was feeling finals pressure and had to reach for the water for a bit of a reset. General consensus is the D’s are on for the Granny but Gratz has hope for his Doggo’s.

The lads from Border Barrels dial in to discuss Dogs vs Lions, Cats vs GWS and the shock of Nadia Bartel controversially advertising a $3 plate from K-Mart. More next week x

It’s finals time! Still locked down the lads dial in and give their takes and predictions for future rounds. Sime seems noticeably tired. Maybe he should have gone to bed at 8:30 rather than 9. At this point, I’m testing to see if anyone reads this. I don’t reckon anyone does. Footy footy footy.

This week the BB crew were faced with a second lockdown pod. Simmo refrained from the monologue, Hudo was cracking a stout at 1pm in the afternoon and Gratzy was still in the car for some reason. Had some huge games.

This week the boys from Border Barrels were forced to work from home.

In episode 21 (wow) we wrap up the Tokyo 2020 Olympic coverage, talk about some footy and have a beer or two while we’re doing it. Gratzy and Hudo get in an argument and Sime leaves the room multiple times for some reason. More next week I spose.

The BB crew stumble through a 45 minute rant on the Olympics and recap round 20 of the AFL season. The boys also review “The Third Horseman” by Deeds Brewing which is the first beer Simmo and Hudo have had since June. Oooft.

In this episode, we cover round 19 of the AFL, The Olympics and an interesting claim about Cane Toads. Have a bloody listen.

The boys of Border Barrels recap round 18. Well, sort of. We discussed the footy, a minor indiscretion Simmo had with George Gregan as well as what Gratzy watched when he got home from the pub throughout his 20’s.

This season is going QUICK! The boys unpack round 17 of the AFL season. Walsh ran his guts out, Doedee went full kamikaze and Danger had a cute little cuddle with Eddie. Don’t forget to give our Instagram a like (@borderbarrelspodcast) and make sure you are always polite to your postman. See ya next week.

The BB crew recap round 16 of the AFL season. The Tiges slip out of the 8, Brisbane continues to show us their worth and the dogs sneak into top spot. Gratz went to some footy and drank a few beers.

The BB crew cover round 15 of the AFL season. The bye rounds are now over, the big beers are in and Hudo puts Gratzy and Simmo in time out for interrupting. Don’t forget to follow us on @borderbarrelspodcast on instagram and have fun doing it.

This… was a bit of a train wreck. Round 14, the final bye round. Gratzy and Hudo go head to head LIVE watching Essendon vs Hawthorn, Simmo expresses his disappointment at the Bombers Powerade wastage and Hudo almost carks it mid pod. If you liked this one, theres 13 others so lucky you.

AFL Round 13 wrap. The second of the bye rounds. Geelong looking dominant, Hawthorn finally got a win and the King twins are allegedly getting traded for a pair of garden rakes. We also had a few beers and a couple of laughs.

The lads from BB break down games and happenings from round 12 (or 11.5 really) the bye round. D’s are STILL on top, Tiges turned cerebral in the fouth quarter and Simmo accurately predicts the result between Dogs and Dockers. There’s also a few packs of footy cards being opened. Still no gum.

Round 11 of the AFL was an interesting one. COVID made a shock return from injury and plagued half of the games. The D’s are on top of the table, Jack took a screamer and the package was delivered to the Don’s right on time.

The BB Crew recap round 10 of the AFL. This week we discuss the D’s first loss, our hate for keyboard warriors and Simmo’s love for Aliir Aliir.

The BB crew come to you this week with the round 9 recap, as well as a fresh new intro! Highlights of the round include the mighty D’s still sit on top of the ladder, the shinboner spirit has been revitalised as well as another ripper performance from Dusty.

Our longest episode yet! In this edition we discuss the happenings of round 8 of the AFL. Demons remain undefeated, Tiges had a shocker and Port pull on the prison bar jersey even though Uncle Eddie said no. Special thanks to Scott for sending us a ripper country footy barrel.

In this episode, we discuss round 7 of the AFL back in the comfort of Simmo’s dimly lit living room.

This week, the crew from Border Barrels review round 6 of the AFL live from Dondy’s shed. Bombers got up, Mitch Duncan kicked the barrel of the season and Gratzy runs through some of the strangest footy injuries on record.

We’re back again. In this episode Simmo, Huddo and Gratzy discuss round 5 of the AFL, the AFLW grand final, as well as a few tasty beers that went down a little too well on this episode.

The boys of Border Barrels recap round 4 of the AFL. Essendon’s one win streak came to an end, the shinboner spirit was still flaccid and unfortunately, we never found out where Justin Grundy disappeared to.

Simmo, Huddo and Gratzy discuss round 3 of the AFL while discussing who is the god of AFL football, how flaccid the shinboner spirit has become as well as Essendon’s rare return to form.

We’re back! In episode two we discuss round 2 of the AFL, the trade market as well as trying to remember which Baldwin brother threw a cheeseburger at their own child (Google suggests none of them). All this while sipping on a delicious Deeds Brewing ‘Hypercolour’ Californian IPA.

The beginning. The first ever episode of Border Barrels. Simmo, Gratzy and Huddo discuss round 1 of the AFL, their SuperCoach teams, premiership predictions and also share their common love for Deeds Brewing. Coming to you from the banks of the Murray in beautiful Albury/Wodonga.
