In this episode, much like the title suggests, we preview the AFL finals. We talk about who like we like and don’t like and make a huge call about one of the usual members of our podcasts hypothetical AFL career.
49. Season Recap DOUBLE EPISODE
Huddo and Simmo do a season recap of the 2022 AFL season including many a stat. MANY A STAT. Good for some recon if you’re already looking ahead to the 2023 SuperCoach season with top performers, POD’s and potential picks for next year. Enjoy.
47. AFL Si-Phi Hour
Hud and Gratzy want to do all they can to keep their failed Supercoach preliminary finals off their minds, so things get a bit nutty in The Not So Good Shed. We almost shed a tear along with Ben Cunnington, as the great man makes his long awaited return from cancer.
46. Finals Fever
Finals fever hits the Not So Goods Shed! Simmo tries to keep it together both in Supercoach and real life. (Disclaimer: You can hear the moment he starts to slip thanks to the beer podcast we SWEAR we didn’t record on the same day).
45. Who Lairds, Wins.
The boys are back after a week off covering all the happenings from round 19 of the AFL and give the lay of the land for all things SuperCoach. Simmo has sneakily got up on the boys FOUR weeks running.
44. Return of Huddy Franklin
Hudo returns to the not so good shed to give us his extended thoughts on the round and Supercoach predictions from round 17. Gratz goes on a tare about Collingwood and SIMMO tops the scoring for the week.
43. Back on Tracc
With Hudson out with hamstring awareness, Simmo and Gratzy try to steer the ship through the latest round of AFL and SuperCoach for this week. They go through the ins and outs of their own team and cover the big moments of the round.
42. Hamstring Awareness Month
This week there are some big SuperCoach scores up for grabs and it has Gratzy feeling a little nervous. Getting into the business end of the season we talk about top scorers, trades we missed and who we’re about to make a move on. We also discuss the Tom Stewart incident.
41. Learning English
The Border Barrel Babes recap round 15 of the AFL and assess the damage incurred during the bye rounds as far as Supercoach is concerned. A bunch of upsets this week and key players out after suffering injuries. Hudo still remains top of the table and passed on some advice to Gratzy and Simmo.
40. Here We Go Again (Off the Bone)
The lads from Border Barrels are back in the ‘not so good shed’ to discuss the latest round of the AFL and their respective SuperCoach teams. Hudo had a blinder despite not even planning for the bye rounds and Simmo pipped Gratzy at the post.
39. BB Bowling Club
Ahhhh.. the bye rounds. Not too fun for footy fans but bloody interesting for SuperCoach enthusiasts. Hudo faired best this week with a whopping score, Simmo beat Gratzy so that’s something and somehow with less games we somehow banged on about things for 50 odd minutes. Enjoy x
38. Joel Sudar-Jephadrine
In this weeks episode, Hudo was victorious in the weekly Supercoach battle. Sime had a shocker and Zach put his foot in Kouts water bowl. Standard.
37. Christmas Casuals
This week Sime loses his mind over the SuperCoach app. In doing so, it probably highlights a flaw in his general intelligence. For the rest of the time, we covered the round that was. Huddo worked from home so apologies for another phone episode.
36. Cripps and Duds
In this weeks episode, Simmo claims the #1 Supercoach score… of the 3 people on the podcast. Patty Cripps ripps a 150 and resident DUD scores in the 50’s again for the second time in two weeks.
35. Maximum Gawn
In this episode we cover the games and our SuperCoach scores from round 7. Gratzy has a blinder, Simmo somehow beat Hudo and some dude named Petey beat us all. Unfortunately, we didn’t have Gratz with us this week and he had to dial in from ISO.

32. Electric Boots & Mohair Suits
The boys recap round two of the 2022 AFL complete with SuperCoach scores, predictions and insights. We also sampled some tasty beers from our new friends at Akasha, all delicious.
31. Monica Lipinski
On this week’s episode of Border Barrels, the boys welcome Round 1 in with open arms, although the arms quickly push the footy away after Hudo spends a whole day trekking to watch the Bombers get pumped.
30. 2022 AFL Season Preview
In this episode of Border Barrels, the boys once again run through their SuperCoach teams, and a big surprise leaves two-thirds of the crew flabbergasted. They also look at how this 2022 season will pan out, and the podcast is brought to a grinding halt after an intervention by the local fauna.
29. 2022 SuperCoach Team Reveals
Back for another season and back where it all began in Simmo’s dimly lit but appropriately air conditioned lounge room. In this pod we reveal our 2022 SuperCoach teams and everything else happening in the world of footy.
28. Once More Into the Fray
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.
27. Demon Dogs
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.
26. Prelim Final Wrap
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.
25. Semi Final Wrap
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
24. Finals Round 1
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.
23. Lockdown Laments via Telephono II
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.
22. Lockdown Laments via Telephono
This week the boys from Border Barrels were forced to work from home.
21. Moroccan in the Pool
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.
20. Olympic “Special”
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.
19. Squashed Frog
In this episode, we cover round 19 of the AFL, The Olympics and an interesting claim about Cane Toads. Have a bloody listen.
18. Georges 1-6
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.
17. Mountain Jew
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.
16. Solly Errornor
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.
15. Are You Gen-u-men?
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.
14. Jamarra Google-Hagan
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, there’s 13 others so lucky you.
13. Kettle of Worms
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.
12. Dank the Tank
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.
11. Potter’s Promise
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.
10. Pendle Peddler
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.
9. Crouching Jordan, Hidden Finger
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.
8. Prison Bar Blues
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.
6. Weekend at Dondy’s

5. The Legend of Bag of Ants
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.
4. Is Gratzy a Grub? We Think Yes
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.
3. The Shinboner is Flaccid
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.
2. Baldwin Burger Daughter
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.
1. The First of Many
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.
