This Show is dedicated entirely to reviewing the 2023 AFL Grand Final and Collingwood's record tying 16th Premiership. As well as a wrap up of the AFLW, NBL and Premier League. The Sports Desk team also welcome a new recruit to the show. But as usual, it is hosted by Sam Menhennet, Jerry Ng, Liam Cole & Jason Evans.

Hailing from the Mountain View Hotel in Richmond, Sam Menhennet, Jerry Ng, Liam Cole and Jason Evans preview the one day in September where one AFL Club hoist the Holy Grail of Football. Will it be the Collingwood Magpies? Or will it be the Brisbane Lions? This is the first Grand Final between these two sides in 20 years. They have been the best two teams across the AFL all year and it has been awe-inspiring to relive the journey the Pies and the Lions took to reach this point. Let's see how the team believe the Grand Final will go down. This special occasion is also marked by a special guest in 4x Premiership Coach, the one and only Coach Cole. Some of the greatest insights footy fans would never have considered if it weren't for Coach Cole's astute observations of the game Follow him on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube & TikTok

Cue the Don McLean, The Lions are in the Grand Final! Much like John Denver, Brisbane take the Country Roads on their trip to the MCG perhaps to prove legitimacy to the old saying "The more things change, the more they stay the same" with Collingwood waiting in the wings. Sam Menhennet, Jerry Ng, Liam Cole and Jason Evans discuss the games that led to this point, and evaluate the Blues and Giants' 2023 season, a season to be admired and inspire all footy fans. Who do the team believe will win the Brownlow Medal? A varied talent pool of players have a serious case to make. AFLW and the VFL Grand Final also gets discussed as well as a rocking week for sporting capital of Melbourne, all rounded off with some intriguing results in the Premier League and a chaotic 'Minute Mondays' Quiz.

Footy Christmas they call it. The People's Grand Final it can be referred to as well. The Prelim finals for this AFL Season could not be more insane. Collingwood vs GWS get's previewed as well as Brisbane Lions vs Carlton at the Gabba Saturday Night by Blue Bagger Sam Menhennet and his budget friendly support network of Jerry Ng, Liam Cole and Jason Evans. Not only that, VFL Grand Final has caught the eye of the panel and the AFLW season get's further broken down in what's shaping up to have be a fun first weeks of footy. Plus other sporting events happening across Melbourne.

Sam Menhennet is speechless. The SportsDesk team is speechless. Carlton are in the Prelim. Have a listen to Sam recount the victory from his experience at the MCG that very Friday night. That's really all the preview to this episode you need, really.

AFL Semi Finals, where six shrinks to four. Melbourne vs Carlton, a game that has raised the blood pressure of The Sports Desk's own, Sam Menhennet, but perhaps a big call made by Liam Cole and Jason Evans could settle his nerves. Port Adelaide vs GWS, sure to be a seismic do or die matchup at the Adelaide Oval, does a 13 game home and away winning streak only amount to a straight set bow out? We shall see. This week is also very news heavy, with AFL trades, A-League Grand Final news, Cricket, Tennis, and a truly poignant occasion, immortalising a great Australian sporting accomplishment with the unveiling of 'The Cathy Freeman Stand'.

CARLTON WIN! CARLTON WIN! CARLTON WIN! ...But Sam Menhennet is sporting a North Melbourne jumper. How can that be? James Worth also shows some humility in the Blue Bagger festivities, as well as a review of the Socceroos vs Mexico at AT&T Stadium and a preview the Euro Qualifiers. Jerry Ng & Liam Cole go in-depth with the rest of the weekend in AFL Finals, which for Liam was a bitter moment given his Saints were knocked out rather comfortably by GWS. But Carlton is the team that has taken over the desk, the studio and the town. So Jason Evans thought he could pull of a cheeky trick for this edition of 'Minute Mondays'.

Collingwood locked their defense in and the Demons couldn't handle the chaos ball in the Magpies 7 point win at the MCG in Thursday's Qualifying Final. An in-depth discussion breaking down the how is greatly needed from the team of Sam Menhennet, Liam Cole, Jerry Ng & Jason Evans. Or at least the team can try their best while ignoring the enormous navy blue elephant in the studio, the most important Carlton game in over a decade is hours away against the Sydney Swans, and Sam is feeling every human emotion at once delivering the show tonight. It also doesn't help that Jason has laid down the gauntlet regarding the fate of the Blues and the responsibility they hold on delivering a memorable finals series as a whole. Liam's rather nervous too, as the team have doubts whether the defensive fort of the Saints can withstand the possible orange siege of GWS. And of course, Brisbane vs Port Adelaide gets previewed in quite possibly the most exciting final the weekend has to offer.

18 started, 8 remain and the excitement (or nerves if you Sam Menhennet and Liam Cole) are ever increasingly building towards the first of the AFL Finals. The Sports Desk team also turn their attention to the first week of AFLW and the VFL, the depth of the footy world doesn't get any deeper than this! Jerry Ng explains how the Boomers got knocked out of the FIBA World Cup, the Premier League gets discussed, Jason Evans RUINS the whole good vibes going in this show with his horrific singing, awful MC'ing and reporting CM Punk's AEW firing when absolutely no one asked. At least he can say that this week's Minute Mondays was a pretty good quiz but that does not redeem his previous actions! The biggest twist, however was a brief appearance from SportsDesk alumni, Michael Serpell, meeting the full team in person for the first time and it was splendid.

Time to flick into top gear. It's Finals time! Tonight's Sports Desk is the issuing of the first general impressions of the final eight battling it out for the flag, as well as weighing in the Player Awards night from Wednesday. A bit of fun is also had as members from the show past and present have their words come back to haunt them as the team reflect on some of the horrific howlers or perfect prophecies deemed by the resident 'Hot Take Chicken'. The Sports Desk tonight is hosted by Sam Menhennet, Jerry Ng, Liam Cole & Jason Evans.

Carlton make the finals! No, it's not a dream! Sam Menhennet takes revenge on Jason Evans and returning James Worth, as well as Jerry Ng, for ever doubting the mighty Baggers hunt for a finals rebirth. Just listen to how wrong the panel called it throughout the whole home-and-away season. The Sports Desk team also break down the rest of the final round of footy. Plus a discussion led by Jerry as to where Australia stand in the FIBA World Cup, and the highest scoring 'Minute Mondays' so far. Gather 'round Blues fans!

Liam Cole and Jason Evans run rough shot in studio, to create a car-crash preview of the upcoming week in Premier League and Round 24, the final week of the home & away AFL season alongside Sam Menhennet, live via satellite. The task at hand was to make a show full of imperfections, entertaining.

What a wonderful time to be Australian after a fantastic World Cup completed its final chapter with a cracking contest between Spain and England. The team of Sam Menhennet, Jerry Ng, Liam Cole & Jason Evans detail the makings to how Spain hoisted the Cup. Not only that, the Matilda's get one more last moment to celebrate their World Cup campaign, even in defeat to Sweden, the team reflect one last time on why they still have won the admiration of everyone in the nation. The Premier League is back on, so back to watching the round ball in the weary hours of the morning, Sam will guide you through the games to pay attention to in the early weeks. As always, the AFL gets reviewed. Damian Hardwick has signed a 6 year deal with the Gold Coast Suns. Round 23 saw seven of the top eight spots solidified for September. And if you like many of the team are sick of Jason's ridiculous takes on this show. This is the can't miss episode for you as he gets his much deserved comeuppance from the the team after Essendon's 126 point defeat. To be perfectly honest: There should be a new special layer to Dante's Inferno dedicated just for Essendon supporters.

Matildas you’ve done us proud! Sam Menhennet, Liam Cole, Jerry Ng & Jason Evans recap all the FIFA Women’s World Cup and preview the third place playoff between Australia v Sweden and the Final between Spain v England.  We also go through the Boomers injury woes, as we preview the second last AFL 2023 round for the year!

GO THE MATILDA'S! On the cusp of perhaps the greatest moment in Australian sporting history, Sam Menhennet, Liam Cole, Jerry Ng & Jason Evans review Australia's penalty shootout win over France in a "Where Were You When..." moment in time. As well as preview the challenge ahead verses England in the Semi-Final (or in Jason's case, RUIN the preview and curse the Matilda's). The round ball coverage continues with a return of the Premier League, and AFL Round 22 gets broken down.

AFL and FIFA are battling it out this weekend for who can obtain the most eyeballs. Luckily for you, The Sports Desk has you covered with a review of the Matilda's 2-0 win over Denmark and the how they may fare against France, Saturday night, and just how Australian sports fans can watch it all even when cheering on their AFL side at the game! Though it must be said, Round 22 makes things all the more perilous for so many clubs, a big preview is in order, as well as taking a moment to salute to the careers of some world-class players who have announced their plans to hang up the boots at season's end. Not only that, how does the team react to the NRL going to Vegas? The Sports Desk: Hosted tonight by Sam Menhennet, Jerry Ng, Liam Cole & Jason Evans

Let's keep this brief. It's the single biggest night for The Matilda's. A knock out clash tonight in the Round of 16 against Denmark, and The Sports Desk cheer squad of Sam Menhennet, Jerry Ng, Liam Cole and Jason Evans are spurring on the excitement. It's all about the Matilda's in a rare show where Monday is preview day! But not to worry, they still have a Round 21 AFL review, a look at the news and a return to form in the end of show quiz, 'Minute Mondays'.

Do you like car-crash radio? Plenty of it on this edition of The Sports Desk! Sam Menhennet attempts to get a word in over a rowdy Liam Cole, Jerry Ng and Jason Evans as they still haven't recovered from the Matilda's defeating Canada 4-0, so excited they are they invited Sports Desk alumni, Michael Serpell to join the celebrations. The Ashes end in a draw, and the AFL season gets even tenser with this week marking Liam vs Sam, and the rest of their Round 21 preview.

Upset city! Carlton beat the Pies! Freo beat the Cats, the Suns beat the Lions, even West Coast won this past weekend! But the biggest upset of all is Liam Cole is the one who guides the Sports Desk team through some of the big events of adversity facing Australian sport at the moment. Sam Menhennet and Jerry Ng preview the do or die match between the Matildas and Canada. Jason Evans debates Liam in how the final day of the final Ashes Test will play out against England. And coming to an iota of understanding how Round 20 in the AFL went the way it did just needed to be heard. Plus, listen in to the team recap their favourite memories of Lance 'Buddy' Franklin who has announced his retirement from the game earlier today.

Sam Menhennet is nervous for this Friday preview night on The Sports Desk as Carlton and Collingwood take to the MCG in the prime time slot. He and Jerry Ng also a having the heart rates pulsating through their systems at Nigeria going 3-2 over The Matilda's, they have the review for that. And over in England, the Aussies are off to a good start in the Ashes 5th test, and that review is headed up by Liam Cole & Jason Evans.

Sports Desk listeners, for Sam Menhennet, Jerry Ng, Liam Cole & Jason Evans, there is just far too much sport to get excited about to cover in one hour, but they are going to give it a crack. Jerry & Liam review the drawn Ashes Fourth Test at Old Trafford, Sam breaks down the first few games of the Women's World Cup and the games to come in the week ahead with an interesting view on who he sees as a very threatening team in the Group Stages thus far. Jason gets an absolute howler of commentary relayed back to him, and he follows it up with a howler of a quiz. Not to worry, Round 19 offered up some fantastic footy. With Saturday being one of the best lineup of games across one day in a very long time.

FIFA and Footy and Ashes (oh my). So much to break down with the terrific start by the Matildas defeating Ireland at Stadium Australia, 1-0. Plenty to discuss around the grounds and a preview of the Nigerian side that awaits in game 2. It's quite rapidly falling back into English control with the Aussies getting pounded in the Fourth Test in the battle for the Ashes at Old Trafford. Jason Evans and Jerry Ng break down the first two days of cricket. Finally, AFL Round 19 is previewed as Sam Menhennet is likely to be welcoming his beloved Blues into the Top 8 by the time the weekend is done, but the stories lie with some of the most important clashes of the season thus far regarding Finals implications in Brisbane vs Geelong and Port Adelaide vs Collingwood.

Wow! What a weekend! Sam Menhennet, Jerry Ng and Jason Evans celebrate the Matilda's win over France last Friday night and preview the group stages for the Women's World Cup kicking off this Thursday. Australia retained the ashes by three runs in the ODI. Even better! Round 18 in the AFL and Sam rolled out the blue carpet for Carlton snapping the winning streak of the Power at Marvel Stadium and Jerry gets some just desserts in Sam's festivities.

It brings great excitement to preview The Matildas vs France at Marvel Stadium on this Friday Night in what should be a momentous occasion for football in Australia as the Women's World Cup lies ahead. Sam Menhennet is going to be at that game, don't you know? Jerry Ng also discusses how the ladies are faring against England in the Women's ODI and the challenges they face being 1-0 down. Liam Cole, gets given the moniker of 'The Oracle' for his analysis of the now sacked, Stuart Dew. And many of the games in AFL Round 18 have left Jason Evans with minor states of conflict.

Sam Menhennet reunites with James Worth in an unexpected Sports Desk also featuring the return of Adam Miller and joined, as always, by Jason Evans. The team break down the week of AFL, and with James in the studio, the Bombers are starting to get some pumping up.

Lots of transfers to discuss in the round ball game across the world, and excitement builds for the Matildas as the Women's World Cup looms. James, Adam & Jason discuss how England secured victory in the Ashes Third Test and what challenges face Australia going into Old Trafford. This also marks the first show which we end on a new feature to The Sports Desk... 'Minute Mondays', our new weekly end of show quiz! Stick to the end to hear it.
