From the do-or-die to danger games, scrappy wins to four-quarter performances, the dictionary of Australian rules football is choc-a-bloc full of unique phrases, cliches and for the uninitiated... banana skins.

What counts as must-win? Which players deserve public nicknaming? And how much gusto should each post-victory song earn?

Harper Pestinger, Hamish O'Brien, Connor Buttigieg and guest adjudicators you've actually heard of are here to answer the questions you didn't know you care about but actually really, really do.

New season on SYN kicks off at 6pm on Sunday, 9th of February.

Ben Cameron | Wool and leather, crepe paper, and the very fabric of the game

The final siren has sounded at Dictionary HQ, but the boys are in the studio to give one last worthy hurrah in radio junk time. 

Thanks for listening this season, DicHeads. Catch Harper every Friday from 8am on SYN's breakfast show Get Cereal, and Hamish riding his camel to get to Bishkek in time for the Central Asian Australian Football League grand final. 

If you've liked the show, give us your five stars or send us an email: footydictionary@gmail.com

Coin toss arcs, players with anxious faces and the most generic fixture imaginable

Harper's coming into the studio at his highest point this week, still buzzing off Essendon's streak-snapping win over Port. Hamish is not so happy - at least until he hears a football media great's name in an Arabic-language 2000s pop banger. 

Stick around for a show-closing poem dedicated to the reserved seat members who you always hear but never see.

P.S. Happy Birthday, Dennis.

Commeti-isms, purple patches and the footy-loving king of Egyptian pop

A hush has gone 'round Dictionary HQ after Carlton and Essendon were consigned to 0-2 starts ahead of their primetime fixtures this weekend. 

Hamish has some melancholy melodies and Harper is bringing some early-season commentary faux pas to the table. Tune in to find out the precise definition of a 'cricket score', what's gone wrong with the MCG LEDs and why we met be set for a new age of half-time entertainment.
