From Fitzroy nostalgia to Marvel mayhem to a much-needed win, there’s plenty to unpack without spoiling a thing. We kick things off at Fitzroy Bowls Club for the first Historical Society night of the year. There’s jumper drama, colour-clash conspiracies, and a return of a beloved Fitzroy design. Then it’s off to Marvel Stadium for a strangely timed matchup that somehow becomes our first win of the year. Expect talk of momentum swings, midfield muscle, surprise tags, unexpected role changes, a forward line that finally clicks — and a backline held together by tape, hope and a Swiss Army knife of a teammate. There’s also a cameo from the MRO, who, for once, behaves like a rational being. We head to the VFL too, with debuts, comebacks, late surges and a few standout performers worth circling for the future. After that, it’s Media Watch, Ticks, Crosses, and Ash’s favourite segment of the year so far: the Bin and the Basket — featuring a suspension saga, a quiet masterclass in professionalism, and a few media takes that probably should’ve stayed in the drafts. Plus: • The best Lions in each line, • A joke at Collingwood’s expense, • Ash’s Pod of the Week, and • A special Top Five sent in by a listener. And to close it out, a look ahead to a huge Thursday night clash — a must-win game, national TV, and a few selection questions looming large. It’s all Lions, all passion, all chaos… and absolutely no balance whatsoever. Hit play and dive in.","meta_description":"G’day Lions fans — Ash is back and this week delivers just about everything except a quiet moment.
