Bucket List Sporting Events, Galvin Fallout & AFL Chaos | Ahead of the Game Ep. 22
What’s your #1 sporting event to attend? Ryan tries to lock down the ultimate list, and Jez is fired up he wasn’t consulted.
In Episode 22 of Ahead of the Game, Ryan debuts Tux’s Top 5 Sporting Events to Attend, featuring:
- A Super Bowl experience that overshadows the game itself
- A tie-breaking State of Origin Game 3 at Suncorp
- The AFL Grand Final’s unmatched fan culture
- NBA All-Star Weekend’s pure showbiz
- And a wildcard entry: any World Cup Final, across any code
But this list wasn’t without controversy, and Jez brings his own thoughts on what should’ve made the cut.
Then it's into this week’s Below Average, with another NRL contract saga dominating headlines. The Lachlan Galvin vs Tigers standoff has spiralled, and the boys break down whether the club's hard stance is fair—or if they’ve just burned a rising star.
Lastly, the Western Bulldogs’ stunning collapse against Brisbane gets called out, after blowing a 40-point lead in the second half. Ryan also battles through a string of tough AFL player names in what Jez calls his “worst pronunciation effort yet.”
This one’s got footy drama, big opinions, and your sporting bucket list all in one place.
