The Back Pocket
If you’re looking for AFL podcasts who turn the attention to our unsung heroes of the AFL - defenders - then The Back Pocket is the podcast for you. It is not a very serious podcast, but it is very serious about defenders. Home of the Scarlett- Silvagni medal, join Alastair Hampton and Jack Turner on TBP each week as they discuss what happened down back. The Back Pocket is an independent footy podcast, and you can find us at https://thebackpocketau.com and on all social media platforms @TheBackPocketAU
Episodes
Join us one last (?) time for the 2025 AFL season to talk defenders, footy, the AFLW and more. We give our final votes and crown the Scarlett-Silvagni Medal winner, and tip the winners for the first week of the finals.
And after all that, there was one round left. AFLW opening weekend was sick, don't say slurs, Ryan Lester is Harris Andrews' favourite player, and things are looking a bit Dockery.

Whatever they're offering Wanganeen-Milera, double it; Essendon are hell bent on breaking the debutants record; most of the weekend was record-setting beltings, and the finals race is now (truly) down to nine.

Alastair puts together a passionate defense of and amendments to the Father-Son Rule, and how we can justify keeping it in the league.

This week on The Back Pocket podcast, Jargon is Jargon for Jargon, we chat teams decimated by injury, flag seedings heading into the first of the bye rounds, and not being nepo-babies. The Moose Missile escapes his terror charge against Darcy Byrne-Jones, and where on earth is the AFLW fixture?

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
