2026 Round 5 Preview (Gather Round)

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 19:00:00 +1100

As we gear up for Gather Round, we look back at the first time these teams played each other. This week, the entire AFL world descends on South Australia for a festival of footy. But before the first bounce in the Barossa or the lights go up at Adelaide Oval, we’re digging into the archives to uncover the origin stories of these Round 5 matchups.

From the very first clash between the Crows and the Blues to the early days of the Suns and Swans rivalry, we explore the games that set the stage for this weekend’s blockbusters.

2026 Round 4 Preview

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 06:30:00 +1100

The stage is set, the early-season hype is meeting the reality of the grind, and the ladder is already starting to tell a story—welcome to Round 4 of the 2026 AFL Season!

Brisbane Lions vs. Collingwood: We travel back to 1997,

North Melbourne vs. Carlton: We return to 1925

Melbourne vs. Gold Coast Suns: We revisit 2011

2026 Round 3 Preview

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:30:00 +1100

The stage is set, the early-season hype is meeting the reality of the grind, and the ladder is already starting to tell a story—welcome to Round 3 of the 2026 AFL Season!

The Kick to Kick Podcast is back to find the soul of this week’s matchups by obsessive time-traveling. We’re stripping away the 5G stadium tech to revisit the mud, the heritage, and the very first sparks of these rivalries.

Collingwood vs. GWS Giants: We revisit Round 18, 2012, at the MCG for the first-ever meeting between the league’s oldest powerhouse and its newest expansion. It was a "welcome to the big leagues" masterclass from a prime Magpies outfit against a GWS side full of teenagers still finding their AFL feet.
Fremantle vs. Richmond: We return to Round 1, 1995, for the Dockers' inaugural AFL match at the MCG. The Tigers spoiled the newcomers' debut by a mere five points, sparking a cross-continental rivalry defined by three decades of heart-stopping finishes and "what-if" moments.
Port Adelaide vs. West Coast: We look back at Round 15, 1997, when the SANFL giants met the AFL’s first interstate powerhouse for the first time. Played at Subiaco, it was a brutal, defensive grind that proved the "New Port" wasn't just joining the league to participate—they were there to challenge the established order.

2026 Round 2 Preview

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 06:30:00 +1100

The overreactions are in, the ladder is moving, and the winter grind is officially here—welcome to Round 2 of the 2026 AFL Season!

The Kick to Kick Podcast is back to find the soul of this week’s matchups by obsessing over the past. We’re stripping away the modern gloss to revisit the mud, the heritage, and the first sparks of these legendary rivalries.

This week, we’re breaking down:

St Kilda vs. Geelong: We return to Round 10, 1897, for the very first VFL-era clash between these teams. It was a gritty, low-scoring affair at Corio Oval that established Geelong's early dominance over the developing Saints.
Adelaide Crows vs. Brisbane Lions: We revisit Round 5, 1997, a season where both clubs were defining their modern identities. It was a tactical masterclass by Malcolm Blight’s Crows against a newly merged Lions outfit still finding its roar.
Western Bulldogs vs. Gold Coast Suns: We look back at Round 3, 2011, when a prime Robert Murphy led the Dogs against a teenage Gary Ablett Jr. and the fledgling Suns. It was a "welcome to the big leagues" moment that showed the gap between the old guard and the new.
Sydney Swans vs. Essendon: We go back to Round 1, 1982, for the Swans' home game at the SCG. As the "Bloodshot" South Melbourne identity officially began its transformation into the Sydney powerhouse we know today.

2026 Round 1 Preview

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 06:30:00 +1100

The engine is warm, the cobwebs are gone, and now the real grind begins—welcome to Round 1 of the 2026 AFL Season!

The Kick to Kick Podcast is back for the main event. After a high-octane Opening Round, we’re settling into the rhythm of the season by doing what we do best: honoring the future by obsessing over the past. This week, we travel back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries to see how these legendary rivalries first sparked to life.

This week, we’re breaking down:

Carlton vs. Richmond: We look back at the origins of the "Traditional" season opener. Before it was a Thursday night blockbuster, it was a battle for inner-city bragging rights. We retrace their first official VFL encounter in Round 1, 1908, where the Tigers made their league debut against the reigning premier Blues.
Essendon vs. Hawthorn: A rivalry built on "Line in the Sand" moments. We head back to Round 4, 1925, the first time the Mayblooms (as they were then known) met the powerhouse Mosquitto Fleet, long before the blood-and-thunder of the 80s took over.
Collingwood vs. Adelaide Crows: A modern classic with a relatively short history. We revisit Round 15, 1991, when the new kids from South Australia first stepped onto Victoria Park to face the reigning premiers in a true culture shock.
Melbourne vs. St Kilda: Two of the oldest clubs in the land. We go all the way back to Round 1, 1897—the very first weekend of VFL football—to see how the Dees and Saints started a century-plus of competition.
Gold Coast Suns vs. West Coast Eagles: From the expansion era to now. We look back at Round 11, 2011, their inaugural clash at Subiaco, and how the pecking order has shifted in the 15 years since.

2026 Round 0 Preview

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +1100

Dust off the boots and wind back the clock—the Kick to Kick Podcast is back for 2026!"

We’re sticking to what we do best: breaking down the modern game by digging up its deepest roots. Each week, we preview the upcoming round through the lens of history, retracing the steps to the very first time these clubs met.

This week we chat about

Sydney Swans vs. Carlton
Gold Coast Suns vs. Geelong Cats
GWS Giants vs. Hawthorn
Brisbane Lions vs. Western Bulldogs
St Kilda vs. Collingwood

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 17:45:17 +1100

Here we are with the second part of the 1988 season (sorry for the delay). We'll dive into the top 5 before really discussing the finals. We learned about a controversial preliminary final we had never known about and we discuss the dominance of Hawthorn, a vintage Dermie year... in what was an incredibly dominant season. All this and more in the episode.

We have had quite the issue with our software as of late, and this was our second take recording this. It is quite frustrating at times, so many apologies for that. The issue will be fixed for the 89 season.

Another week of fantastic finals, and here we are with a rather shorter episode to chat about the prelims, Sydney ending their streak against the Power and finally breaking through for a win.

And who will win the Brownlow? Also, to build toward the 2024 grand final, we've included the grand final interview we did with the 1899 captain in a very old episode.

Mon, 16 Sep 2024 20:24:41 +1100

Last week we poo-pooed the semi final week as the least interesting, and boy were we wrong! This weekend's game were amazing! The young Port team had a nice link to the 1961 Hawks team. History was on Port's side this week, but probably won't be next week. While the Lions had the third biggest comeback of all time in a final. Finally, we look ahead to Preliminary week and make some bold predictions. All that and more on this week's episode.

Round 15 2023 Review

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 14:13:14 +1100

Round 15 brings a close to 4 weeks of bye rounds, we discuss the merits of this. We also need to go into the record books for the Swans big win over the Eagles. The Pies with "another comeback" win. The Suns beat the Hawks and the Cats jump start their season in another wet game.

Round 14 2023 Review

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 16:23:00 +1100

Round 14, we discuss the Bye Curse, WE talk about Trent Cotchins 300th game (Jack Dyer gets a mention). The Blues kick 12 in a row. Tom Hickey gets another new team-mate (can he chase down the overall record). We also look ahead at Round 15, and wish that the Albert Thurgood Challenge Trophy was still a thing!
