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.

We enjoyed another... well at least an okay level of football on the field, but endured another grim week off of it. The top eight is getting more interesting, Flagmantle might be back, and our favourite defender wins the ten votes this week.
Alastair puts together a passionate defense of and amendments to the Father-Son Rule, and how we can justify keeping it in the league.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
