Two Good Sports

A four-day festival of footy is descending on Adelaide, and South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas talks with Georgie on why it's so important, supporting Port Adelaide over the Crows, and his plans to make Adelaide the go-to city for sport.  Plus, sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson did something incredible in the prestigious Stawell Gift that had us shocked. A 9-metre head start? Crazy.  We talk the AFL Gather Round, 40-point blowouts in the NRL and athletics being sexy again.    Harvey Norman love sport.

She's an eight‑time Grand Slam champion, former world number one, Billie Jean King Cup captain and owner of the best arms in world sport. Tennis champion Sam Stosur joins us to reflect on life after tennis, the unique highs and lows of the game and what it really means to lead Team Australia. The future of the women’s game is bright with Talia Gibson and Storm Hunter leading the charge, but behind the glamour is a very real financial grind - Sam explains why it's such a slog even at the highest level. From sleeping in train stations to life‑changing prize money, five‑set debates to Italian marble benchtops, we're gifted all the stories from one of the very best to step on the court.   Harvey Norman love sport.

This week we're joined by Ben Tudhope, Paralympic silver medalist and all-round legend, to debrief us on the Winter Paralympics in Milano Cortino and lift the lid on his incredible career achievements.  Australia's youngest ever Winter Paralympian overcame a dislocated shoulder to bring us home two medals in 2026, a silver and a bronze. We find out how he did it, what's next as he looks toward 2030 in the French Alps, and why the tears wouldn't stop flowing when he stood up on the podium.   Harvey Norman love sport.

We start this week's chat by asking the burning questions - what’s next for the Matildas after coming so close to Asian Cup glory? Can the AFL eliminate the ‘grub’ factor? And could Kylie unlock a twilight Grand Final at the G? For our main discussion, Abbey shares a deeply personal and difficult story that speaks to all women in media. A year on from an incident that saw the perpetrator jailed, it’s a reminder that harassment is real, but there are laws to protect those who may find themselves in a similar situation. There is help available if you have been the victim of sexual harassment. 1800RESPECT provides confidential counselling, information and referrals to support services which could include legal services, sexual assault support services and organisations with powers to investigate complaints.

It's the Grand Final rematch this week, but that's all in the past for the Broncos who haven't got off to the best start this season. Melbourne Storm legend and friend of the show Ryan Hoffman is with us to talk his new role in the AFL, the best leaders he's ever had and what made them unique, and how coaches are managing their teams in 2026 with some very interesting methods.    Harvey Norman love sport.

This week Scott Pendlebury dodged suspension thanks to being a Very Good Bloke, while Essendon rookie Jayden Nguyen revealed he panic‑deleted old DMs to his idol Lin Jong to avoid stage‑five‑clinger vibes, and is now paying it forward as an idol himself. The main event though, is of course the Matildas storming into an Asian Cup final on home soil, with rom‑com energy, Sam Kerr brilliance, and Alanna Kennedy in the golden boot race. Plus, we chat with Matildas defender Kaitlyn Torpey about Final prep, table tennis rivalries and the secret stuff that's powering the team.   Harvey Norman love sport.

Last week there was a story that went far beyond sport. What happened to the Iranian women’s football team during the Asian Cup was about safety, and impossible choices. These athletes came to Australia to compete and were instead forced to navigate war, surveillance and global attention, simply for playing football. We wanted to talk about what that means, why some players have now been granted asylum, and how unfair it is that women chosen for their talent were put in such danger.   Harvey Norman love sport.

Abbey finally hits the Formula One as a punter and confirms it’s the best day out - until heartbreak strikes when hometown hero Oscar Piastri crashes out before the race even begins. Add in a Matildas Asian Cup draw that makes the path to the final even harder, Tom Hanks casually rocking up to a Giants game, and endless AFL-NRL headline wars as Round Zero spars with the Vegas round, and you get one of the biggest weeks in sport.   Harvey Norman love sport.

It’s been a big week in sport. Footy is back across both codes, the F1 season kicked off in Melbourne, the Matildas narrowly missed out on topping the group in the Asian Cup and the calendar is absolutely heaving. The AFL/NRL headline war fired up as Andrew Dillon floats Aussie Rules at the Olympics (respectfully unhinged), Abbey recounts meeting Lewis Hamilton and his unmatched aura, and we pay tribute to the late, great Dennis Cometti — a once‑in‑a‑generation voice who shaped how Australians remember sport.    Harvey Norman love sport.

Lights out and away we go! As the 2026 Formula 1 season kicks off in Melbourne, we sit down with one of the sport’s most candid and charismatic figures, Guenther Steiner. On the eve of Grand Prix weekend, Guenther breaks down what you really need to know about a brand-new era of F1 — from the end of DRS to the new hybrid electric engines — and weighs up whether these changes will actually make racing better.   Harvey Norman love sport.

This week we're joined by one of Australian cricket’s fiercest competitors — World Cup winner, Ashes star, big‑moment specialist and newly appointed Australian women’s captain, Sophie Molineux. Recorded before Soph was unfortunately ruled out of the Australia–India series with a back injury, this chat dives deep into leadership, pressure and what it actually means to captain one of the most successful teams in world sport. Soph opens up about the moment she got the call, the captaincy selection process, and being forced to articulate her values after a lifetime spent letting her cricket do the talking.    Harvey Norman love sport.

Season Four is officially open! We're back with big feelings, player‑movement grief, winter sport brilliance and a still-burning (though maybe ever so slighty quenched by recent events) ice hockey obsession. From pure joy to a very public fumble, this episode is a reminder of how quickly sport can give you everything — and take it away just as fast.   Harvey Norman love sport.

This week, we're joined by Nina Kennedy, Australia’s greatest ever female pole vaulter and the woman who quite literally stood on top of the world in Paris. We talk champagne rituals, manifesting Olympic dreams, and why success doesn’t actually change the things that matter most.   Harvey Norman love sport.

It’s the final stop on our Unofficial Green & Gold journey, and what a way to go out. We're wrapping up Australia’s most successful Winter Games ever, celebrating a medal haul that exceeded all expectations — and delivered plenty of moments that had us yelling at the TV, crying on the couch, and doing some extremely loose medal‑table maths.

Fresh off her gold medal win in kayak cross at the Paris Olympics, Noemie Fox joins us for a ride down memory lane.

Georgie’s supported the Maroons for more than 30 years — and they’ve just delivered one of the greatest wins in sport. Like Blues tears through a leaky sieve, this was a victory full of emotion, defiance, and deep humanity. With personal tragedy at the heart of the Maroons' motivation, this win wasn't just about rugby league — it was about resilience, connection, and playing for something bigger.   “Harvey Norman love sport.
