When two waves collide, there’s a displacement of energy.

And when those waves are Orange and Blue, it’s not yet the month we don’t lose in — July, obviously — and you’ve got players slipping over, missing targets, and podcasters wandering around forlornly looking for somewhere to eat and commiserate… sometimes, somehow, the footy gods deliver.

Not on the scoreboard. With pizza.

Hats off to Basilico Pizza in Homebush for cheering us up with proper soul food: wood-fired pizzas, fresh toppings, and bases better than any you'd find on Lygon Street, Carlton. So that's a win at least.

Rags, Sparrow, Orca and Number 3 take you to the game, ride the emotion of it all, and then debrief in a converted petrol station in GREATER Western Sydney.

Just the stuff to get you through the week before Friday’s game against the Hawks. Which will be tough...

Stick fat, Orange Army, and Never Surrender. July is almost here.

Basilico Pizza: 161 Parramatta Road, Homebush. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did we lose? Sure.

Kingers, post game: “We’re better than our ladder position”, plus “Hoges was a mistake”. Frankly, we agree.

BUT...

Was Stormy magnificent? Absolutely.

Did Bluey have his own pill? Damn right. (Check his stats on that stats thing on Mongrel Punt — astounding. Bluey or Phoenix for the Kevin Sheedy Award in October).

Nevertheless... T'was still a loss, and losses mean only one thing: we must galvanise and come together. This week: literally, for once.

Join Rags and Orca as they go DEEP WITHIN THE BOWELS OF THE BEANSTALK to commiserate, speculate, and provide the usual unauthorised and uninformed opinions.

PLUS: INTERVIEWS WITH THE BANNER CREW!!!

The heart and soul of the club. Absolute legends. Great to get them on the pod.

AND A NEW SONG FROM BRAVO BISON!!!

We turn our eyes to the Blues. Let's get to the Beanstalk on Saturday arvo and have it rockin and rollin as the Giants look to bounce back. The timeslot, the weather, the fact it’s almost July — and we never lose in July — all shapes as a cracker.

Plus, Hoges has a point to prove. And Stormy is the best player in the AFL.

We love you, Toby. Don’t leave us, Toby. Drinks and spearfishing are on us, Toby.

Never Surrender.

Just when we were gaining some momentum, fresh off the Road Train back from Alice, we put our feet up and forgot about footy for a week...

And then the AFL decided to put the Giants on at the same time the Socceroos kick off their World Cup campaign.

Will our heads be elsewhere? Toby has confirmed: yes, this is likely.

Will the Tsunami retreat to a gentle lapping on the fringes of the Marvel turf? There’s every chance.

Hypothetically, technically and realistically, we should continue to march up the ladder given the big ins this week, the form that’s been building, and the fact that the Saints would be demoralised after letting that one slip against the Swannies. And three Ls in a row. Ouch.

Plus, we’re just a better side than the Saints.

But nothing is a given in this beautiful, chaotic, unpredictable sport called Australian Rules Football. And nothing is predictable — other than the Giants making the top four and going on to win our first cup — with this enigmatic team known as the GREATER Western Sydney Giants.

Is this stressful? Sure.

Do we love it? You bet.

Gamble responsibly.

So sit back, split the Kayo screen down the middle, mute the soccer, and enjoy Finn slicing the Saints to pieces, Hoges coming back and kicking a baker’s dozen, and maybe something special from Gothard once again...

Never Surrender.
