The Footy Dictionary

  • Summary

  • From the do-or-die to danger games, scrappy wins to four-quarter performances, the dictionary of Australian rules football is choc-a-bloc with unique phrases, cliches and resulting banana skins.

    What counts as must-win? Which players deserve public nicknaming? And how much gusto should each post-victory song earn?

    Harper Pestinger, Hamish O’Brien, Connor Buttigieg and guest adjudicators you've actually heard of are here to answer the questions you didn’t know you care about, but in fact really, really do.

    Tune in Mondays at 4pm AET on SYN 90.7 FM.

  • The Return (with Mark Fine)

    The Return (with Mark Fine)
    Jan 7 2025

    I see it, but I don't believe it! Don't adjust your set! It's the greatest miracle since Brendan Fevola's 2006 Grand Final sprint triumph!

    Your mainstream footy media is off on holidays. But as you well know, when the experts are away, the DicHeads come out to play.

    That's right: the Footy Dictionary is back with a Danny Frawley BANG and, goodness gracious, have we got a summer treat for you.

    Big-gun guests will be joining Harper and Hamish weekly to talk through their "Things About Football" - three niche loves, three niche hates.

    SEN host and late-night legend Mark Fine is first up to talk:

    • The weirdness of a player in their new team's jumper
    • Wind-ravaged games and five-goal breezes
    • The poses on retro footy cards
    • Pre-game FM DJ-style HACKS
    • Disrespectful naming of teams
    • Gustoless song renditions

    That's not to mention, of course, the return of the Journeymen and Footy Card Facts.

    And you thought Christmas was as good as it gets!

    Tune in to Santa's favourite show live on Sundays from 5pm - that's on SYN 90.7 FM.
