Ep. 89 - No Guard On The Angle Grinder | April 14, 2026

<p>The boys are back in town with Dicko, Paps &amp; Pratty talking dribble without a filter this week on The Early Crow! 🐓🔥 From AFL headlines to global sport and the ponies, there’s plenty doing — and as always, it’s strong opinions, sharp takes and proper banter throughout.</p><p>👇 <strong>In this episode:</strong><br>Pratty, Dicko &amp; Paps kick things off with <strong>Tom’s 200th</strong>, reflecting on the milestone and what it means in the current landscape of the AFL where longevity at the top level is becoming harder to maintain.</p><p>The spotlight then shifts to the <strong>Sydney Swans</strong>, who are starting to look seriously dangerous with dominant wins over the West Coast Eagles and Gold Coast. Ball movement, forward efficiency and overall system look to be clicking early — and the boys break down whether this is the real deal or just a hot start.</p><p>Across the league, it’s all eyes on <strong>Gather Round</strong>, which continues to grow as one of the marquee weekends on the AFL calendar. The crew dive into the atmosphere, key results and what it means for momentum across the competition.</p><p>Globally, <strong>The Masters</strong> takes centre stage with Rory McIlroy making serious noise again. The conversation turns to whether he’s finally cracked it mentally at Augusta and if a back-to-back push is on the cards as he chases that elusive Green Jacket to complete the career Grand Slam.</p><p>On the racing front, it’s all about <strong>Day 2 of The Championships</strong>, with elite-level racing out of Sydney delivering big performances, key takeaways and future betting angles. As always, the boys look to find where the edge is heading into the coming weeks.</p><p>📺 <strong>Follow &amp; Subscribe</strong><br>Hit Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss a weekly drop.</p><p>📲 <strong>Find us on socials:</strong><br>• Instagram – @EarlyCrowPod<br>• Twitter (X) – @TheEarlyCrowPod<br>• TikTok – @TheEarlyCrowPod</p><p>🎧 <strong>Listen to the full podcast:</strong> Spotify | Apple Podcasts | All major platforms</p><p>📩 <strong>Enquiries &amp; collabs:</strong><br><a href="" rel="noopener">theearlycrowpodcast@gmail.com</a></p><p>18+.
