SPECIAL: Howie's Favourite Footy Episodes
3/26/202641 min
Ten years. Thousands of stories. And a whole lot of footy magic.
Incase you have missed anything across the years, Howie has taken a moment to remember some of the AFL players and the stories that have defined The Howie Games across a decade.
From the electrifying brilliance of Cyril Rioli in episode 54, the ultimate “bums on seats” player, and the raw, deeply personal reasons behind his shock mid-season retirement… to the elite mindset of Chris Judd in episode 32 unpacking what it really takes to be the best.
We rewind all the way back to Episode 3! BIG Fev opens up like never before with his highs, the struggles, and the honesty that stopped listeners in their tracks.
Then into the modern era with Kane Cornes episode 218, one of the most influential voices in the game, in a chat where absolutely nothing was off limits.
And finally… a full circle moment. Leigh “Lethal” Matthews. Episode 248. A childhood hero. A legend of the game. And one of the great conversations in Howie Games history.
Catch up on the full episodes!

[crowd cheering] [upbeat music] Now, the Howie Games crew have been thinking, what have been our best footy moments, our best AFL moments across ten years of the podcast? Ten years, I know it's still hard to believe, but more of that at a later date. Righto, my favorite footy moments on the podcast. We have to start with my favorite bums-on-seats footballer, the definition of sizzle, Cyril Rioli, on episode fifty-four.
