The Sporting World Tour: Man Utd's Relegation Scare, South Africa's Cricket Crown & The 2027 AFL Fixture Drop

The footy season might be long gone, but the sporting world never sleeps. Simmo is joined by Ben Stockton—freshly risen off his deathbed—for a massive Monday night edition of DRN1 sPORTSWRAP to tear through the biggest results, blowouts, and fixtures across the globe. Kicking things off in the English Premier League, the boys dissect Manchester United’s absolute nightmare season as the club plummets to seventeenth on the table, barely keeping out of the relegation zone on goal difference alone. Meanwhile, Arsenal has taken the top spot after a controversial clash with Liverpool, and Brighton shocked Manchester City to slide into third place with a massive goal differential. Over in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys blew a third-quarter lead to lose 33-30 to the Cardinals at Jerry's World, the Kansas City Chiefs overcame the thin air at Mile High to defeat the Broncos 28-24, and the Philadelphia Eagles controversially fielded a quarterback dealing with a blood clot. On the baseball diamond, the Milwaukee Brewers are celebrating a historic Major League World Series victory after grinding out a decisive game with smart, short-ball tactics.

AFL Trade Grades, 99 All Out in the Cricket, EPL Disasters & Simon's Parasite Deep-Dive

Simmo and Adam "Dukes" Doukas return to the mics on DRN1's Sportswrap after a week off to break down a chaotic week across the sporting landscape. The boys dissect Australia’s batting capitulation after getting skittled for 99 against South Africa in the second Test, questioning Marnus Labuschagne’s form, the cost of dropping Nathan Lyon, and why Scott Boland is facing more deliveries than the top four. They also venture around the grounds to analyze Manchester United slumping to 16th on the Premier League table after a 3–0 beating from Bournemouth, unpack a host of brutal refereeing calls that sank the Green Bay Packers in the NFL, and review the Milwaukee Brewers taking an early World Series lead over the Tampa Bay Rays amidst dome glare and front-row distractions. The second half of the show delivers a full club-by-club review and grading of the AFL trade period, covering blockbuster moves including Lachie Neale and Jesse Hogan landing at Collingwood, Hawthorn loading up with Ben King and Zach Merrett, the mass player exodus from Greater Western Sydney, and "The Lizard" Nick Blakey heading to North Melbourne. Finally, a bumper edition of Simon Says unleashes on the daily annoyances of useless Blu-Tack, suburban curbside collection scavengers, dramatic Ozempic side effects, a binge-watching obsession with parasites on Monsters Inside Me, and a serious plea to bring back national bloke sleepover nights with N64 and pizza.

The 2nd Annual Golden Plums Awards

Get your plums out, everyone—the Golden Plums are back for 2026! With the AFL season officially wrapped, Simmo, Dangerous Dan, Fred, and bench debutant Matthew "Bungle" Condon pull up around the table with a cold six-pack and a stack of Officeworks envelopes to dish out the only footy awards that actually matter. Not even an early-show studio meltdown—requiring tech guru Rusty to hack into the mainframe—could stop the boys from ripping into the biggest clangers, chokes, and controversies of the year. The crew tear through twenty loaded categories, calling out Jack Ginnivan’s double-whistle 50-metre shambles, tossing Jamarra Ugle-Hagan straight onto the curb for the Bin Night Award, and giving Ross the Boss the dreaded Full Support of the Board. The footy media cop an absolute battering as Jack Riewoldt, Fox Footy’s The Bounce, and 33-percent-accurate Damian Barrett collect their unwanted silverware, while Mason Cox comfortably runs away with Flog Moment of the Year. From Christian Petracca taking home the Reverse Brownlow to Fremantle’s premature grand final siren celebrations securing the infamous Wharfie Time crown, no club or player escapes the firing line. Finally, Western Bulldogs cult hero Tom Liberatore is officially inducted into the Golden Plums Hall of Fame alongside Wayne Carey for a career defined by pure grit, missing teeth, and unrivaled off-field folklore.
