Season Preview - Aussies in the NFL - "The Established and New Faces"

This week on Onside Punt, Hulmy and Kad take a look at the Aussie presence in the NFL before the 2025 season kicks off. From the household names like Jordan Mailata and Michael Dickson to the fresh faces like Jeremy Crawshaw, James Burnip, and Oscar Chapman, the boys break down who’s locked in, who’s on the bubble, and who’s flying under the radar.

They also dive into the biggest news for Aussie fans: the NFL is officially coming to Melbourne in 2026. With the Rams set to host a regular season game at the MCG, Hulmy and Kad unpack what this means for local fandom, tourism, and the sport’s future down under.

Then comes the great debate: with four NFL teams now licensed to market in Australia—Rams, Raiders, Eagles, and Seahawks—who should we get behind? Is it the Rams, bringing the game to our backyard? The Eagles, with Mailata leading the charge? The Raiders, building a new Aussie pipeline? Or the Seahawks, long-time fan favourites with Dickson still booming punts?

Listen in because the NFL isn’t just visiting Australia. It’s planting roots.
