About this listen

Screech and Roll brings you Chibbsy and Mad Dog from the world-famous podcast 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die. This time, they are swapping bad music for Hawks basketball. It is all about Illawarra’s highs, lows, clutch wins and heart-stopping finishes. Pure Hawks passion, Illawarra pride and banter that hits harder than a full court press.

  • Grinding Wins, Blown Covers & What It Means for the Hawks
    Jan 7 2026

    The Christmas stretch is done, and the Illawarra Hawks came out with scars, lessons, and a couple of season-shaping wins.

    We break down a dominant defensive performance against Cairns, a gritty two-point escape over Tasmania, and a reality check against a red-hot Sydney Kings outfit at Qudos. From rebounding edges that mattered to shooting nights that didn’t, this episode covers what the Hawks did right, where they slipped, and why execution late in games is becoming the difference.

    We hand out the Xmas Period Player of the Match, fire up the Chris Goulding Flop Award, and look ahead to massive matchups against South East Melbourne and New Zealand as the ladder tightens.

    All killer. No fluff. Just Hawks hoops.

  • A Win That Still Feels Weird + Can the Hawks Steal One in Melbourne?
    Dec 16 2025

    The Illawarra Hawks get the win over the Brisbane Bullets — but it’s one of those victories that still raises questions. Chibbsy goes solo to break down a messy but important NBL26 result, including JaVale McGee’s continued dominance, a huge energy shift sparked by Boali Bales, and why the Hawks’ rotations might finally be heading in the right direction.

    We dig into the stats that mattered: free throws, rebounding, turnovers, and why ball security has been killing the Hawks all season. There’s also a look ahead to the next challenge against Melbourne United at John Cain Arena — including Melbourne’s recent form slump, Chris Goulding’s shooting, and how the Hawks can stay competitive on the road.

    If you’re an Illawarra Hawks fan or follow the NBL closely, this episode covers everything you need heading into a crucial stretch of the season.

  • QJ Drops 42, Hawks Melt Down, and the Flop of the Year
    Dec 10 2025

    The Hawks somehow beat Phoenix in overtime… then turned around and got tormented by last-placed Cairns. QJ Peterson ties a club record with 42, McGee casually puts up 29 and 13, Hickey hands out dimes and turnovers, and the boys break down how a team can win one quarter and still nearly lose a game.

    We hand out Player of the Match, deliver a Chris Goulding Flop Award for the ages (congrats, John Brown III), and look ahead to the Brisbane matchup — which feels like flipping a coin with a blindfold on.

    Live from the Gong. Let’s screech and roll.
