    Attention and focus turns to Round 1
    2026/02/24
    The pre-season challenge is done and dusted and so too is the long, arduous pre-season training, where this new Storm group have been building a base, hardening themselves for the 2026 Season and their Premiership campaign. Stormy Daniel touches on the second pre-season hit out against the Titans and despite the lopsided scoreline, Stormy Daniel reads very little into Melbourne's showing in the pre-season challenge, as history shows that all effort, emphasis and focus is on preparing for a hard and fast start in Round 1, where Bellyache will be looking to extend his unbeaten streak to 24 wins. Plus, your listener questions.

    2026/02/17
    Stormy Daniel speaks to the Storm's first pre-season challenge fixture which saw a cast of thousands take the field, many of Melbourne's pathway players from last year's Premiership winning Jersey Flegg team and a handful of second tier recruits who will make up the bulk of the Storm's inaugral Knock-On Effect NSW Cup team. Stormy Daniel addresses the latest revelations surrounding the ongoing Zac Lomax that has implicated friend of the podcast, Storm CEO Justin Rodski, reviews Round 2 of junior pathway results, your listener questions and TLT - team list Tuesday for Storm's second pre-season challenge fixture against the Titans on the Sunshine Coast this Saturday evening.

  • The purple reign of Bellamy set to continue for a little while yet as the Pre-Season Challenge is upon us

    The purple reign of Bellamy set to continue for a little while yet as the Pre-Season Challenge is upon us
    2026/02/10
    On this week's episode, Stormy Daniel covers off on the unexpected, yet amazing news of Head Coach Craig Bellamy recommitting to the club, not for just another season, but until at least the end of 2028. A sure sign Bellyache is hungrier and more determined than ever to achieve success with the new emerging group of Melbourne Storm players, putting to bed media innuendo that 2026 would be Bellsa's last year before hanging up the clipboard. Not the case. Stormy Daniel will dissect the first Team list Tuesday of 2026, with plenty of young stars set to be named, given an opportunity to show their wares, impress the coaching staff and give Storm fans a glimpse of the talent coming through the pathways, junior pathways update - and of course, your listener questions.

  • 2025 Season Review - This was a tough carry

    2025 Season Review - This was a tough carry
    2026/01/22
    A podcast episode that was a long time in the making. Addressing the hurt had to be done. Stormy Daniel reviews Season 2025 and reflects on the heartache of losing what is now back-to-back Grand Finals. Whilst it was somewhat cathartic, the disappointment remains. But as Coach Craig Bellamy says "Grand Finals are hard to make. They're even harder to win" meaning that whilst the team fell short of collecting the ultimate prize, all in all, it was a successful season. Storm fans need to acknowledge that and be proud a Top 2 finish and making yet another Grand Final. You would rather be there, than not.

Stormcast Podcast returns for its fourth season - and begins by covering off on all the big off-season headlines, news and stories; answering listener questions, specifically around player movement, none bigger than the sudden and untimely departures of Ryan Papenhuyzen and Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Storm's surprising pursuit of wayward Origin and Test star in Zac Lomax.

  • Episode 41: Storm go through to the 'Big Dance', their 12th Grand Final, keen to atone on their 2024 disappointment

    Episode 41: Storm go through to the 'Big Dance', their 12th Grand Final, keen to atone on their 2024 disappointment
    2025/10/01
    11th Grand Final in 20 seasons. 12th Grand Final appearance in 28 seasons, since Melbourne's inception into the NRL. Craig Bellamy, the man at the helm of this sustained success, who has made 22 out of 23 finals series since being appointed as Head Coach, will coach the Storm to both his and the club's 11th Grand Final appearance in 23 seasons. That's on average a staggering Grand Final appearance every 2 years. As the man himself often has said and reiterated it post game "Grand Finals are hard to make, they're even harder to win". Nothing is guaranteed. Melbourne will renew hostilities with the NRL Club they were born out of in the Brisbane Broncos. The rivalry started in 1998 and has grown ever since, with inaugural CEO, Football Manager and Captain in John Ribot, Chris Johns and the 'Brick with eyes' in Glenn Lazarus being Broncos alumni, Bellyache being a former assistant coach at Brisbane, to the pair facing off in the 2006 Grand Final and the dominance Storm have had over the Broncos in recent years. But all that accounts for nothing as a Grand Final is opportunity both teams will be not wanting to waste - no more than Melbourne, who are ruing the missed chance of being crowned Premiers last season. Will that be at the back of the players mind as they prepare for Sunday's clash? Will it be the motivation needed when the game is on the line and the players need to dig a little bit deeper, find something extra, knowing it could result in winning a premiership, as opposed to the heartache of losing a Grand Final, a feeling 15 of the 17 who run out for the Storm this Sunday night, know all too well after experiencing the disappointment of falling short last year. We'll all know if it is the motivation come the end of the 80th minute this Sunday night at Accor Stadium.

The boys look at the strengths, weaknesses and where the game could be won for both teams.
