And then there were two, just Sammy and Patty this week. The dynamic duo rifled through all of the big highlights from the 1st week of the Sunraysia Footy Finals Series.

The boys also revealed the Sammy Smythe Footy Show...

Sammy and the team revisited a massive end to this year's Sunraysia Footy & Netball Home & Away campaign. The big fella was up and about with his beloved Bulldogs set to feature in the finals action for the first time in a long time. He was also pretty pumped that he finished joint leader of the tipping competition with Patty, prompting a triple points call to arms for the last 4 weeks of...

This week Sammy and the team run the ruler over the all-important Round 18 Sunraysia Footy clashes. The stakes were raised when it came to the tipping competition too with double points on offer for the final round of the home and away. J-Mac also served up some valuable insight ahead of the opening weekend of the Millewa Footy finals. HOT FM’s own John Hollywood stepped up as the Where Are...

Sammy put the footy to one side at the start of the show this week and continued the push for his big Golf Day coming up later this year at the Mildura Golf Resort. The boys then settled in to look back over Round 16 of Sunraysia Footy and Round 14 in the Millewa. Tips were also a bit of a talking point with Sam and J-Mac finishing the season strongly to really put the pressure on Patty. Glenn Gos...

J-Mac returned to join the boys in Studio 1 this week. A recap of Sammy’s Polar Plunge happened to be high on the agenda including the wash up, so to speak, on the injury front. The on-again, off-again in-house tipping competition may have been sparked back in to life with those who initially jumped ship maybe now back on board. Watch this space… Coverage of last weekend’s Sunra...

Ben Ridley stepped up to fill the big boots of J-Mac this week instantly handing him over full Millewa Footy responsibilities.

J-Mac told us what we needed to know from the Millewa League, while Ouyen legend Wayne Grace was this week&rsq...

It may have provided him with an opportunity to showcase his talent on an even bigger stage… The team also recap the big moments from the completion of Round 9 (Split) last weekend. Tips vs the Moneybox was thrown into the mix once again while South Mildura favourite Peter Hahn made the most of h...

The boys introduced a new segment this week called The Week That Was which went down well by all accounts. There was look back at last weekend’s Sunraysia and Millewa Football action.

Former Sunny Daily sports journo...

Wild scenes on the show this week as the regular Sunraysia Footy tipping competition was turned on its head.

The boys also took some time out to review the action from last weekend. Sammy also added to his FIFA World Cup memorabilia collection while former Mildura Demo...

A quick revisit of last weekend's local Sunraysia & Millewa footy action got the ball rolling, or maybe that should be bouncing this week.

Slammer even put a couple of his McLeod Medal favourites forward too. J-Mac set the scene from a Millewa football perspective, while local Richmond legend Dale Weightman was on the phone under the Where Are They Now...

Sammy was quarantined to his lounge room this week. Nasty bit of gastro took hold evidently… He joined in on the phone reviewing his Robinvale trip to watch his beloved Eagles A Grade Netball girls. The boys covered all of the action from Round 7 in Sunraysia Footy along with the big winners and losers when it came to Round 6 in the Millewa. Peter Palazzo then joined J-Mac and Patty, Where...

The boys give us a quick rundown of all the Sunraysia & Millewa footy action from last weekend. Sammy prepped us about a proposed trip to the John James Oval for a hook up with his favourite Robinvale Euston Netball girls.

With J-Mac ruling himself out via a 5:09am message on the show’s WhatsApp chat, Sammy and Patty were left to lead from the front this week. The boys briefly reviewed the Round 4 Sunraysia Footy action from last weekend. One member of the team was still keen to blow the trumpet about his good early form on the tipping front. Patty took over the reins when it came to all of the Millewa action...

Ben Ridley stepped into the seat vacated by J-Mac this week. He had one thing to do too, the Millewa footy ladder which didn't quite go to plan.

The boys are back at HOT HQ this week, feeling their way through the move into Studio 1. There’s a quick look back at the season opener between the Swallows and the Bulldogs on Good Friday.

The boys went above and beyond for the final show of the 2025 season. This 60 minute extravaganza featured a recap of last weekend’s SFNL Prelim Final action, plus all the gloss from Monday night’s McLeod Medal count. Sam, J-Mac & Patty tried to sell us on exactly who takes out the Grand Final, Irymple or Mildura. Demon fave Sam Kerridge and Swallows superstar Dan Coghlan jumped on...

Sammy came racing out of the blocks for the second last show of the season. Straight up he was into J-Mac for running his car battery flat at last weekend's Millewa Grand Final out at the Lake. Then Patty was in the gun after someone had texted in telling him to take his red & blue glasses off when calling Mildura games. J-Mac recovered enough to give us his full wrap of what turned out to be...
