Hump Day with Swanny & Friends

Never has Samantha been more nervous about a guest coming on and not to be mistaken for excitement, lets be clear. But Ralph assured her that Daniel Hoyne from Champion Data knew what he was getting himself in for. Hoyne got Dane onside early with some impressive stats from his time in the Magpie Guernsey and further fluffed him up when talking about him as the pioneer of rotations but soon got in...

News flash (to samantha only really) Pre Finals bye round is upon us so no Maths Science this week, instead we covered such as should Samantha jump on footfinder.com and the fact that a Carlton loss on the weekend coincidentally means that the Power Rankings will be back this week. Dane delved into some very clever theories around the amount of players on a field/ground/court having a direct corre...

Brett Deledio of the Richmond & GWS Footy clubs talked us through his journey from Country footy to Number 1 draft pick with 240 odd games on the big stage along the way and how sliding doors moments cost him the elusive premiership, twice. He candidly spoke of his struggles around this moment and how playing his 250th, in his first Pre lim, against his old mob lead to some big feelings and ev...

It's the final round of the Home and Away season for the AFL, Round 24 and before we get into the nitty gritty, we thought we'd talk some shit. You lucky listeners get to listen to us banter about the week that was both in the world of AFL and in the temporary land of Dane's bachelorhood all before we talk numbers!

This week's listener questions really showcased Dane's inner thoughts! He has made a decision that he will attend Mad Monday with "his" club The Pines but whether or not he attends the Footy Trip will be up to The Boss...who is away at the moment so as you can imagine, he's not coping... Of course with the greats of the game dropping like flies into pending retirement, Dane gave his two cents! Hea...

Back in the same room again for some insight on Round 23. Dane assures us there is nothing to worry about with the Pies and there are a few point to prove games to be played. Ralphy's racing on our stories on Saturdays, Dane's on Dabble but if you're dabbling, dabble responsibly.

Today's guest knows all to well the risks of Podcasting with Famous Footballers yet here he is, It's Kate Sheahan's Dad, the Brilliant Mike Sheahan. We got him in to chat the Dunstall V Lockett V Buddy conversation that has started to bubble and almost got cancelled about 20 mins in! Mike mentioned that he first gained confidence in his opinion and voice back when he was only 17 and gave us his th...

One big episode of our usual shenanigans with some Match analysis stirred in for a bit of balance. From Meth to Movies to Maths. Wowee, what other podcasts cover it all? We caught up on Dane's weekend and it may surprise you to know that he is playing more footy in retirement than he did when he was when he was "playing". The Pines roll on toward the finals and Dane gets a rude shock at the front...

This week we are online and you wanted the volume cranked! So enjoy the subtle hints of a baby, bottle feeding in Dane's arms and the not so subtle presence of a Toddler demanding he press buttons! The toddler was removed. The Scheduling change was explained in the very beginning and the rest is a true to form unpacking of the round ahead! Round 20 of the AFL Premiership season is here so hedge yo...

Ah, the sensible voice of reason has returned to once again, guide our ship, and, she stands firmly with Dane, showing grave concern Ralphy & his downward spiral. Please do show him support by letting him know you thoughts on socials. Although she took a bit to warm up, Twas great to get Samantha up to speed on all the shit we have talked with out her & we unpacked Dane's thoughts on how G...

Round 19 of the AFL Premiership is upon us and Samantha is back in the drivers seat. She went to Europe incase you missed it. We unpack each game. Will Maths science come for the Pies this weekend? Will The Orange Tsunami (Dane's version) finally break shore? Will anyone, watch the final match of the Round? These are all questions we ask & dance around the answer of. Get it in your ears and if...

He's back! Former Pro Golfer turned Media guy Marko Allen has graciously agreed to return to the pod! This time, not in Samantha's makeshift apartment studio during COVID, in a real studio, with real good pics and even better banter! He openly and candidly unpacks this PGA/LIV saga and talks money that will literally make you shake your head with your mouth open while your eyes water! Wowee. The l...

Round 18 is upon us, still down the third wheel but Dane is in fine form so who really needs her! (Me, its me uploading from Malta, remotely again so who knows what nonsence is spoken on this episode, listen to find out and if were back next week then it was all gravy!)

When a distressed Dane still hadn't received his North Melbourne membership, his people (Ralphy) took it upon himself to reach out to their people. He made a call & Dr Sonja Hood answered! Some how, he then convinced the President of the Kangaroos to come on the Pod cast and explain herself! Well, what she has to say... you will have to listen, to find out. Samantha could be out of a job after...

Ciao! It is Samantha uploading from Cinque Terra, Italy. Dangerously/stupidly/recklessly, without "proof listening" to this, so anything could be on here! One thing I am sure of there is some footy analysis regarding round 17 and I can guarantee there would be some shit talk in there...its Dane & Ralphy! Get it in your ear holes!

Well, with Samantha away, any thing could have happened! In fact, Hi, its me, Samantha, uploading from a layover in Bangkok airport with out listening to a single second so fingers crossed I still have jobs and a show to come back to! Enjoy listening to this mystery episode. No doubt full of footy and shit talk! If there is Maths Science in here, Gamble, le responsible Follow and support us elsewh...

Back together all in the same room, shooting the shit, taking the piss out of Samantha and chatting some footy. How Good! Dane is left concerned for the state of the human race, based on the quality (or lack there of) of Reality TV shows available on Free to air. The listener questions again provided gold, leading to Dane and Ralphy pitching to Samantha which one of them she should take on a deser...

We are back in studio! All together! How Good. Dane is almost considered FIFO the way he commits to this podcast for the people. Here is our take on Round 14 with a little responsible gambling coaching from Ralphy.

With one of the biggest events on the Footy calendar fast approaching we were grateful that Terry Daniher made time to pop in for a chat. The Big Freeze is back on Monday night and while a game of footy will be played the most important part of the day is raising money and awareness for the fight against MND. Terry took us on a trip down memory lane. He talked to how the night life in Ungarie and...

Remember to always make responsible gambling decisions. Dane is away for something different so we bought you this half from Kooyong our normal home and half from Skype. You, are so very welcome. We are aware the sound quality isn't its best, but its our best, in the given circumstances.

It has been a big week of apologies in Footy, however we stand by the credence that one should only apologise for something they feel they did wrong or where they were at fault. Samantha stands firmly by the fact that the power surge that caused the podcast file to corrupt, was not caused by her and therefore no apology will be made. She is however very sorry you didn't get to hear some of the cra...

Hello and welcome to Bye round! The first of a few, other wise known as Round 12. With some strong passionate stands on a few games, some see Dane and Ralphy on the same side, others with differing opinions. What we can guarantee is some in-depth analysis from some professionals both with their own money on the line. Follow our socials for Ralphy's Racing tips and Dane is on Dabble. #UpthePups, #G...

It's round 10 and unlike the Eagles, we will be better this week. There is a smell in the air over a few games and its got nothing to do with what Ralphy & Ed get up to...We apologise that is more Part 2 chat but alas, we are us & sometimes it just comes out! The rest is just your standard in-depth Maths Science analysis of the round ahead Enjoy having a flutter but flutter responsibly Fol...

Today was a good variety of all the things we talk sense about nonsensical topics. Samantha gave the hard truth that Collingwood football players from Dane's time were only taken seriously because of their looks. She also took a strong, somewhat unpopular (amongst Feminists) opinion on the Madrid Ball girls Dane too gave a strong, PSA regarding toilet etiquette on airplanes. Strong words were used...
