Hump Day with Swanny & Friends
Guest Friend: Kate McCarthy; Swanny says 'There's No Way Mick Malthouse Could Coach Today'
Kate McCarthy, former AFLW player and current Triple M Footy commentator is our guest friend today, and Swanny wants to know what the hell he has to do to get a gig with Triple M as he reckons everyone except him has one.
He explains Swan FC to Kate. She is suitably impressed (or is she?) and suggests a slogan - Swan FC, Any Where, Any Time, Any Price. Kate explains why she came to Melbourne and how she got into footy commentary. Can you believe in the media centre at Marvel, there are still no female bathrooms? Kate's sick of dealing with the male bathrooms after BT, JB, et al have taken a dump and she's decided to take over one bathroom with a homemade sign.
Kate brings up Swanny's hatred of sand. And he then adds wind to the list.
We talk AFLW. Kate reckons the AFL got it wrong and expanded too quickly. Ralphy disagrees. We talk about players not going back with the flight of the ball, Swanny tells a story about a pre-season match with the Saints where he didn't and copped a gob full from Brendan Goddard. Did Swanny care? What do you think...
Swanny and Kate agree that they were not good with pre-season training, and Swanny reveals his theory on why he came back from the break as a player in less than ideal condition. Which leads to talking 'bakes', and Swanny reckons Malthouse was the king of the bake, and says that there is no way he (Malthouse) could coach today, not with his style. Dane wonders why he got yelled at by Malthouse, but he never saw Pendles cop a spray. And he makes the comment that great offensive players can't be great defensive players, saying it is impossible.
And he sneaks in a shameless plug for his new cooking show on 7mate, starts this Saturday arvo at 1.30pm. If that isn't primetime we don't know what is.
Follow us, share the pod with a mate, and support us if you feel the urge. If not, then as you were.

Guest Friend - Titus O'Reily
58:18||Season 7, Ep. 64This week, Samantha stayed to do her thing, so you can mostly (when Ralphy sits on the mic) hear all of us! Which, is a wonderful thing as this week's guest brought his wonderful radio voice to our ears with stories & laughs about all sorts of things from which sinful categories some of the most famous sports stars of times gone by like George Best & Michael Jordan would fit into and more controversial topics like the "Fine Cotton" saga! As a Melbourne tragic, there is, of course, some footy chat & we find out that lucky for us, he is back on the airwaves in 2025 with the one and only Mick Malloy! Enjoy our candid hour of yarns with the one and only Titus O'Reily.In Dane's words, thanks for having us!Special Guest: Titus O'Reily Latest book: The Seven Deadly Sins of SportPodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: racetrackralphy.com.auSupport us in the Merch store: Shop here :)63. Not a pool cleaner, nor a ruckman
01:00:49||Season 7, Ep. 63This weeks episode was simply too good to throw away. Samantha set us up then went off to work, some of us have real jobs. After she hit go, Ralphy's mic failed. So Ralphy re recorded and Samantha cut every bit of audio in to save the ep. Is it the best quality? No. But we were grateful that Richo gave up his time to come in and chat with us, for you guys, so we gave up ours to do our best to save it. Some great banter & stories in here from Dane's passport in Argentina tale to some memories from the Tiger great about some people we know. We do hope you enjoy this one.Special Guest: Matthew Richardson - @mattricho0https://patcroninfoundation.org.au/Podcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: racetrackralphy.com.auSupport us in the Merch store: Shop here :)62. Dane and Dusty - Last Crack
23:45||Season 7, Ep. 62Well it seems you missed us because the listener questions were bountiful! ...and mostly inappropriate as always but, every one deserves to be heard. Of course as twitter's ex political expert from 2020, Dane jumped in the mud with the US election and we heard all about it as well as discussing Dusty's return to the workforce!
