Swanny: 'Essendon Are Such a Low Team' & Guest Friend Corbin Middlemas: "What the AFL have gotten wrong"

Season 7, Ep. 13
•

A great pod today, with guest friend Corbin Middlemas, ABC radio superstar. But first we get the rundown from Dane on the big boxing match, what did he think of Daisy's performance? The phrase 'not much chop' may have been used.


Corbin reveals what Mick Malthouse loves to do every time he is in Adelaide, and what Mick is really like. Hard arse or good bloke? Dane got a whack from Mick before the finals when he was playing, and he blames his mates parents for having sex on the wrong day. Hard to believe? Well he's serious. And we find out why Dane hates Kerferd Road at 6am on Tuesdays.


We discuss Gather Round. Should it be more often or is one enough? And how is each team travelling after 4 rounds? Dane, Corbin and Ralphy give their thoughts. And they're impressed with West Coast. Or are we ripping the piss? Probably.


And we finish with Corbin's views on the Finlayson incident and how the AFL have mishandled the issues of racism and homophobic abuse in the game.

    At time of recording the "absolutely disgraceful skit" from the GWS boys was not yet uncovered...though unsurprisingly it would seem our opinioins would likely remain the same. Some draft chat some hypotheticals, Some fab listener questions as per, and nothing like a throw away line about how Mums and Dads have equal freedom to get Samantha's feathers ruffled! 😉 We do love to stir.Enjoy this little nugget of nonsense Support us elsewhere:@swannyandfriends@danes84@rtralphy@samantharichesSupport our new home: @bulldogstudios_

    Straight off the bat we talked about an issue close to Brett Ratten's heart - A walk for epilepsy.We then took a trip down memory lane, and with as many years, wearing as many different coloured hats as this man has, it was an enjoyable tale.Hear how the noise on the wood of the old Heatley stand used to bring with is a surge of lift from the boys in blue & get an insight in to "Hok Ball" and the rise of Sam Mitchell from 0 to 5.Hear just what is involved to qualify to become a senior coach these days, how back in his day he was not so affectionately known as Father Christmas and how Mini Coach Will Ratten lifted the mood in the North Coaching box.Enjoy our chat, with Brett RattenSupport us elsewhere:@swannyandfriends@danes84@rtralphy@samantharichesGuest Friend: Brett RattenIf you are able, please check out the website to donate and see how you can become more involved https://www.walkforepilepsy.org.au/Support our new home: @bulldogstudios_

    The games are starting to dwindle, we may have to start a Women's Maths Science at this point as imagining the next 6 months with our AFLM is not a reality we are ready to face.
