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.

    It was our 5 year anniversary of being cancelled today and it was like Dane was trying to take us to the edge once again... Samantha's first show back maybe her last. Special guest Harley reveals he is a boob guy and wasn't waiting for nothing so yes, Samantha's mic does get turned off as we are not an ASMR podcast. Ralphy's doesn't, he just still struggles to use a microphone, 5 years in.None of the hot media agenda items, all of the good stuff, hear who looks forward to getting out and having their fill of men here. @swannyandfriends@danes84@rtralphy@samanthariches
