Hump Day with Swanny & Friends

Samantha has been managed for yet another week, purely to make way for one of the biggest guests, we have had on.We would like to think it has been our constant campaigning that has led us to this moment ... and by us, we mean Dane.Dane has finally made it in to the Hall of Fame and we couldn’t be prouder (of our campaigning).In his own words theres only so much Dane can talk himself up, so we got the big dog, in to do it for him.Enjoy this episode with the one and only Mick MalthouseFollow us on the socials@swannyandfriends@danes84@rtralphy@samantharichesSpecial Guest: Mick Malthouse

Aaaand we're back. Guest friend this week is Ben Cameron from the ABC. Ben works on ABC radio each week with Mick Malthouse and has a theory to put to Dane, that Mick loves ratbags. And we hear more about Mick's 'jam' passion.We talk about Ralphy's slightly misleading Bucks headline about Dane not wanting Bucks to coach, the longer version is that Dane says Bucks is a better person when he's not coaching. We discuss Tassie and who might coach the team, Dane reckons they will struggle for players, and should focus on players who aren't into the more exciting lifestyle on offer in places like Melbourne and Sydney. Dane makes the comment that Tim Lane has no idea what he's talking about when he says that kids will love to live in Tassie.We ask Ben about COLA and Ralphy puts his idea to Dane and Ben about a kind of reverse COLA in cheaper to live in markets like Adelaide.We then get to the list. Dane and Ralphy give their Top 20 players of the past 20- years, and Ralphy gives his Top 20 of the 80s and 90s.Ben tells us a story about going to Taronga Zoo with Mick Malthouse, and Mick told him about preventing Glen Jakovich from being eaten by a lion.Dane tells us why Bomber Thompson is an arsehole, and Ben tells us why he reckons Malcolm Blight is one of the nicest blokes, he shares a ripping story about Blighty and Karmichael Hunt.Ralphy and Dane ask Ben, who watches and calls footy every weekend, to talk us through where he reckons each club is at. And as a Perth boy he explains why he reckons Adam Simpson survived at West Coast at the end of last year.Ben reckons the ABC's footy call and commentary is far more contemporary than it gets credit for.We talk about the relationship between the media and footy coaches, and how those who 'play the game' get an easier ride than the others.And Ralphy continues to bang on about his bet on Freo for the flag.Follow us, share the pod with a mate, and support us if you feel the urge.

We fear he may never show, traffic in Melbourne, is diabolical, as we know. However, he is a great man, with great stories and happens to be supporting a great cause (Fight MND) so a few minutes in, we were finally graced with the presence of Robbo, one of the Dees greatest boots.

Sam believes that being up all night chest feeding and still wearing nappies herself is good enough reason to not turn up again. Who knows when she will save us from our selves.So, it is just us unpacking the week that is ahead of us, Round 12...while we wait for our guest who also didn't turn up last week and seems to be stuck in traffic, this. We topped the show with Dane's response to Rooey's Rat Pack rip and got to some listener questions.Follow us, share the pod with a mate, and support us if you feel the urge.

Well this has gone pear-shaped. A guest has been a no show, what a mess. Can Dane and Ralphy recover? Only one way to find out.But the pod gets off to a rough start, Dane is feeling flat following Glen McFarlane's list of the Top 10 Pies of all time, which criminally left him off. It's a dreadful oversight and Dane and Ralphy treat it with the disdain it deserves, including a suggestion from Dane for a 'bukkake-off'. Not sure that will work. Ralphy asks Dane to nominate the players who he feels should be ahead of him on the list. Dane seems particularly unhappy with being beaten by Syd Coventry and wants to know how many Anzac Day medals Syd won - clearly none.Dane's impressed with Harley Reid, and says his highlight reel at his age is better than Chris Judd's at the same age. Dane reckons once he can put 4 quarters together he'll be a star.Ralphy raises #1 draft picks, and runs through the #1 draft picks who've had incredible careers, in the context of West Coast getting Harley Reid instead of North last year.We chat about the A-League debacle this week with players playing for yellow cards and the spot-betting scandal. Dane reckons spot-betting on AFL is very difficult, unlike soccer, tennis, and cricket.Ralphy reads out some of your questions, keep em coming on the socials. We have a question about Tastebuds, and find out just how much input and work Dane puts into it (hot tip - bugger all). We find out Dane's most hated exercise in the gym.Dane talks about how he should have had 2, maybe 3 Brownlow's.More AFL Maths Science, and Dane and Ralphy say they need to do better. 50/50 results last week which was disappointing. A few good options this week, and which team does Dane call 'fucking horrible'?And we end up with a part 3 of the pod today, because our planned guest Russell Robertson didn't turn up! Dane blames Glenn McFarlane for sabotaging it. Dane also calls the podcast listeners 'fucking arseholes'. So there's that.Dane reckons the music played at his Swan FC match on the weekend was the worst music he's ever heard at a footy match. We run through some more listener feedback including one lunatic who reckons he saw a Harley Reid goal on PornHub. Really?Sam back next week !! So get ready for some baby chat.Follow us, share the pod with a mate, and support us if you feel the urge. If not, then as you were.Podcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samanthariches
