Hump Day with Swanny & Friends

It’s a midweek bonus ep and the crew dive into your listener questions! Swanny talks charity games, legends footy and where his faith sits with the Pies heading into finals, while Ralph ponders angry coaches and obscure nicknames. Sam cops a few fashion critiques (and fires back), and the team weigh in on draft age debates and the Rankine suspension. A bit of footy, a bit of nonsense – classic hump day Swanny & Friends.

Round 24.5 is here (yes, really) and the crew are back to make sense of it all. From the “bonus” midweek Gold Coast clash to finals spots on the line, we’ve got Carlton v Essendon, Collingwood v Melbourne, and the Dogs fighting for their September. Ralph’s battling the form guide, Tay’s already dreading a Gold Coast road trip, and Sam’s hanging on every Bulldogs stat. Footy, odds, weather checks, and a few laughs along the way – cl...

Bonus Episode because we stared recording and then our guest rocked up & we thought you'd like to hear from the Tsunami survivor - She's back and well you be the judge whether she's happy about it or not.

Maths Science today, and at this stage of the season with teams resting players sometimes in preparation for finals, other teams who are out of the running, coaches under pressure, and of course 9 teams trying to fit into 8 spots - there's plenty on the line.

We look at the lines, the margins, the totals, and Dane and Ralphy give their best bets.

Bit of random chat to kick off the show about Sams honeymoon, and surviving the tsunami, and Dane is excited* (*he may not be) about going to the Monster Trucks this weekend.

But after that we get to the big news of the week, the departure of Simon Goodwin from the Demons. Dane wants to know if Ralphy had any inside word it was coming. Who could the new coach be, we kick around the options. Dane refuses to rule out applying for ...

This week, Jobe Watson is back, Samantha is not. Rude frankly.

Dane, Jobe and Ralphy discuss when players start booking the end of season trips, the Bombers are already onto it, and Dane reveals that towards the end of the season there are more players doing weights to get the body 'beach ready'.

Jobe reveals the very well known footy name who wore a Peppa Pig outfit to his kids birthday party recently.

We talk fat shaming...

Aaaannnd, we're back. Well two of the gang of three anyway. Today is Maths Science where we try to rinse the bookies and pick some solid bets, or in Dane's case, pump up the legs of his multi that he need to perform.

Is it for the love of the game?

This week, Dane, Samantha and Ralph tackle the age-old question: are the players still driven by pure love of the game, or has it all become about cash, contracts, and side hustles? (We know Dane's reply) Between Ross Lyon’s mysterious holiday timing, Clarko’s ongoing soap opera, and the growing trend of players citing mental health breaks "to avoid scrutiny", there’s no shortage of hot takes. We also...

Is he the horseracing calling GOAT? The great Matt Hill now smashing it in the AFL too was kind enough to join us as this week's Friend.

Tacos, Tackles & the Jack Newton Classic

Benny Dixon drops in for a chat and quickly proves he’s as sharp off-field as he was on it—just maybe not in the kitchen (old tacos, anyone?). From school drop-offs and Wagon Wheels to draft-day dramas and hitchhiking to training, the Hawthorn cult hero gets candid on footy, fatherhood, and the media hustle. He lifts the lid on coaching influences—including some Clarko classics, some Mick...

Internet Woes, Juddy Gigs & Footy From Bumf* Nowhere**

Dane's off-grid and barely online, Ralph's dodging fashion critiques at functions, and Sam’s still defending her weather predictions (badly). From Ross Lyon sightings to footy and finance with Chris Judd, plus a raucous debate about strapping on hoodies over merch tees—this one’s all over the shop. The gang tackles Round 15 with questionable reception, conditional tips, and...

How Do You Live Your Life?

It’s a post-hens haze for Sam, and the question on everyone’s lips is: how does Dane Swan survive this lifestyle weekly? With tequila-fuelled chaos, hair-holding heroes, and karaoke regrets, the gang tackles everything from garters and donut towers to blokes lurking at Electric Lady. Meanwhile, Dane’s breaking footy streaks in Queensland and dodging awkward Hall of Fame invites. Plus, Nick Daicos gets bear...

Math Science, War Machines & Shaky Lines

It’s Round 14 and the crew is back with a vengeance—swapping multis, mocking lines, and doing their absolute best not to get cancelled (again). Dane’s backing the Blues, Sam’s recovering from a big weekend, and Ralph’s just trying to hold the ship steady through Bailey Smith theories, surprise stats, and some surprisingly sound betting logic. Plus, there’s weather forecasts, sauna strate...
