Sinopsis
Each Wednesday two of the great characters of the game AFL legendary medal winners Scotty Cummings (Coleman medal) and Dane Swan (Brownlow Medal) talk footy and life. They'll cover the big issues of the day, but will probably spend too much time on small ones too. Hosted by "Racetrack" Ralphy Horowitz, who got the gig because he works cheap and is Scotty's mate

Is it worth the lollipop?
01/10/2025 Duración: 30minIs it worth the lollipop? Fresh off Grand Final week, Swanny, Samantha and Ralph check in before heading west for charity gigs, Kalgoorlie cups, and the usual chaos. There’s talk of kids learning the pain of losing early, the questionable economics of taking six-year-olds to the ‘G, and the genius parenting hack of “if they don’t know it exists, you don’t have to pay for it.” Add in a dose of Royal Melbourne Show nostalgia, post-mortems on Geelong’s flop, Brisbane’s class, and a few licks of Snoop Dogg’s halftime show—and you’ve got the perfect midweek debrief.Follow & support us where you can, hit subscribe and share the pod with a mate.Podcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Race Track RalphySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/hump-day-with-swanny-and-friends.

Guest Friend - Jess Webster
03/09/2025 Duración: 54minTriple M sports broadcaster Jess Webster jumps behind the mic this week to join Swanny & Friends – and brings a touch of professionalism we’re not used to. We chat about her journey from the Northern Territory to the heart of AFL media, her Queensland roots, and the fact her beloved Brisbane Lions are still alive in the finals. Jess opens up about press box pressures, grand final week mayhem, and how an AAMI Clanger moment made her feel right at home with the Triple M crew. A ripping chat with one of the best in the biz – plus your usual dose of questionable takes, rogue detours, and Dane’s refusal to follow social norms.Follow & support us where you can, hit subscribe and share the pod with a mate.Podcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round CarnivalGuest Friend: @jessicaewebsterSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/hump-day-with-swanny-and-friends.

The return of The Librarian
27/08/2025 Duración: 49minThe Return of the Librarian – Lord Heath ShawHe’s back—and louder than ever. The one and only Heath Shaw returns to the studio for an unfiltered, no-notes catch-up with Samantha, Dane and Ralph. From calling out vanilla media takes to reminiscing about footy feuds, fly kicks, and flag wins, Lord Heath is in vintage form. There’s a sprinkling of Giants nostalgia, a few cheeky jabs at the Pies’ current list, and just enough locker room chaos to remind us why he’s podcast royalty.

Is Dane Applying for the Vacant Dees Coaching Gig? And why a Pies Win will Anchor His Multi this weekend.
06/08/2025 Duración: 41minBit 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 the role, noting that he has missed call from Pickers this morning, so there is every chance it's the Dees reaching out to chat. Ralphy reckons Longmire is a decent shot, although he has no tips on it from anyone in the know.Have the Dees been selfish? Dane says yes, and explains why. And he has an idea about salary cap exemptions for veterans, and for low draft pick players who clubs identified, took a risk on, and developed. Should Max Gawn leave Melbourne? Dane says it makes business sense for him to.Speaking of business sense. Dane's big multi is goooooone. And he's not happy about

“Is it for the love of the game?" + Maths Science
16/07/2025 Duración: 56minIs 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 get sidetracked (naturally) by NBA finals, horse dramas, and listener questions that spiral faster than a Friday night at the local. It’s raw, honest, and exactly what you’ve come to expect — equal parts footy insights and off-the-rails fun.Follow & support us elsewherePodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round CarnivalGamblers Helpline: 1800 858 858Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/hump-day-with-swanny-and-friends.
