Hump Day with Swanny & Friends

From Williamstown premiership glory to managing Freo's list and fielding firestorms at Carlton, Brad Lloyd joins Swanny, Samantha & Ralph to unpack his unique journey through footy’s many layers. Hear the stories behind Nat Fyfe’s draft rise, Lockie Neale’s late steal, and what it's like giving a pre-game speech with Nathan Buckley in the room. There's also a little Thailand mugging, a lot of Ned C culture, and a reminder that not every media scrum goes to plan. It’s honest, sharp and full of footy gold.

Is 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.

We had a bit of time up our sleeve wondering if Strauchanie was going to turn up - He was a late out so we amused our selves as we always do with a bit of shed talk.

Dr Samantha made an appearance but mainly, it was footy chat. Footy gone, footy to come. Glorious Football.

Triple 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.

Maths Science: Finals Week 1

It’s Finals footy and the chaos is real – especially inside Dane Swan’s phone. This week, we unpack Swanny’s refusal to save numbers (yes, even yours), his treadmill top-speed claims that would make Usain Bolt blush, and how to decipher a contact list full of nicknames and guesswork. Plus, your classic Maths Science: best bets, blowout predictions, and Swanny refusing to wear a suit – again. We preview all four Finals Week 1 clashes:

The Return of the Librarian – Lord Heath Shaw

He’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. Warning: contains opinions, most of them loud.

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 – classic Maths Science.

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.

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 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 it.

Confirmed: Dane is playing in the Legends game on August 28. Not planning to break a sweat.

Plenty of questions and comments from you, a number of them a tad fruity this week.

Dane talks us through where the Pies are at with their training, and how they are planning the run into finals. He reckons they should be the anchor for your multi this weekend.

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 - Toby Greene vs Tom Papley. And talk about skinfolds, getting the piss ripped when having them taken in front of team-mates, and why Dane says if you can't reveal players weight, why can you reveal their height?

Bunch of listener questions for the team which we run through - keep them coming.

Dane reveals how his crypto investment is going (it's good), Jobe reveals how is is going (it's not good).

Daisy....has he had botox? Plenty of piss is ripped over Daisy's medical efforts.

Jobe talks about his love for wrestling and how Hulk Hogan's passing affected him.

Fantasy footy time the NFL, we hear how Jobe gets his team ready.

And what region of Australia does Jobe reckon should get the 20th AFL license? It's not North Queensland or the Northern Territory.

Plus we discuss St Kilda and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Jobe says they cannot let him leave.

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 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.

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 Malthouse moments—and shares stories from the rowdy Jack Newton Classic featuring golfers, grub, and grog...and landing his wife despite waking up in a bush. A ripper ep with laughs, legends, and a healthy dose of Dixon charm.

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 a classic Collingwood conspiracy from Dane. Oh, and there's a stubby holder up for grabs if you made it to the end.

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-hugged and footy chat veers (barely) into actual analysis.

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 strategies, and a cheeky plug for Oakley District’s night of nights.

Guest Friend – Luke Ball

This week, Samantha, Dane and Ralph are joined by premiership Pie and former AFLPA president Luke Ball for a cracking episode filled with stories, insights, and a few polite digs. From his early days as a teenage standout at St Kilda, to navigating the politics of a high-profile trade to Collingwood, Bally opens up about footy life, leadership, and what it was like sharing the field (and the locker room) with greats like Robert Harvey, Nick Riewoldt, Scott Pendlebury, Dane Swan and more. There’s chat about Mick Malthouse’s mind games, the brilliance of the Saints' golden era, and how close he came to throwing it all in before the premiership year. Equal parts footy nostalgia and fresh perspective—this one’s got something for everyone.

There Was a Sink, a Unicorn & a Whole Lotta Smut

Dane’s dialling in from bed in Perth, Sam’s apologising (again) as the lads tiptoe the blurry line between filth and footy, and Ralph’s somehow keeping the ship semi-afloat. From waffle-stomping bathroom dilemmas and dragon book smut to charity gigs, future bets, and junior footy cameos—this one’s got everything you probably didn’t need… and then some. Oh, and there’s footy chat too. Sort of.

Hungry Unicorns, Hairy Lines & Maths Science Mayhem

Round 11 kicks off with Sam apologising for the lads dragging chaos from this week’s other wild episode into what’s meant to be the serious one. Dane’s banging on about unicorns, Ralph’s trying to talk totals, and Sam’s just trying and really struggling to hold the ship steady. There’s full-strength footy debates, suspect line calls, weather updates, and a rare appearance from Maths Science logic. Plus, Dane’s torn between North and Collingwood, but the multis? Still flowing.

It’s Round 10 and the gang’s got the calculators out—sort of—as Sir Doug Nicholls Round meets Math Science. Ralph’s flying to Brisbane to witness a potential Dees disaster, Dane’s hot on North and overs, and Sam’s just trying to keep the facial references to a minimum. They’re tipping upsets, revisiting Port's pronunciation, and questioning if Freo’s ever heard of fast ball movement. Plus, the surprise "best bet" of the round might raise a few eyebrows.

She Took Responsibility... Then Blamed the Umpires

This week the crew is scattered across the country but united in chaos. Dane’s torching his multi bets with NHL legs, Ralph’s dodging cancel culture while copping it on Twitter, and Sam’s navigating toddler soccer politics and car-wash diplomacy on Mother’s Day. The crew also digs into Laura Kane’s curious case of full responsibility (with a side of blame), the AFL’s flopping epidemic, and what really deserves a punch in the face. Yes, there’s footy talk. No, there’s no filter.

The Only Thing I’d Threaten Is a Good Time

This week, the lads cover everything from NFL quarterbacks and Twistie sandwiches to Ballarat hecklers and Brad Scott’s media flair. Dane unpacks the chaos around media doorstops, Ross Lyon’s surprise holiday backlash, and why sometimes it’s not about footy—it’s about flossing before breakfast. It's the usual unfiltered blend of headlines, hot takes, and hypotheticals you didn’t ask for but are glad you got.

Round 9: Maths Science for 2025

Dane’s tipping confidence is shaky, Ralphie’s backing underdogs, and Sam’s just trying to stay upright around horses. This week’s Maths Science covers everything from Freo’s time-warp game plan to Spud’s Game reflections and a last-minute Mother's Day warning. It’s form guides, footy grief, and a whole lot of "gamble responsibly"—all wrapped in the usual chaos.

Guest, Friend... Michael Roberts

Ahead of Spud’s Game, the boys catch up with AFL great and media mainstay Michael Roberts for a heartfelt and hilariously raw walk down memory lane. From the chaos of plugger doorstops to the wild days of live crosses from pubs, Robbo dishes out the gold. But it’s his moving tribute to his mate Danny Frawley—both the fearless leader and the loveable larrikin—that makes this one special. A reminder that behind every great character is a cause worth backing. Footy, friendship, and a few inappropriate stories—just how Spud would’ve liked it.

Round 8: Maths, Science for 2025

Dane’s body made it to the studio—his mind, however, might still be courtside at the NBA. This week, the boys tackle Round 8 with their signature blend of footy logic, listener tangents, weather predictions, and just a hint of edibles. From Freo form woes to questionable scheduling calls, it’s Maths & Science mayhem at its finest.

From That Day Forward, I Decided I’d Never Have Another Penis Inside Me

Don’t let the title fool you—this one’s more full-strength footy banter than romantic revelation. Dane's back on deck, joined by the usual suspects, diving headfirst into coaching blow-ups, AFL brain fades, local footy bruises, and the ever-growing list of things that now get you suspended for just showing a bit of ticker. As usual, the episode is fuelled by your listener-submitted questions, keeping the lads off-track and on-brand. With plenty of laughs, a splash of scandal, and a few unsolicited wellness tips, it’s everything you expect from Swanny & Friends… and probably a bit more.

Guest, Friend... Gary Ayres

With Swanny off on very important business (most likely crafting the perfect last-minute excuse from the porcelain throne), we brought in footy royalty to hold court—five-time premiership Hawk, former Geelong coach, and all-round legend Gary Ayres. In this epic chat, Ayresy dives deep into the locker room stories, coaching lessons, and footy wisdom only decades in the game can deliver. He pays heartfelt tribute to the late, great Allan Jeans, reflects on coaching the enigmatic Billy Brownless, and shares his unique perspective on playing alongside the freakish talent that was Gary Ablett Sr. Add in mentions of Hawks icons like Dunstall, Dipierdomenico, Langford, Mu, and Platten—and you’ve got an episode that truly earns its spot in the Swanny & Friends hall of fame.

This week on Swanny & Friends, we had a very special guest lined up… or so we thought. While their seat remained suspiciously vacant, the show went on in full flight—non-heroin, of course. From oddly specific sock protocols and AFL supporter tier lists to Easter hunts and monster truck plans, it’s the usual mix of life, laughs, and a sprinkle of chaos. Turns out, sometimes, some of the best banter happens when it’s just Swanny and us, as his friends.

This week, the gang gathers 'round (online!) for Round 5 of the AFL—and things get weird quick. Sam’s rocking eye masks, Ralphy’s tipping like a psychic, and Dane’s torn between team loyalty and betting logic. From salmon sperm skincare to elevator placement theory and a definitive list of AFL “stars vs superstars” on the horizon—this one’s got it all. Plus, the crew makes their best (and possibly worst) calls for Gather Round in Adelaide.

Happy listening and fluttering (responsibly, of course)

Well as Samantha returns to form after a few weeks of "sleep rehab", she even brought a segment to the table...about time she started doing something around here!

Dane also asked the questions - "What is wrong with Melbourne?" and what is this "Sexy Siren Song Freo are singing" because well they are no good but some how fool us all into thinking other wise.

We also covered just how much of a tight arse some of Dane's team mates, coaches and friends are and how some sponsors were just made to take advantage of!

Hello and welcome back Samantha, to your own podcast, thanks for bringing some kind of audio know-how.

This week was one of Samantha's favourite chats, could be because she has slept...and she told us about it.

The magnificent Nick Maxwell dropped in (we're at his place) and we chatted through another one of Pendles and Steele's milestones they are collecting this weekend.

After the break Dane gives some incredible insight into the Reid, Daicos, Darcy comparison and we, like every other footy show, unpack the Archer incident.

As the title suggests, a bit of wisdom from Daneo sprinkled in and some controversial events from the week unpacked and you have a fairly standard Swanny & Friends episode!

It's our first second generation guest and the setting was fitting. Recording out of the Collingwood boardroom, child actor turned Journo, Xander McGuire came in for a chat.

Explaining how "Dad always preaches carve your own path" and how he's doing it his way.

We caught up on how his brother Joe is doing in the College system and how Ed was referred to as "McGuires Dad!"

A trip down memory lane as he reminisced on growing up around the club an a look forward as he prepared to take on his new roles at 7 and the AFL.

Which, is a wonderful thing as this week's guest brought his wonderful radio voice to our ears with stories & laughs about all sorts of things from which sinful categories some of the most famous sports stars of times gone by like George Best & Michael Jordan would fit into and more controversial topics like the "Fine Cotton" saga!

As a Melbourne tragic, there is, of course, some footy chat & we find out that lucky for us, he is back on the airwaves in 2025 with the one and only Mick Malloy!

This weeks episode was simply too good to throw away. Samantha set us up then went off to work, some of us have real jobs. After she hit go, Ralphy's mic failed. So Ralphy re recorded and Samantha cut every bit of audio in to save the ep. Is it the best quality? No. But we were grateful that Richo gave up his time to come in and chat with us, for you guys, so we gave up ours to do our best to save it.

Some great banter & stories in here from Dane's passport in Argentina tale to some memories from the Tiger great about some people we know.

Fresh of his ride in Singapore where he crossed paths with our very own dane, unsurprisingly in the wee hours, Daniel Moor joins us to chat what life is like as a professional fast horse rider.

The racing podcast if you're not into racing, he chats everything from whips to weight & if you're off to Caulfield on the weekend, you can cheer him on in person - Caulfield Cup Race 9 - Number 12 Muramasa on this Saturday!

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

With no footy games in the mens there is still plenty of players going out for coffee with other clubs and journos rubbing their hands about it!

Enjoy a little banter filling time between guests. Oh and of course, thank you for your listener questions, they really do make the show!

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 Ratten

50% of the room were Collingwood Premiership players today when a surprisingly funny, humble yet self aware, Nathan Murphy joined us.

We talked living with Ginny to rooming with De Goey, his covid bubble holiday to a sober Mad Monday and how he won a footy B&F for a comp that didn’t exist!

An enjoyable chat with a cracker of a bloke who’s s honesty about his fear of getting the footy was good for a belly laugh.

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. However the amount of shit we have to talk is still flowing thick and fast.

Enjoy another week of our nonsense where we talk everything from Dusty to Docos

We've been trying to get this notch on our belt for over a year now but we're sure as hell pleased he finally agreed to join us this week when his beloved Hawks are flying into the Semi finals!

One of Australia's finest Broadcasters, journos and football callers, Stephen Quartermain (Quarters) joins the Swanny and friends crew for a trip down memory lane.

Now some stories will forever remain in the vault (particularly when living with D.Brereton) but those he could share with us were incredible. He spoke of his infatuation with bacon through to the nerves that came with hosting the Brownlow through to how he never wants to know how long is left on the clock when calling a game of footy and we all indulged in what we would tell our 20 year old selves...unsurprisingly they were all worlds apart.

Enjoy the candor from a fabulous and well respected member of our football media.

From Claremont to Kalgoorlie, Dane told us of his work travels over the past week.

Thanks to our listener questions there was a bit of chat about the Blues' Blues & some Melbourne leadership updates and Samantha apologises to the Doggies fans.

We snuck Maths Science on the end Samantha is still living in a previous season, she's a bit tired and we laughed at her expense, supportively of course.

Enjoy!

You asked, we delivered! No seriously, one listener request has lead to all of our enjoyment when Dane's fellow North Melbourne Member and Ralphy's old colleague, Trevor Marmalade joins us for a candid trip down memory lane.

Enjoy bar stories from the best job in the world when the Footy show was in its prime right through to a great tale of how Hey Hey it's Saturday made it to the UK and it ended in Shane Warne bowling to Pluck-a-Duck!

This has every thing from Party Pies to Roasts and not both of the edible kind before we unpack Week 1 of the AFL finals series...Trev stuc around for a different perspective.

We hope you have a good ol'belly laugh as we did

Dan and Dane walked in to a bar in Berlin... the rest makes for good podcast content!

Two greats on field banter about how they weren’t too different off field. Hannebery joins us for a great chat about his time at Sydney with some of the games greats, how he is fitter now not playing footy, than he was during his time at StKilda and how he wished for one more season. Oh and as we've alluded too, some great pub chat in there too.

Just the one this week...to make you want us more...Not really we just thought we'd pop it all in one nice succinct episode where you can get your shit talk and game break down in the same spot.

So we start with Dane putting together a lovely little recipe for a Petracca pie trade, we unpack some Mick Malthouse thoughts and get to some listener questions.

You also may have seen on the 30 year Footy show TV special, Part 1... Their truth about the cream pie saga...well here is Ralphy's side of it, for you the people.

It is rounded out with all things round 24 of the AFL Premiership season.

Sorry, you caught us mid conversation where Dane was busy on a certain weekend but when Samantha said ther would be a fee involved he was just checking if he could be come available ... its what we've come to expect of our dear Dane. The rest of the show is no different! As we have a stellar guest in this week we got our shit. talking out of the way in this episode including listener questions, before we dove into unpacking the big footy issues of late and the upcoming round 23.

Topic of the week was the retirement of arguably the best there has ever been to play the game and Dane told us how their love story really began.

We thought we'd workshop some possible career paths forward for him which naturally lead to a review of Beauty and The Beast, the musical...Spoiler alert...Dane gives away the ending! Gosh you really do get a bit of everything!

Through our wonderful listener questions Dane reveals why he turned down the idea of captaining Collingwood and a real relatable conversation about buying houses with spare money...

Enjoy!

This week we were joined by Saint Kilda tough nut Steven Baker who brought not only some fab yarns about some of the greats like Lingy & Lenny Hayes but had some incredible messages around mental resilience.

He spoke candidly about his friendship with best mate Warney and life after losing someone who was such a large part of your life and told us about his first training session as a saint...let's just say any other job you'd likely be fired!

In a year where it seems no one wants to win it (Probably because its an olympic year so it doesn’t really count) Ralphy reaffirms his support to Flagmantle.

We unpack the round that is upon us but not before getting to some listener questions & Dane proposes some Olympic sports that should probably get a run!

We are online as Dane is still over West but we couldn’t leave you hanging, there was just far too much happening in he world of football that everyone else covered so we didn’t ...instead we picked one or two and just got to the important stuff...your questions!

So! Today, Dane weighs in on Jack Ginnivan and the Hawk selfies and well lets just say he's a bit of an old fudddy dudddy about it.

The rest is the usual and we know you love it so he took us out with a joke to finish...

"Degeneratesassemble!" As we unpack Round 20 of the AFL Premiership season.

With Swanny being away giving back to the people of WA we are online again. He is still awaiting an official invite to the Western Derby if anyone knows anyone...

This (being online) also means there are cameos from the children. Sorry. Really. No bag of treats could keep them at bay today.

Dane fancies himself the next Lara Bingle and no were not referring to his hungover footy skills over the weekend.

He calls in from his bed in Perth to join the rest of the community in unpacking the wildcard round possibility and you wont believe it, theres some low brow gags in here.

Dane is a team player and the team he plays for is you the people so this week he has called in from Perth, yes he got up early, to get this episode of his and Ralphy's musings about round 19, to your earholes.

The rambling, we saved for part 2.

Well back from his work trip with his 6 other mates, Ralphy explains how his time in Vegas was slightly different to Dane's many visits.

It is usually Dane that has Samantha on edge about inappropriateness but Ralphy came out firing today!

Some listener questions led into us unpacking the upcoming round of the AFL premiership season

Ralphy is away....but you usually cant hear him anyway.

Samantha and Dane weren't going to let you down just because Ralphy wanted to take his kids to Vegas so they jumped on line and put down thoughts on every thing from why other peoples farts smell worse than your own through to some great insight on who the best player in the league is right now.

They then went through and unpacked each game of the round for those of you who love a punt.

Remember though do it responsibly if you do.
