Ep. 24 - The Swans got the job done this week, leading all day against the Roos, but not without some nervous moments in the final quarter when North fought back to within a goal after trailing by 38 points in the first half.

Ep. 20 - There haven't been many stranger build ups to a game than round 18 against GWS. The venue was switched twice (almost three times), with the Sydney Derby moving from Sydney to Ballarat (and almost to Canberra) before ending up on the Gold Coast. Both sides lost key players to quarantine just before the first bounce, and by quarter time the Swans were down 6 goals to 1 and looking like they might be on the end of a belting. Then just 90 minutes later the boys were 26 point winners after an amazing recovery that included a run of 9 unanswered goals in quarters 2 and 3. Noddy and Stevo try to make some sense out of all the craziness, they talk about what might be next for the AFL in this second Covid-disrupted season, and look ahead to the next game against the Dockers (also on the Gold Coast).

Ep. 18 - The Swans enjoyed a massive 92 point win at their new home away from home in Geelong, keeping the highly rated Eagles to just 3 goals for the match.

Ep. 17 - The Bloods were in the game all day against Port, and played some of their best footy in months, but couldn't quite get the win in the end. Noddy and Stevo go over the game, look at what the series of Australian lockdowns and border closures might mean for the coming weeks in the AFL, ask whether the Tiger Dynasty is really on it's way down, and preview the coming round of games in the AFL.
Ep. 16 - The Bloods are back, fresh off the bye week. Noddy and Stevo take a look at which players have served us best so far this year, they think about how the AFL competition might look in years to come, and then preview all the round 15 AFL action, focussing on the Bloods' big game in Adelaide on Saturday.
Ep. 15 - Hawthorn did a real number on the Swans at the SCG last Friday night, and Noddy and Stevo pick up the pieces and go through them to try and figure out what went wrong. They take a good look at the ladder to see what the unexpected loss has done for the Bloods' finals chances, and get ready for a week of no Swans to watch as our boys rest up over the bye weekend.
Also check out our new series, A Quick Bevy with Swans Fans, where Noddy and our mate Chris answer your buzzing Swans questions on the clock each week. You can find them on YouTube and wherever you listen to your podcasts.
Ep. 14 - Swans grind out another solid SCG win.

They catch up on what else is happening around the AFL, preview Sydney's next game versus the Hawthorn Hawks, and give their tips for the rest of the round 13 fixtures in the AFL.
Ep. 13 - Swans get the job done with a strong second half against the Blue Baggers. Much happier than they were last week, Noddy and Stevo re-live the win against Carlton, consider who the Swans might pick up in the upcoming mid-season draft (maybe add another McCartin to the squad?), and look forward to the round 12 game against the Saints.
Ep. 12 - Third quarter Dockers surge too strong for travelling Bloods. After another tight loss to a fellow finals contender, Noddy and Stevo search for some answers to what went wrong and what we need to do next week to beat the Blues in another big game that will shape the bottom half of the 8. They also give an update on the Swans VFL team, discuss some of the great Indigenous players to wear the red and white in the lead up to this year's Indigenous Rounds, and preview some of the other big games in round 11 of the AFL.

Once again, with hearts still racing from Saturday's nail-biting victory against the Cats, Noddy and Stevo dissect the things the Swans got right, as well as the things that both did and didn't go our way on the night. They touch on the Swans' narrow loss to the Cats in the VFL, add a few cents to the Port-Magpies jumper saga, have a look ahead to the next AFL game against the still undefeated Demons, as well as look at a few other big games coming up in Round 8.
Ep. 8 - Hot young Suns outwork sluggish Sydney at Metricon. A disappointing 40 point loss on the Gold Coast saw the Swannies drop their second game in two weeks. Noddy and Stevo trawl through the game to try and find some positives to take into the upcoming Round 7 game against Geelong, and have a look at the latest Swans VFL game to see if there are any likely replacements for those on the growing injury list. They check up on the AFL ladder as it starts to take shape at the quarter time mark of the season, and preview the other big games of Round 7 in the AFL.
Ep. 7 - Kelly's late goal breaks Swans' hearts. In years gone by Swans fans would be celebrating a late Kelly match-winner, but not this year. Still emotionally recovering from Saturday's game against the Giants, the first Swans loss for the year, Noddy & Stevo mull over what we got right, what we didn't get quite right, and what we need to work on if we are to keep the win/loss record in the positive for the rest of the season.

They also touch on the AFL's rolling fixture model, preview the AFLW Grand Final, and look ahead to the big games of Round 5 in the AFL.
Ep. 5 - Swans ambush Tigers!! Still buzzing from Saturday's huge win against Richmond, Noddy and Stevo relive the big moments from the game, and ask the question going around the AFL this week: Are the Swans genuine finals contenders in 2021? They examine the form of the other 3-0 teams, the Bulldogs and the Demons, catch up on week one of the AFLW finals, and look at the big games coming up in round 5 of the AFL.
Ep. 4 - Welcome back Buddy! Footy finally returned to the SCG on Saturday, and so did big Buddy Franklin with 3 goals and the promise of more to come. Noddy and Stevo go through their highlights from the game, take a look at the fallout from some recent AFL match review decisions, they review the state of play in the AFLW heading into the finals series, and preview the upcoming round of matches in the AFL.
