We're running it back two weeks in a row with Dicko & Paps! 🐓🔥

Episode 93, “Sickies”, is up and about with plenty of AFL, Sydney Swans, horse racing, black bookers and the usual banter.

🦢 AFL

The main footy chat centres around the Sydney Swans' clash with Port Adelaide, with plenty to unpack from the weekend.

Paps runs through Dattoli's impressive performance after earning his opportunity, before the conversation turns to Logan McDonald, aka Big Bruce, and his growing impact on the AFL competition. 💪

The boys also discuss:

🏉 Will Green making his Sydney debut and holding his own against Jordan Sweet in the ruck.

🔥 Charlie Cameron kicking a bag and making his presence felt.

⚡ Jai Serong running amuck on the wing and showing why he's one of Sydney's exciting new recruits.

The lads then cast their eyes across the rest of the competition, looking at the teams sitting around the top of the AFL ladder and which sides could genuinely challenge for the premiership.

🏆 And Paps reveals who he thinks is the toughest team to beat outside of the Swans.

🏇 Eyes On Ponies

The attention then turns to the weekend's racing, with the boys reviewing the action from Caulfield Heath and Randwick.

💨 A deep dive into The Missile Stakes

👀 Angel Capital gets plenty of attention, with the boys asking whether it's time to zig while everyone else is zagging.

📕 And then Dicko goes rogue...

He brings you TWO black bookers from the weekend's racing — one from Queensland and another from Morphettville.

Who are they? You'll have to listen to find out. 👀🐎

Dicko & Paps are back for another episode of The Early Crow Podcast, covering everything from AFL and the Sydney Swans to horse racing, media life and the ever-changing conditions affecting winter racing.

From a gutsy Swans win and some brutal injuries to life behind the scenes in racing and broadcasting, Episode 92 is packed with plenty of laughs, insights and the usual tangents.

🦢 AFL

The boys break down the Sydney Swans' hard-fought win over St Kilda, discuss a horror run of injuries across the competition and reveal the surprising reason behind the episode title, "Wedges", after Paps was forced to wear shoe wedges inside his brand-new boots.

They also look ahead to what the remainder of the AFL season could hold as clubs begin their run towards September.

🎙️ Behind the Microphone

Paps chats about his growing media commitments, including:

• AFL Special Comments on SEN

• Spending mornings in the stables with Logan McGill Racing
• Learning the day-to-day preparation of racehorses through The Mailbag Bloodstock

🏇 Eyes On Ponies

The lads dive into one of the biggest talking points in Australian racing right now — how rapidly changing track conditions are affecting horses, trainers and punters.

They discuss:

• Wet tracks turning dry
• Dry tracks becoming rain-affected
• How horses cope with changing surfaces

WE APOLOGISE FOR DICKO'S AUDIO AT TIMES!

Paps & Dicko are back for another episode of The Early Crow, and as the title suggests, there are plenty of tangents along the way. 🐓🔥

The lads kick things off discussing Tom's injury, the latest timeline for his return, and what his absence means moving forward. They also take a look at how the Sydney Swans have managed to keep themselves firmly in the mix despite a growing injury list that has seen several key players spend time on the sidelines this season. The Bloods continue to find a way, with reinforcements not too far away.

The conversation then shifts north to State of Origin Game 2, with the series heading to the MCG. NSW entered the clash looking to wrap up the series, while Queensland faced a must-win scenario to force a decider. The boys discuss the key match-ups, team changes and where they think the contest will be won and lost.

As always, there’s plenty of racing chat with a look at a few ponies, some betting angles, and even a couple of races watched live during the recording. It’s the usual mix of sport, racing, opinions, stories and the occasional complete derailment.
