Sammy Smythe Footy Show

Ben Ridley stepped into the seat vacated by J-Mac this week. He had one thing to do too, the Millewa footy ladder which didn't quite go to plan.

J-Mac brought us up to speed with a good old-fashioned head count out in the Sunraysia Women's Football League.

Sammy came racing out of the blocks for the second last show of the season. Straight up he was into J-Mac for running his car battery flat at last weekend's Millewa Grand Final out at the Lake. Then Patty was in the gun after someone had texted in telling him to take his red & blue glasses off when calling Mildura games. J-Mac recovered enough to give us his full wrap of what turned out to be a bumper Millewa Grand Final Day. The boys were also in on Robinvale's Baxter Mensch to take out this year's McLeod Medal, while 2-time McLeod Medalist Trevor Larkins was this week's special guest on the phone.Support the show: https://hotfm.org.au/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Triple points round on the tipping last weekend proved to be a bonanza for J-Mac who is now 9 points clear on top of the table. Sammy & Patty had their pants pulled down after revisiting their picks for the SFNL Top 5 from way back in April. The big Millewa Footy Second-Semi boil over was a big talking point too.
