And then there were two, just Sammy and Patty this week. The dynamic duo rifled through all of the big highlights from the 1st week of the Sunraysia Footy Finals Series. Slammer was full of confidence too when it came to his beloved Robinvale Euston A Grade Netball girls bouncing back after getting knocked over by Mildura in the Qualifying Final. The boys also revealed the Sammy Smythe Footy Show Team of the Decades forward line. Some sort of squadron being put together there! And Cardross Lions Coach Paddy Irwin was the special guest on the phone ahead of the Millewa Football Netball League Grand Final this weekend.

Sammy and the team revisited a massive end to this year's Sunraysia Footy & Netball Home & Away campaign. The big fella was up and about with his beloved Bulldogs set to feature in the finals action for the first time in a long time. He was also pretty pumped that he finished joint leader of the tipping competition with Patty, prompting a triple points call to arms for the last 4 weeks of the season. J-Mac had the good oil on all things Millewa Footy, while Mildura FNC favourite Tony Jones was this week's Where Are They Now guest on the phone.

This week Sammy and the team run the ruler over the all-important Round 18 Sunraysia Footy clashes. The stakes were raised when it came to the tipping competition too with double points on offer for the final round of the home and away. J-Mac also served up some valuable insight ahead of the opening weekend of the Millewa Footy finals. HOT FM’s own John Hollywood stepped up as the Where Are They Now phone guest, while the wraps were taken off the Sammy Smythe Footy Show Team of the Decades…

Sammy put the footy to one side at the start of the show this week and continued the push for his big Golf Day coming up later this year at the Mildura Golf Resort. The boys then settled in to look back over Round 16 of Sunraysia Footy and Round 14 in the Millewa. Tips were also a bit of a talking point with Sam and J-Mac finishing the season strongly to really put the pressure on Patty. Glenn Goss was this week's Where Are They Now guest on the phone all the way from Tasmania.

J-Mac returned to join the boys in Studio 1 this week. A recap of Sammy’s Polar Plunge happened to be high on the agenda including the wash up, so to speak, on the injury front. The on-again, off-again in-house tipping competition may have been sparked back in to life with those who initially jumped ship maybe now back on board. Watch this space… Coverage of last weekend’s Sunraysia and Millewa footy action featured as did special Where Are They Now guest, The Mayor of Nangiloc David Hensgen.

Ben Ridley stepped up to fill the big boots of J-Mac this week instantly handing him over full Millewa Footy responsibilities. Sammy was a little on edge ahead of his big Law Enforcement Run Polar Plunge at Apex Park over the weekend, however he stayed strong to deliver and then some when it came to all of the A Grade Netball news. Victorian Country football journeyman Ash Connick was this week’s Where Are They Now special guest on the phone.

Sammy drew comparisons to Neil the Seal after a promo video shoot that went viral this week. The big fella was on the money though with arguably his strongest A Grade Netball wrap of the 2026 season. Sunraysia Footy Round 13 reviews and previews of Round 14 were also the order of the day. J-Mac told us what we needed to know from the Millewa League, while Ouyen legend Wayne Grace was this week’s Where Are They Now guest on the phone.

Sam was held to account over another broadcasting code of conduct breach on the show this week. It may have provided him with an opportunity to showcase his talent on an even bigger stage… The team also recap the big moments from the completion of Round 9 (Split) last weekend. Tips vs the Moneybox was thrown into the mix once again while South Mildura favourite Peter Hahn made the most of his Where Are They Now phone spot.
