North Melbourne won this week, and Smythy calls it as just another day at the office…but does it mean Liam Adams is the coach to lead the Shinboners forward? Ryan says he’s not a great fan of Robbie but has been to several of his concerts…bit of a chin scratcher that one!Question or comment?

This week, Smythy and Ryan get Josh Hollands and Brent Trewin to put away the whistle and join them to chat about Community Umpiring Week. It’s a pretty inspiring discussion that leaves Ryan pondering if he should sign his kids up… The ACT and NSW each had representation in the Bank Sponsor’s U18 AFLW All Australian Team. We interviewed each of them to see why they were selected and, crucially, what’s next. Hint: It’s playing footy. Ryan recounts the 2012 Premiership (when he collected two medals…), reflecting on what he calls the toughest physical and mental match of his career. Feels like yesterday. And, as usual, everyone’s favourite segment Quick Hands sheds some light on former professional players playing in the bush for cash, with Smythy thinking the beer after the game is more important than the result…fair. It’s a bumper edition so tune in and chill out on our website, Apple Podcasts or Spotify. AND email playonpod@afl.com.au for any questions, comments or funny jokes.
