Coodabeens Saturday Soiree

It's mid-season draft time and the ABC's own Danny Morgan has a few memories of his mid-season draft selection 27 years ago.

The Coodabeens were keeping you company at the polling booth today with a great suite of songs, calls and guests. We hope you enjoyed your democracy sausage.

It was John Ironmonger day on the Coodabeens - the former Roy and Swan and now - current day all-American!

A 500 game Gippsland champ, the start of the VFLW season and Stan Magro...what more could you want?!

Last week, Young Andy's ski jumper seeped into his veins and he started dreaming of Queen's Birthday weekend - hence the June 20 podcast title... This week, with two Demons losses under his belt, that's all out of his system, so we're back on the April track. We go academic - but still footy - with Nick Marshall PhD, AFLW expansion with Peta Serle and Tiger premiership player, Stephen Mount.

A man down but the Coodabeens' zone defence filled the hole. We talked France with Wallsy and the Demons and Saints with Stephen Newport.

The Coodabeens check in with Phillip Island's coach Beau Vernon; we go to the home of football in the US, Washington D.C., to talk with a D.C. Eagle footballer, Johanna Gleeson plus we raise the level of tone with barrister and ex-Tiger, Stephen 'The Jurica Stockade' Jurica.

Sans Champs today - but Shae Sloan joined the show, as did an old friend, comedian and former song collaborator from the '80s Matthew Hardy. So you certainly won't go without!

The Coodabeens reconnect with comedian Matthew Hardy, head across the ditch to find out what’s happening with Aussie Rules, New Zealand-style, talk with AFLW star, Shae Sloane, and tap into the world of pilot Peter Moore. Sauce from Sea Lake reads poetry while Cliff from Clematis has a hot tip.

The Coodabeens were good for the run this week, and didn't it show second game back! All the skills were on display and they went right on with the business. Simon Wiggins, former Blue and current train driver was a special guest.

The Coodabeen Champions: Show 2, 2019 featuring Leesa Catto’s preview of the AFLW Grand Final, we tap into a push to ‘Save Our Crabs’ in the SA ammos and meet a real-life footballing Casey Jones in ex-Carlton champ, Simon Wiggins. Callers include Danny from Droop St and Barry from the Barossa while Greg Champion reinvents David Bowie.

The Coodabeen Champions: Show 1, 2019 featuring legendary Magpie Dermott Brereton on his local cricketing exploits and Leesa Catto on the AFLW preliminary finals. Talkback caller, Pearl, checks in while Greg Champion takes on ‘The Gambler’ aka ‘Award No Frees (When the Game is in the Balance)’.

It's the annual Coodabeen Champions grand final special, September 29 2018-style.

It's talkback from the Coodabeens' 2018 grand final special. Think Guru Bob, Nige and Pearl.

Andy 'Chopper' Lovell joined the show - Suns assistant coach, former Demon and former Eagle. And former Tasmanian junior woodchopper!

Star Collingwood VFLW coach, Penny Cula-Reid, and Jason Heatley - 21 years after he kicked the Saints into a Grand Final in 1997.

Grand Final 1977. Draw. Grand Final replay 1977 - the VFL had no pre-match entertainment. Enter, the only playoff for third played. Between Hawthorn and Richmond. Neville Roberts joined us to chat about playing in the game.

Back to King Island for their Grand Final, a VFLW goal kicking record, cult hero Peter Street and a footy beanie knitting project.

As the demolition of Adelaide's Football Park begins, we talk to one of the designers of the iconic South Australian stadium.
