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
• Joining the Channel 7 Racing team
• Life balancing football, media and racing

The spotlight then shifts to Dicko, who discusses:

• Recent appearances on Sky Racing Radio with Dave Stanley
• 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
• What punters should be looking for during winter racing

Whether you're an AFL fan, racing enthusiast or just enjoy a good sports chat with plenty of banter, Episode 92 has you covered.
