“Were you ready?” they ask.You'd think I'd have a ready answer to a question asked so often. One I'd prepared earlier.Maybe it is less question and more response when people learn I was appointed CEO of the Richmond Football Club at age 24.This thought comes to mind when I am interviewing Collingwood Premiership Captain Nick Maxwell, the perfect guest “In the Arena” in Grand Final week. Since retiring as an AFL player after a remarkable career, Nick has been Leadership Coach and Mentor of Melbourne Storm in the NRL, Greater Western Sydney and Collingwood, and is now CEO of the wonderful Eclat, where designCEO is proudly located.The first team Nick Maxwell captained was Collingwood, the biggest and most famous in the country. He was never a captain of any of his junior teams because that honour generally went to one of the better players, which, in his own judgement, was never him.This judgement prevailed when the hundreds of names were called in draft after draft, but never his. He was good enough to be invited for tryouts over pre-season with AFL clubs, and the effort this asked of him, motivated by hope rather than expectation, only to be rejected time and again.Eventually, Collingwood did take a chance, but the stakes were low, as were the expectations, selection #15 in the Rookie Draft, which effectively made him the 99th player selected that year.It took him a season before he won a place in the Collingwood senior team, and after only twenty games, he was asked by legendary captain Nathan Buckley to join the player leadership group.“Were you ready?” I wonder.I have never really had a good answer, but as years pass, I now understand when taking on anything difficult, be it a personal goal, ambition or desire, or a circumstance or situation you find yourself, my answer is now:“You are never ready”.Nick Maxwell is now In the Arena. Play on!

Two energetic, young, small Richmond forwards are front and square on the latest episode of the Club's premier podcast, Talking Tigers. The TT team sing the praises of Rhyan Mansell and Steely Green, who were valuable contributors for the Tigers against Greater Western Sydney at the MCG last Sunday with their forward pressure and goalkicking exploits (Mansell, two goals, Green, three goals). Triple premiership star midfielder Dion Prestia's seamless return to the senior side following injury is another hot topic of discussion, along with captain Toby Nankervis' continued strong form, the improvement shown by Hugo Ralphsmith and Jacob Koschitzke, and the importance in the line-up of Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper. Also on this week's show, there is a summary of the final of the under-18 championships.

Sam Newman, Mike Sheahan and Don Scott - 'You Cannot Be Serious'
Dane Swan (born 25 February 1984) is a former elite professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Collingwood Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) Swan was drafted with pick 58 in the 2—1 AFL draft, and made his debut in Round 13, 2003 against the Western Bulldogs. Known as a prolific ball-winner, Swan averaged almost 27 disposals per game over his career. Swan was a premiership player, a Brownlow Medalist, a three-time Copeland Trophy recipient, a Leigh Matthews Trophy recipient, and a five-time All-Australian. Swan was notably runner-up in the 2017 reality TV show I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! on Network Ten. Early life Swan was born in Melbourne to Billy and Deidre Swan. He is a direct descendant of Thomas Flanagan, an Irish convict transported to Australia in 1849. His father Billy Swan was a highly decorated footballer in the VFA, winning the J. J. Liston Trophy twice and playing a competition record 302 games with Port Melbourne and Williamstown from 1976 to 1993. He grew up playing junior football for the West Meadows Football Club in the Essendon District Football League and attended St. Bernard's College in Essendon before playing his under-18 football with the Calder Cannons in the TAC Cup. Swan's performances at the Calder Cannons were ordinary and he was perceived by some recruiters to be a larrikin with questionable kicking accuracy and work ethic, however, Collingwood showed an interest in him as a potential late maturer in the mould of his father. Career Swan was recruited by the Collingwood Football Club with pick 58 in the 2001 AFL draft. He made his debut in June 2003 at the age of 19, though he only played three games (against the Western Bulldogs, Richmond and Essendon). Swan managed just 30 games in his first four seasons in the system at Collingwood, and although he played some solid football in that time, he was not regarded as outstanding. He played much of this time with Williamstown, which was then Collingwood's VFL affiliate, and he was a member of its 2003 premiership team. In 2006, he broke through, playing 21 games and finished sixth in the Copeland Trophy voting. Swan mainly rotated through the midfield and moved forward when required. His first nine weeks were productive, averaging nearly 26 disposals and kicked 15 goals, before a hamstring injury suffered against Brisbane Lions in round ten sidelined him until round thirteen. 2007 was considered his breakout season as he placed fourth in the Copeland Trophy and was a surprise packet at the Brownlow, leading for most of the night before finishing sixth with 20 votes. 2008 The 2008 Copeland Trophy winner had a strong year averaging twenty-five disposals, seven marks, three tackles and one goal a game. Swan led the team in total disposals (590) and kicks (368), second in marks (163), and third in handballs (222) and tackles (75). He had 14 games of 25 possessions or more and kicked two or more goals on six occasions. Round 10 against West Coast was one of Swan's best, collecting 34 possessions, 10 marks and two goals. In round 14 against Sydney, he had 30 touches and 13 marks. 2009 In the 2009 season, Swan averaged 31.8 disposals, 7.8 marks, 3.0 tackles and 5.4 inside-50s per game. He was one of the AFL's most prolific ball winners, along with being an in-and-under specialist winning the contested ball at most stoppages whilst also running hard. In Collingwood's 2009 round 10 clash against Port Adelaide, Swan obtained 48 possessions, 22 kicks and 26 handballs. This was the best disposal count in a decade and was then the third highest-recorded disposals count in one match, behind Greg Williams' 53 and Tony Shaw's 50. It was a record since the length of game quarters was shortened from 25 minutes to 20 minutes in 1994, until surpassed in round 22, 2011 by Adelaide's Scott Thompson (51 disposals). He was ranked third for total inside-50s, fourth in total goal assists, first in total kicks, fourteenth in total handballs, first in total disposals, tenth in total marks, fifth in inside-50s per game, thirteenth in goal assists per game, second in kicks per game, second in disposals per game. He was voted runner-up at the AFLPA MVP awards (polling 584 votes), finishing behind Gary Ablett (688). He was regarded as one of the front-runners for the Brownlow Medal but finished outside the top ten. Swan was selected in the 2009 All-Australia team, but controversially as a half forward flanker, rather than as a midfielder, which is his usual position. 2010 Swan averaged 31.8 disposals, including 19 kicks per game, totalling a then AFL record 820 disposals for the season. On 6 September, Swan won the AFL Players Association MVP Award (Leigh Matthews Trophy) after a vote by the players. That year he was also elected as the ruck-rover for the All-Australian team. His consistent season was a cornerstone to Collingwood's fifteenth premiership, to the point of having his tattoos referenced on the Herald Sun premiership poster. Swan finished third in the Brownlow Medal count, having started favourite. On 31 October in the International Rules Series he won the Jim Stynes Medal. At the conclusion of the season, Swan became only the fourth-ever Collingwood player to win three consecutive Copeland Trophies. 2011 With Swan's contract at Collingwood due to expire at the end of 2011, there was much pre-season media speculation over a possible move to new AFL club Greater Western Sydney. This was put to rest during the lead-up week to the season's commencement when Collingwood announced that Swan had signed a new three-year deal, committing him to the club until the end of 2014. Swan started 2011 in the same good form as 2010. He attained 40 disposals in round 2 against North Melbourne but sustained a quad injury close to the midway point of the season and his form deteriorated. Collingwood decided to send Swan, with teammates Brent Macaffer, Darren Jolly and Nathan Brown, to a high-altitude training camp in Arizona in an attempt to help the players recover faster from their individual injuries. The trip proved effective for Swan, with an immediate effect on his playing performances. In the next six games after his return, he had an average of 35.3 disposals per game with a strong effort against Essendon with 45 possessions and a goal. He later won the 2011 Brownlow Medal with 34 votes—setting a new record for the most votes polled in a count under the 3–2–1 system, which was later surpassed by Patrick Dangerfield in 2016. 2012 Swan received some criticism early on in the 2012 season and was accused of being unfit and "too fat". In the annual Anzac Day clash, Swan won his first Anzac Day medal as best on ground after a one-point win over Essendon, with forty-two possessions, three goals and six tackles during the game Swan missed two games midway through the season due to a hamstring injury, then returned for the Queen's Birthday clash in Round 11 against Melbourne, where he finished with a game high 42 possessions. Strong performances over the following two months saw Swan rise in the Brownlow Medal betting, to become one of the favourites behind Jobe Watson, Scott Thompson and Gary Ablett. Swan was later found to have broken a pledge made by the playing group to abstain from drinking alcohol for the remainder of the season. He was suspended for two games as a result. Swan had over 40 disposals in six different games, reaching a new career high of 49 against Hawthorn in the round 17 loss, he also didn't have below 25 disposals. Swan over the home and away season averaged 35.7 disposals (career high and AFL record since stats were recorded) and 1.2 goals a game. Despite missing four home and away games Swan still finished fourth in the Brownlow Medal count and averaged more votes per game than anyone else in the top ten. He was named on the bench in the All-Australian team, his fourth selection in his career. 2013 Swan started the season averaging 30 possessions in the first three matches. In round 4, Swan played his 200th AFL game against an unbeaten Richmond, producing an almost best on ground performance (thirty-five disposals, six marks and one goal) and was only bettered by teammate Travis Cloke, who kicked a career best seven goals. At the end of the year Swan averaged 31.2 disposals, 5.7 marks, 3.4 tackles, and 5.2 inside-50s per game. He finished first in overall disposals, and equal seventh in total inside-50s. Swan was selected as the ruck-rover in the 2013 All-Australian team, the fifth consecutive year he was included. Swan finished third in the Brownlow Medal with 26 votes, losing by two to the winner Gary Ablett, and one to second-placed Joel Selwood. 2014 After wrist surgery in the off season, Swan started the season slowly, with an average of 22 disposals in the first three rounds, including just sixteen disposals in round 2. It didn't take long for him to find his form though, including thirty-five disposals and eleven marks against North Melbourne, and twenty-six disposals and four goals against Essendon to earn him his second ANZAC medal. 2015 After 2014, a year that Swan described as putrid. He returned to career-best form in 2015, averaging twenty-nine disposals and one goal per game, as well as reaching the 250-game milestone. Swan notched 30 disposals in 11 games during 2015 and played every game in 2015 apart from Collingwood's round 23 clash against Essendon due to a knee injury he sustained the week before. Although Collingwood missed the finals, Swan arguably proved to critics that at the age of 31 he is still able to play high-quality football at an elite level. 2016 In the round one clash against Sydney, Swan was badly injured after landing awkwardly on his foot, breaking three bones, including a Lisfranc. The injury ruled him out of the rest of the season, and in August he announced his immediate retirement from the AFL. Statistics A prolific ball-winner, particularly in the latter part of his career, Swan lead the AFL in total disposals on four occasions and total kicks on five occasions. Swan accumulated an average of 26.85 disposals per game during his AFL career, which at the time of his retirement was the second-highest average of all time behind only Greg Williams (26.88 per game).

Apparently, it's what was heard when that fictitious photo was taken! Time to Restump Podcast that performance, ironically a game the Giants metaphorically torched us and scattered our ashes. Was there a mole planted pre-game? I think its just a little too coincidental that a certain someone was a late out from the Giants! Oh who are we kidding... we're reaching in looking for buck-passing reasons! Trying to find a positive out of Saturday is like trying to find a psychologist in WA with available appointments. We thought those dark days were behind us. We thought we'd never revisit them for at least a decade or two, if ever. Maybe it was one last trip round the bend for old times sake. Maybe it was a strategic plan to give this new young group a taste of what we have not only been through over our journey, but could return to again if we don't bring effort each and every week. Maybe Saturday was the wake-up call.The Giants were good. We don't want to take anything away from them because they destroyed us. They're good, they're not a 70 point demolition good. We own most of that defeat… we were that ordinary, the Giants would have beaten witches hats by just 60 points!I'm a stats backed realist and a patient and tolerant person when it comes to Freo. I've been of the opinion we're far from the finished product and that we're 40 to 50 games away from the majority of our current crop being ready. However, age and inexperience have nothing to do with effort and intent and it wasn't age and inexperience that was behind that thumping on Saturday. The entire game was disturbing but the final quarter was damning. There wasn't even any junk time efforts and when you even see Andy Brayshaw half-heartedly attempt to tackle and stop an opponent, that is unprecedented and you know as a whole and in relation to the last few seasons, we're in rare territory. It was by far our worst performance this year, not just because the scoreboard said so. We've been beaten by lesser opponents than the Giants, but not in that manner. And there lies the ever so faint positive, the unsteady brittle rack on which we hang our tattered hat on. Saturday was so uncharacteristic it was initially more drop jaw shocking than it was disappointing. It wasn't on or the beginning of a trend, it was an anomaly, a freak event…. or so we all desperately hope. Let's get into it in further detail on the pod as Jojo and his sharp footy brain will surely have some insight and reasons for such an odd performance. Healing is based on talking so let's start taking and hopefully healing. Join in and let us know your thoughts in a constructive manner… there are no right or wrong opinions after a game like that.Support the show
This two prong Toby attack is no Walker in the park. But with some defensive help from the mids, we've it this covered. Time to Restump Podcast preview the vital clash against the Big Big Sound Giants.At the risk of suffering over confidence we're calling it right off the top here. They've made a mistake not having us as favorites. We don't advise or advocate gambling but the $2.10 is difficult not to raise a keen interest eyebrow at.But we're not here to ogle the odds, we're here to pull apart the team numbers, assess the ins and outs and match ups and look for strengths and weaknesses to exploit. If we want to play finals, this game against the Giants really is a must win. Its there for the taking and if we put up a similar performance against GWS to the one we delivered against Richmond last week, it is difficult to think we won't be banking the four points.GWS get by on their offensive game. They don't have too many issues scoring but neither do their opponents. While both Freo and the Giants go at around 84 points a game on average for the season, we've upped that to 95 points over the last 5 games. And from a defensive standpoint, we were leaking nearly 92 points a game on average for the first half of the season so far. Over the last four or five weeks we've improved it three goals to 74 points, which is bang on 3 goals less than the Giants let through.Oh, but it is the Giants home ground you say? Well that is true but given they've played at the Showgrounds four times this year for a win and three losses… they hardly have home ground supremacy. Having said that, we've only played the ground twice for two losses and one of them a 113 point belting by this Giant's outfit.Don't get me wrong, the Giants definitely aren't easy beats and as Fremantle supporters we don't have the right to use that term or even think that of an opponent. I mean they've got talent on every line. Toby Green obviously, Josh Kelly, Tom Green and Lachie Whitfield are as good as anyone going around. With Jimmy Aish going down it makes it a really big job for our wingers Disco and Henry. But the return of O'Meara provides options as well as strength and versatility in the middle. Beyond that, our pressure applying oriented team system and structure and the above-mentioned numbers put enough tickets in the Bob barrel for mine.Jojo McDonnell is still deck chairing it on the Amalfi coast so were still suffering unacceptable delays. However, his lack of control left the door open for the resurgence of the Neighbourhood Watch. We're about 24 hours out from bounce down so let's get into it.

This isn't a typical Howie Games episode. But, it could be one of the most inspiring yet. This former footballer turned producer, media personality, businessman, son, brother, husband, friend and soon to be father has endured more than most, and he is still bringing positive vibes everywhere he goes. Dylan Buckley is the son of a gun, his Dad Jimmy played in three premierships for the Carlton football club, and he followed in his footsteps. But, after 41 games, and 8 years on an AFL list at both Carlton and Greater Western Sydney, he was forced to forge his own, different path. He was ahead of the curve and has gone on to create his own highly successful podcast and is also the co-founder and director of one of the largest independent media companies in the country, Producey. It hasn't been easy on or off the footy field for a variety of reasons. But as Dylan says, it's not about what happens, it's how you respond to it that counts.

Tom Boyd was just eighteen years old when he was named the number one AFL draft pick of 2013. After briefly playing for Greater Western Sydney he moved back to Melbourne to join the Western Bulldogs. The teenager's contract was worth a record-breaking $7 million. Tom Boyd was instrumental in the Bulldogs premiership of 2016, the team's first in 62 years. Three years later, at 23 years old, Tom made the decision to retire from footy, shocking fans, commentators and everyone who had predicted a long and glittering career. In this conversation Jamila Rizvi & Tom Boyd discuss the pressure and scrutiny that came with Tom's AFL career, including the cycle of severe insomnia, depression and anxiety, plus his insights on what the AFL can do better to help players both on and off the field.

Former high-flying Richmond forward Kayne Pettifer is a special guest on the latest episode of Talking Tigers. Pettifer, who played 113 games and kicked 132 goals for the Tigers from 2001-09, features in the podcast's popular “Where Are You Now?” segment. He talks about his time at Tigerland, recounts the notorious tale of his run-in with ex-coach Terry Wallace, and reveals how Kevin Sheedy tried to lure him to Greater Western Sydney. Also on this week's show, TT dissects Richmond's thumping victory over West Coast last Friday night, names the best wearer of the No. 9 guernsey in Tigerland's history, has news of an exciting, new merchandise opportunity for its large, loyal band of listeners – and “Richo” somehow manages to damage his hamstring in a highly-amusing, on-air incident.
