Podcast appearances and mentions of Sydney Swans

Talent gets you through the door. It does not keep you in the room, and it has almost nothing to do with what you become.Kieren Jack is proof. The last pick in the AFL rookie draft, too small and too slow on paper, he outworked every reason he should not have made it. Kieren played 256 games for the Sydney Swans, co-captained the club, won the 2012 premiership and earned a place in its Hall of Fame. Then he did the harder thing. He walked away at the top and started again, building a whole new career in business where his name meant nothing.What carries across is the useful part. How do you keep performing when you are running on empty? What actually holds a team together when pressure hits? Why do the people who get knocked down and underestimated often end up the most dangerous?Recorded live, in a room that was never meant to be a podcast. No script, no second takes.

It was the teams' annual Pride match, in which the players would wear rainbow jerseys and celebrate diversity, the aim being to boost inclusivity for LGBTQ fans.

Sydney opted to play the game against a different side, at a different time.

On episode 232 I am joined by Bernard Jackman, a former professional rugby player, coach, and now a performance consultant, guest speaker and respected voice in Irish sport. Bernard is a former pro Rugby player who played for Connacht, Leinster, Sale Sharks and an Irish international. He has been head coach in FC Grenoble, France and at the Dragons in Wales. Bernard is one of only a small number of Irish rugby players to have won a Six Nations, European Cup, Challenge Cup and a Magners League Medal.Since retiring from professional rugby he has moved into coaching and high-performance leadership. Bernard has built a diverse career across coaching, media, athlete development and performance consultancy, working with teams and organisations both within and beyond rugby. His work has also extended into other sporting environments, including collaborations with Horse Sport Ireland and involvement around the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Jackman grew up on the Wicklow/Carlow border he grew up on a cattle farm which led to a different path to elite sport. We discuss how this affected his career and upbringing. Bernard shares his advice to parents with children on the elite sporting pathway and also offered insights to current athletes on developing their professional development and working during their sporting career. A major part of Bernard's professional development came through his master's research, where he travelled across the world studying some of the leading high-performance teams and organisations in sport including Manchester United, Dyson, Sydney Swans, Toyota, Melbourne Storm, Just Eat and more. Through visiting elite environments and learning directly from coaches, athletes and performance leaders, he gained valuable insight into the habits, cultures and systems that underpin sustained success at the highest level.In this episode, we discuss Bernard's journey through professional sport, working with Enda NcNulty, learning from Alex Ferguson, Brian O'Driscoll and Jonny Sexton, his approach to retirement, transitioning into coaching, high-performance environments, and the lessons he has taken from working across multiple sports. The conversation also explores performance, elite sport, and what high performance really looks like behind the scenes in sport & business.Find Bernard here https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernardjackmanFollow The Sideline Live Social Media channels and the host Orla here: https://linktr.ee/TheSidelineLiveRecorded using Samson Q2 microphone, Edited using GarageBandIntro music, Watered Eyes by a talented Irish artist, Dillon Ward check him out ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ .

Dave Misson has spent a career where most people would never know his name, and that's exactly the point. High performance manager across Tennis Australia, Australian Cricket, the Sydney Swans, St Kilda and Melbourne Football Clubs, Dave has been in the room for premierships, World Cups and some of the most powerful cultural moments in Australian sport.He steps into the arena with a mantra given to him over dinner in Mount Gambier by his mentor Ken Richardson: it's never about you.We go deep on the Bloods culture at the Swans, on mechanics and dynamics, on what it means to unlock performance rather than extract it, and on why the most powerful words in any team are simply — you belong here.This is a conversation for any leader who wants to understand what high performance actually looks like when ego leaves the room.

In one of the biggest episodes of Sportscafe Australia, we sit down with Sydney Roosters star Angus Crichton and Sydney Swans midfielder Chad Warner for a blockbuster conversation covering both codes. Angus opens up about his final season as a Rooster - eight years, 150+ games, and the emotional reality of knowing the end is coming. He gets candid about his upcoming code switch to rugby union, why the Wallabies dream has never left him, and what it feels like to become a dad during the biggest transition of his career. Chad Warner joins fresh off Swans training to talk about Sydney's red-hot 2026 season, what makes the Swans culture different from any other club in the competition, and Sydney Sweeney visiting the locker rooms. We also settle the NRL vs AFL debate once and for all - who actually runs more, who works harder, and which code demands more from its athletes.

The Giant OGs once THRIVED off lightning at the Beanstalk. In fact, it was under immense atmospheric electrical disturbance back in 2014 that we FLOGGED the Swannies, recording our first ever win against our arch rival. Remember when Cogs was good? He had a day. The headline read: "The GIANTS survived thunder, lightning and a rare rain delay to pull off the greatest victory in its short history, stunning the Sydney Swans by 32 points at Spotless Stadium."Fast forward to 2026, and THIS MOB(!!!)—well, they musn't have read the script. For the first three quarters against the Saints WE WERE ASLEEP, WOEFUL, still in bed trying to figure out the day's Wordle.Ragnar and Orca have a bit to say on this, so tune in and see if we can make sense of this madness...Bring on the Pies, stay positive, and remember: Never Surrender----To get in contact, drop an email, comment on Spotify or message on X.We love reviews or ratings.Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠thesquinterspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: NeverSurrenderByTheSquintersX: The SquintersInstagram: gws_squintersFB: thesquintersTikTok: the.squinters

Okay so it seems that episode 148 hasn't actually gone up yet. So I will do that later. Yes, 148 goes before 149 but we are post modern and cool like that. And hey, now you can liten to episode 148 and know HKJ is wrong instead of wondering if he will be wrong. Hindsight is 20/20 indeed. This AI slop is brought to you by Copilot 'premium' which is the one that makes the talky guns and tracky cameras. Episode summaryA non‑news episode that examines personal media habits, the shifting political spectrum (using the ABC Vote Compass), the economics of modern journalism, social platforms and the disruptive risks and benefits of AI — plus a run through books, magazines, streamers and sport. The hosts compare how they start the day, which outlets they trust, and how AI is already changing creative and legal work. Key theme: media survival depends on business models, editorial craft and sensible regulation of new technologies.“Well, g'day listeners and welcome once again to the Two Jacks. We've got a slightly different program today for you. We're not going to cover the news. We're going to cover media and who we like in it and and the pressures that are on media at the moment, where that all might lead to, the role of social media, AI, et cetera.”.Show notes with timestamps (all timestamps shifted +25 seconds to allow for theme music)- 00:00:25 — Intro & episode focus — Hosts set out the plan: a media‑focused episode rather than the usual news rundown.- 00:01:47 — Political identity & background — Hong Kong Jack describes his political journey (centre‑left, former Socialist Left faction).- 00:03:38 — On the “well‑trodden path” — Discussion of how political views used to shift with age and why that pattern is changing for younger voters.- 00:06:54 — ABC Vote Compass exercise — Jack completes the Vote Compass and they discuss how algorithms and question framing shape results.- 00:21:08 — Vote Compass results & interpretation — Jack's alignment scores (e.g., 75% with Coalition, 54% with Labor, 20% with Greens) and the hosts' take on what that means.- 00:27:13 — Daily media routines — What each host reads and listens to first thing (newspapers, RN, X/Twitter scans, US/UK outlets). Practical notes on tabloids vs broadsheets for breaking local news.- 00:39:32 — Opinion vs reporting — How to spot news reporting vs opinion pages and why craftful writing (examples: Marina Hyde, Andrew Sullivan) matters.- 01:03:35 — Magazines & books — Short detour on the decline of magazines, favourite authors (PG Wodehouse, Ian Rankin, Patrick Radden Keefe).- 01:03:35 — Streamers & sport viewing — How the hosts manage subscriptions, Foxtel/streamer fatigue and watching AFL/NRL.- 00:50:45 — AI: opportunities and risks — Start of the AI segment: research uses, creative pitfalls, and legal/compliance concerns.- 00:56:21 — ByteDance / C‑Dance & IP concerns — Discussion of AI‑generated video, likeness rights and the potential for major intellectual‑property disputes.- 01:01:46 — Regulation debate — Should AI be regulated now or allowed to evolve? The hosts weigh the tradeoffs and recall missed regulatory opportunities with social media.- 01:13:03 — Sport roundup — AFL, NRL and international sport highlights and controversies (Sydney Swans commemoration, fixture fairness, early season form).- 01:29:08 — Wrap & final thoughts — Media matters; paying for quality journalism and the need to balance innovation with safeguards.Key takeaways- Media habits shape perception — where you start your day (tabloid, broadsheet, radio, X) affects what you notice and how you interpret events.- Quality writing still matters — craft, clarity and wit keep readers engaged and build trust.- AI is a double‑edged sword — powerful for research and diagnostics, risky for copyright, fabrication and legal accuracy; human verification remains essential.- Business model = survival — subscriptions and reliable revenue streams determine whether outlets can afford deep reporting.

The overreactions are in, the ladder is moving, and the winter grind is officially here—welcome to Round 2 of the 2026 AFL Season! The Kick to Kick Podcast is back to find the soul of this week's matchups by obsessing over the past. We're stripping away the modern gloss to revisit the mud, the heritage, and the first sparks of these legendary rivalries. This week, we're breaking down: St Kilda vs. Geelong: We return to Round 10, 1897, for the very first VFL-era clash between these teams. It was a gritty, low-scoring affair at Corio Oval that established Geelong's early dominance over the developing Saints. Adelaide Crows vs. Brisbane Lions: We revisit Round 5, 1997, a season where both clubs were defining their modern identities. It was a tactical masterclass by Malcolm Blight's Crows against a newly merged Lions outfit still finding its roar.
