Winking at Royals & Surviving Cream Pies – with Tony Jones

It’s hump day and Channel Nine’s Tony Jones joins Swanny, Samantha & Ralphy for a Melbourne Cup Week warm-up filled with racing tales, newsroom chaos, and the time he winked at Princess Di. From dodging Queen invites and surviving Eddie’s boardroom roasts to covering turf tantrums and trackside tripods, nothing’s off-limits. We talk Lou Richards memories, Mick Malthouse blow-ups, and why Billy Slater on horseback nearly stole the show. If you like your sports media with a side of scandal and a dash of self-deprecating truth, this one’s for you.

From Williamstown premiership glory to managing Freo's list and fielding firestorms at Carlton, Brad Lloyd joins Swanny, Samantha & Ralph to unpack his unique journey through footy’s many layers. Hear the stories behind Nat Fyfe’s draft rise, Lockie Neale’s late steal, and what it's like giving a pre-game speech with Nathan Buckley in the room. There's also a little Thailand mugging, a lot of Ned C culture, and a reminder that not every media scrum goes to plan. It’s honest, sharp and full of footy gold.
