265 - AFL
April 29, 2021 00:15 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBWe welcome back our old mate Craig aka Swansational to talk about the young gun Swans and the rest of the AFL landscape. The Bulldogs and Demons are absolutely flying. Both teams are stacked and balanced. And look to be the popular pick for the Grand Final. Port Adelaide continue to impress. And what is going on at Collingwood? Plus there's been some major injuries in the AFL this week. Then we finish up with some Supercoach talk for those trying to navigate injuries to your teams. This ...
264 - NRL
April 28, 2021 23:58 - 58 minutes - 31.1 MBPies is back from HIA and joins The Producer. This week we've changed up the format. Just 1 hour of NRL for this episode. Balls to the wall Rugby League and nothing else. The top 5 are starting to gap the rest of the field with the Dragons the only consistent chasers. But can Manly be the next best with the return of Turbo? The Bulldogs had a gutsy win and the Raiders are really struggling. Let us know what you think of the split episodes. 0:00:00 - NRL Part of the No Phony Podcast...

262 - NRL, AFL, EPL, Motorsport, Questions
April 14, 2021 12:52 - 1 hour - 48.8 MBPies and The Producer back in the studio after BS went to the Easter Show and Pies jacked up a heap of threes at Basketball on Monday night. In the NRL the Broncos continue to be embarrassed, the Panthers keep winning. The Dragons keep winning and The Producer goes on a fair ref rant regarding the Dragons winning tactics. Plus the Bulldogs finally scored some points. Just a shame the Storm scored heaps more. The Swans kept up their winning ways, Port beat Richmond in a possible Grand Fin...
261 - NRL, AFL, Soccer, Cricket
April 07, 2021 13:09 - 1 hour - 50.6 MBPies has turned over a new leaf, Mrs Pies is angry, and The Producer is fired up. In the NRL there's some really good teams, some teams who may or may not be fake good and then there's a few who are well off the pace. Is buying one more high priced player the answer? In the AFL the Lions snatched one after the siren, the Swans continued their winning ways with a demolition of the reigning premiers Tigers. The Western Bulldogs look sensational. And the Giants are busted up after a tough l...
260 - NRL, AFL, F1, Other Sport
March 31, 2021 22:35 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBPies was away all weekend so we brought in Maybo to make it a three way with The Producer. In the NRL the Panthers and Eels have started like they did in 2020. What can stop this Western Sydney NRL juggernaut? The Roosters are in an injury crisis and Manly are just terrible. Also the Broncos are above the Storm on the ladder. Should they be favourites this week? In the AFL Western Bulldogs and West Coast Eagles played a great game. The Swans kids have started the season on fire. Brisbane...
259 - NRL, AFL, EPL, Motorsport, Golden Slipper, Cricket, Rugby
March 25, 2021 12:51 - 1 hour - 30.2 MBMaybo joins The Producer in this episode after Pies failed his HIA test after poor tipping last week. NRL was mostly played in wet conditions and saw Parramatta get a big win against the Storm. Maybo's Broncos were handed another defeat. Head knocks and how Sin Bin should be used are still issues the game needs to fix. Supercoach is back for the NRL. Round 1 of the season starts this week in the Bats and Balls Cup & Bats and Balls Mug competition. The Producer runs through the games and ma...
258 - NRL, AFL, Soccer, Supercars, Horse Racing, NBA
March 17, 2021 23:03 - 1 hour - 48.7 MBPies is back alongside The Producer BS to recap the first week of the NRL season. The Roosters pumped Manly, Melbourne exploded on the season with a flurry against Souths and Penrith cruised against a gutsy North Queensland. And there were a couple of stinkers also. The AFL bounces up this week. Pies has a couple of surprise finalists in his preview. Manchester City are flying the EPL. While Brighton are staying just ahead of the relegation zone. But the hottest team in English football ...
257 - NRL 2021 Season Preview
March 10, 2021 22:35 - 1 hour - 51.9 MBPies has suffered a training setback and will miss the last hit out before the season starts. In his place is the super sub Maybo. The Producer is also on deck. With the help of a few friends of the podcast we cast an eye over every NRL team for season 2021. Each team segment is time stamped in the show description so you can skip straight to your team if you like. Thanks to Maybo, Hammer, Erik, and Lobby & Pedro from League by the Fireplace for having a chat about your teams. 0:15:00 ...
256 - Cricket, EPL, Supercars, Questions
March 04, 2021 12:51 - 1 hour - 52.9 MBPies and BS in the studio to discuss another week of sport. India prepared a spinner's paradise for the 3rd test which was over on Day 2. The Producer is not happy about it. Brighton copped one of the howlers of the season and proceeded to miss 2 penalties in a shocking loss to West Brom. SVG kicked off the Supercars season in style at Bathurst. And we answer all your questions and have a chat about Supercoach NRL & AFL. 0:00:00 - Cricket 0:30:00 - EPL 0:37:00 - Supercars 0:42:0...
255 - Cricket, NFL, Soccer, NBA
February 17, 2021 23:10 - 1 hour - 41.6 MBAustralia aren't touring South Africa but we do have India vs England and Bangladesh vs West Indies to talk about. Test cricket might be on the way back to relevance. Tampa Bay Bucaneers dominated Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV. The Chiefs couldn't keep the Bucs away from Mahomes and he was running for his life most of the game. On the other side of the ball, Brady was measured and protected the ball. And he also hit Gronk for two TDs. In soccer Manchester City are almost home in th...
254 - Cricket, NFL Super Bowl LV, EPL, NBA, NRL
February 03, 2021 21:23 - 2 hours - 71.7 MBWe've sat Mendy out for another 12 weeks for a bit of cap relief so it's just Pies and The Producer in the studio. Australia have cancelled the tour of South Africa due to the threat of the coronairus. The Aussies were concerned about the South African strain of COVID-19 and have pulled the pin. A shame for world cricket, but as a result New Zealand are through to the World Championship Final. In the BBL Brisbane Heat are in form leading into the Challenger Final against Perth Scorchers. A...
253 - Cricket, NFL, Soccer, Basketball
January 20, 2021 12:59 - 1 hour - 97.7 MBWe're back for another year of Bats and Balls Podcast. Pies and BS in the studio a day after India pulled off one of the great run chases in test cricket history. We dissect the Australian failures and try to find a solution. While Pies is a little more positive about how India played against the odds and came out on top. The NFL Playoffs are down to the Championship games. Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs. Can Tom Brady keep the fairytale...
2021 Return
January 04, 2021 11:57 - 1 minute - 2.59 MBThanks to Covid-19 2020 was a terrible year. Even though we were in the middle of a global pandemic, we managed to carry on with sports.

Lament what might have been after those early rounds of the Super Rugby and look toward a brighter future for Australian Rugby. Shaun McMeeken joins us for the first time. Shaun is a Carlton Blues fan, which makes two in a month. We ta...
251 - Darts, Surfing, Motorsport, Olympics, Cricket, NFL, Soccer
December 10, 2020 00:23 - 1 hour - 39.1 MBMendy joins Pies and The Producer in studio. We haven't talked darts in a while so it's back. Who are the best going around at the moment? Is there a dearth of talent at the top? Plus Mendy has been keeping up to date with the surfing from Hawaii and is poised to tackle the Dakar Rally. The Olympic Games have included Break Dancing to the schedule for Paris 2028. And Pies is not happy. The Wallabies had another draw with Argentina. In the cricket, Australia and India split the 6 limite...
250 - Cricket, NFL, EPL, NBA, Motorsport
December 03, 2020 21:45 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBPies and The Producer are in studio to talk about the week in sport. In Cricket, Australia won the first two ODI vs India putting on huge scores that the Indians couldn't run down. Then in the third game in Canberra, India passed 300 and Australia fell just short. Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell have been in some pretty hot form with the bat, and for India Hardik Pandya is in career best ODI form. In the WBBL Sydney Thunder came from third to claim the title after restricting Brisbane Heat...
249 - Rugby, State of Origin, NFL, EPL, Cricket, Lawn Bowls, Travel
November 26, 2020 03:10 - 1 hour - 44.2 MBPies and The Producer in studio this week with a couple of calls via mobile telephone. Swainy kicks off the show with Rugby. Swainy was the caller for the epic Argentina win over the All Blacks. Plus we recap the Wallabies draw with the Pumas. And we look ahead to an exciting last two weeks of the Tri Nations. Then we recap a disappointing State of Origin series for NSW. Freddy Fittler was clearly outcoached by Wayne Bennett. But does it run deeper than that? Is Cleary the half to lead t...
248 - State of Origin, NFL, EPL, Horse Racing, Rugby, AFL, Cricket
November 11, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 54.1 MBAfter a double Grand Final weekend, there's always a let down. And no amount of rep Rugby League can get us out of it. In any case Pies and The Producer are back with a special call in from Swainy to discuss game 1 of the State of Origin, recap the Melbourne Cup and the rest of the Spring Carnival and the last two Bledisloe Cup games. Plus heaps more including the AFL Trade Period, the upcoming cricket season, NFL and EPL. 0:00:00 - State of Origin 0:41:00 - NFL 0:46:00 - EPL 0:50:0...
247 - NRL GF, AFL GF, USAFL, Other Sport
October 28, 2020 21:37 - 2 hours - 71.4 MBPies and the Producer are joined by a very special guest Astro. He's taken NRL Twitter by storm this year. Alienating Broncos and Eels fans and joining in the conversation in a big way. We recap the NRL Grand Final in which Melbourne were far too good for Penrith and the AFL Grand Final in which Geelong led early but Richmond came out on top, going away in the final quarter. We also talk hoops and dive into the world of the USAFL, Australian Rules played in the USA. It was a growth sport...
246 - NRL GF, AFL GF, Rugby, MLB WS, Bathurst 1000, Horse Racing
October 20, 2020 00:56 - 1 hour - 47.4 MBPies and The Producer in studio with a bumper, but yet streamlined show. We've been out of action for a couple of weeks after The Producer had a COVID-19 scare. In reality, he had one too many trips to Guzman y Gomez. We catch up on the eliminated NRL teams. Where did it go wrong for the Eels, Raiders and Rabbitohs. And why do the Roosters continue to be such a shit club? Then we preview the NRL Grand Final and pick a winner between the Panthers and Storm. The AFL has been barely watchab...
245 - NRL Finals, AFL Finals, NFL, EPL, NBA Finals
October 01, 2020 10:49 - 2 hours - 64.3 MBThe great man Macho Man, coach of the DWS Fleshpuppets is in studio for the first time. You might remember him from his innuendo laden Supercoach rants. But the Fleshpuppet is so much more. He's also a mad Raiders fan. And he is hoping for a fairytale revenge for the 1991 Grand Final loss to Penrith. Also joining us is Hunter. Wearing his 1991 Dah Dah Uniforms Retro jersey for good measure. We recap the last round of the NRL before tipping the first week of NRL Finals. We gaze into the...
244 Part 2 - NRL, Supercoach, Rugby, AFL, EPL
September 25, 2020 05:42 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBMaybo is back in the studio as we cover our core sports in Part 2 of Episode 244. First up and the Panthers continue to roll on.

Major League Baseball is close to the playoff stage. Erik breaks down the structure of the playoffs and where the series will be played. We've got California Bubbles and Texas Bubbles. And a surprise host of the World Series. Australia concluded the T20 & ODI tour of England winning the ODI series 2-1 after going down 1-2 in the T20 match...
243 - Rugby, NRL, AFL, F1, Supercars, NBA
September 07, 2020 23:08 - 2 hours - 60.8 MBWe're back for another week of sporting action and after the weekend of Rugby we had to give Swainy top billing. Melbourne Rebels clinched their first Super Rugby AU finals appearance with a last gasp try against the brave Western Force. That was followed by a ball tearer of a contest and another last ditch try in the New Zealand North vs South Game. In the NRL Penrith extended their winning streak to 12 with victory over the Broncos. SBW returned to the Roosters and in Pies opinion, they ...
242 - Fishing, NRL, Rugby, AFL, Motorsport, Extras
September 03, 2020 05:48 - 2 hours - 73.9 MBPies and The Producer are back and ready to tackle another week of sport. Pies was away all weekend so much like QLD in the AFL, BS has to the bulk of the heavy lifting this week. Pies recounts his experience at the Yak Hunters Kayak Fishing Series Round 3 at Woy Woy. Then we're into the NRL recap and tips. Penrith continue to fire. While the Parramatta bubble has well and truly burst. Can they even beat the Warriors without George Jennings and Daniel Alvaro? Swainy is back as we near th...
241 - NRL, AFL, Other Sports
August 27, 2020 00:10 - 3 hours - 87.6 MBWe're back after a long hiatus and have heaps of NRL to cover. We recap the last round of NRL and tip this week's games. And then we have a look at each team's run to the Finals. Can Penrith maintain their form? Can the Roosters stay in the Top 4? Is the Top 8 set? Then we answer a few more pressing NRL questions. We have a look at the Bats and Balls Cup Supercoach League with one round remaining, 10 teams can still win it. Then we have a quick look at the AFL and tip this week's g...

July 30, 2020 10:30 - 2 hours - 70.3 MBPies is back in the studio and we're joined by Sydney's favourite Broncos fan Maybo. The man behind the famous Reed it and Weep banner. We talk all things NRL including the Roosters impending SBW signing. The difference between Wayne Bennett and Ricky Stuart. And where the Broncos go to from here. Plus the AFL is about to embark on wall to wall games for the next three weeks. Who will emerge on top? Does Brodie Grundy need a rest? Maybo isn't only a mad Broncos fan. His heart also belo...

July 23, 2020 13:29 - 2 hours - 64.4 MBMendy is back on the show which means heaps of variety from the sporting world. The Producer is in studio to bring you all the action.

July 15, 2020 09:32 - 2 hours - 70.6 MBOur old mate Hunter is back from the UK to grace us with his presence. This podcast needed an injection of another footy team and Hunter's Panthers could be just the trick to balance the show out. On this week's show we cover all the latest from the NRL including the Panthers blow out of Scomo's beloved Cronulla Sharks. Swainy is back to talk all things Super Rugby. In the AFL are Port Adelaide the real deal? And could the Brisbane or GWS bubble burst? Plus we talk English Premier Le...

July 08, 2020 08:31 - 1 hour - 44.1 MBColbee is filling in with The Producer for the sick Pies. Pies is publishing this without listening to the show. Who knows what stitch ups the boys have lined up. Apparently there's NRL talk including send off and sin bins. Also AFL, tips at the end of the show, Rugby, English Premier League, Formula 1 and more! 0:00:00 - NRL & Tipping 0:59:00 - Supercoach 1:04:00 - AFL 1:11:00 - Rugby 1:13:00 - Soccer 1:18:00 - F1 1:22:00 - Other Sports Part of the No Phony Podcast Network n...

Then we welcome first time guests to the show Sher and Lil. They are Canadian Rugby League fans, season ticket holders at the Toronto Wolfpack and are spreading the word of Rugby League around North America. Our old mate Swainy is back! Rugby is back! And we couldn't be happier. Super Rugby AU kicks off this weekend with a QLD Reds vs NSW Waratahs blockbuster. Catch all of the act...
235 - NRL, Supercoach, AFL, EPL
June 25, 2020 07:37 - 2 hours - 74.3 MBPies and The Producer were getting a bit too cocky so we invited Lobby from League by the Fireplace under the false pretence that he could pour cold water on the Eels start to the 2020 season. But 14 point losses don't come much better than that Roosters game. And the Raiders couldn't beat Manly with their 2 best players injured. Anything could happen this week. In other news, the Roosters are clearly the benchmark. Penrith continue their good form. And Mary has flummed his way onto a winn...
234 - NRL, AFL, Motorsport
June 18, 2020 03:57 - 1 hour - 49.1 MBPies is off sick so The Producer is joined in studio by the Supercoach himself Colbee. It looks like the Colbinators used an entire jar of vaseline on their knees this week as they pulverised Producers in Supercoach. The boys catch up on all the latest NRL and AFL news. And Colbee has some information on the Eastern Creek Speedway track, a new Motorcross track near Luddenham and inside info on Camaros replacing Holden in the Supercars. 0:00:00 - NRL & Tipping 0:58:20 - Supercoach 1:09:...
233 - NRL, AFL, NBA, NFL, Soccer
June 11, 2020 06:28 - 2 hours - 69.9 MBThe Producer and Pies in studio with Erik on the phone are back for another episode of Bats and Balls. In the NRL the Roosters put the cleaners through the Broncos, the Knights and Panthers franked the form of their draw and the Eels may or may not have gotten away with one over Manly. Refereeing gets a small once over, but on the whole they've been pretty good after two rounds back from the enforced layoff. BS is up to 7th overall in ESPN FootyTips. Can the juggernaut roll on? Can any...
232 - NRL, Supercoach, Listener Questions, Other Sport
June 03, 2020 08:34 - 3 hours - 85.9 MBPies, Erik and The Producer are back to recap the return of the NRL. The Eels and Sea Eagles look good and have very few injuries. The Raiders look like premiership favourites after a third straight win in Melbourne. And the Red V goes from bad to worse with a shutout against the Warriors. Pies Supercoach team The Lone Rangers is flying topping the league this week with 1212 points. While in the Tipping Comp, you might as well give up now as Brendan has tipped 22.5 of the 24 games to be ...
231 - NRL Returns, Other Sports
May 27, 2020 16:45 - 3 hours - 96.2 MBPies is back in studio for the first time in months. Erik is still on the line via mobile telephone. The NRL is back and the rest of the sporting world are looking on in wonder at the magnificent leader of men Peter V'Landys and what he has accomplished in such a short time. Alternatively, Australia is doing so well, anyone would have had Rugby League back by now. Pies is locked in on Parramatta premiership glory, meanwhile The Producer is a little more reserved in his enthusiasm. Plus w...
230 - 1983 Year in Review
May 08, 2020 13:56 - 2 hours - 71.2 MBThe Producer chose 1983 and it was a huge year for Australian sport. Locally and abroad. It all came to a head in September when in the space of three days newly appointed Prime Minister Bob Hawke attended the VFL Grand Final at the MCG, NSWRL Grand Final at the SCG and the America's Cup in Fremantle. Parramatta were way too good in the NSWRL Grand Final despite the marketing from Tooheys in 1984. In the VFL Grand Final Hawthorn hammered Essendon despite North Melbourne being the 1983 ...
229 - 2000 Year in Review
April 30, 2020 23:33 - 2 hours - 74.7 MBWe brought out the big guns this week. It was Pies' choice to remember the year 2000. Before we get into the year in review we kick off by taking a look at the current state of play. The NRL title was taken out by the Broncos. Lote Tuqiri and Wendell Sailor were the wingers and Luke Phillips played a blinder in a losing GF side. Essendon were one of the best sides to ever play AFL. They won 21 of 22 during the home and away season and romped through the Finals to win the flag. But th...
228 - 2005 Year in Review
April 24, 2020 01:05 - 2 hours - 80.5 MBIt was Erik's choice this week and not surprisingly he chose 2005. In the NRL Parramatta won the minor premiership, but Wests Tigers won the title and Benji Marshall became the most replayed player in NRL history. In the AFL Sydney Swans beat West Coast in the first of two epic Grand Finals. But it took some Nick Davis magic two weeks earlier for the Swans to even make the big one. England regained The Ashes and consigned Australia to 15 years of searching for the all-rounder to match ...
227 - NRL in 2020 and Beyond
April 13, 2020 22:54 - 2 hours - 82.8 MBErik, The Producer and Pies are back with a slightly different show this week. We tackle the NRL from a current perspective of getting the games back on. And then we come up with some solutions to problems that exist or otherwise. COVID-19 has Australia and the various states in virtual lockdown. Since Coronavirus first hit our shores, there's been no sport played around the country. We examine Peter V'Landys' timeframe of a 28 May return and Pies has a solution that can get the footy back...
226 - 1996 Year in Review
April 11, 2020 01:16 - 1 hour - 43.5 MBPies, Erik and The Producer are back to review 1996. Manly beat St George in the ARL Grand Final after one of the bigger blunders in GF history. Dragons fans will tell you it was the turning point. But did they really look like threatening Manly coming from 7th against the minor premiers? Sydney Swans gathered huge momentum in the AFL. Tony Lockett won the Coleman medal and the Swans made the Grand Final, ultimately losing to North Melbourne. Sri Lanka won the Cricket World Cup hosted ...
225 - 2003 Year in Review
April 02, 2020 22:55 - 1 hour - 52 MBNow that sport is on hold globally, we have decided to review years in sport. First year on the block is 2003. Resident historian Erik Nielsen is back with The Producer and Pies to rediscover some of the gems from 2003. Penrith Panthers won the 2003 NRL Premiership defeating the Sydney Roosters in the Grand Final. Brisbane Lions defeated Collingwood Magpies in the AFL Grand Final to complete their Back to Back to Back. And Ricky Ponting made mountains of runs in test cricket and one ...
224 - Sports Lockdown, NRL, AFL, Soccer, Covid-19, The Future
March 28, 2020 23:00 - 2 hours - 63.1 MBThe coronavirus has shut down all major sports. Pies and The Producer are in isolation. But thanks to the wonders of the NBN, we're still pumping out shows. We recap the first two weeks of the NRL. Celebrate the Eels being on top for at least the next two months and probably longer. The AFL only managed to play one round in front of no fans before shutting down. Richmond and the Giants looked good. Port Adelaide lead on percentage going into hibernation. We touch on the A-League, EPL a...
223 - NRL Season Preview, Cricket, Motorsport
March 11, 2020 05:32 - 2 hours - 91.9 MBIt's the 2020 NRL Season Preview show. Pies and BS in studio to discuss each team in the NRL. How they line up for week 1. We pick our Top 8's including a very controversial non-selection. Then tell you why Parramatta will win it all. And we discuss NRL Supercoach. First up we recap the ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Australia smashed India in the Final. Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney were on fire and the Aussie bowlers strangled India out of it. And we finish off with a bit of Motorsport. For...

February 27, 2020 05:30 - 1 hour - 37.6 MBPies and The Producer in the studio for a last short sharp episode before the footy seasons kick off in a few weeks. Swainy is on the line to catch up with all the Rugby news. The Brumbies are on a roll after a big win in New Zealand. We discuss Swainy's efforts on the Fox Rugby Podcast and try to predict the fate of the Sunwolves season. How SANZAAR deal with coronavirus in Japan and the threat to players and officials as well as broadcasters may be a pointer to the biggest sporting event...

February 13, 2020 04:20 - 1 hour - 47.6 MBPies and The Producer are back with a late recap of Super Bowl LIV. The Chiefs were too potent for the 49ers to handle. The Summer of cricket wrapped up this week with David Warner winning the AB Medal. There's been debate and outrage over Warner's victory. But perhaps it was just a really good year for Australian cricket. Super Rugby and the World Rugby 7's have kicked off. And the TV rights are up in the air. Our mate Swainy has filled in on the Fox Rugby Podcast. Check him out there. ...

Welcome back to our long time listeners and if you're new to our audience we hope you enjoy the show. After holiday pleasantries we're back into it with a recap of how much Australia pumped New Zealand in the Test Series. It turns out they aren't that good on big boy grounds eh?
