It’s Preliminary Final week, so Barkly Street has called in the big guns - a man who knows what it’s like to own the big stage in a huge final.

Those with short memories will know the impact Tory Dickson had in the entire 2016 Finals Series, but his four-goal performance in the Preliminary Final is stuff of legend.

Bob and Woody welcome ‘Dicko’ on zoom to chat about his memories of that win over GWS, including his negating role on Heath Shaw and Easton’s outrageous high-flying grab.

Dickson also outlines what life is like a year on from his AFL retirement, including his investment portfolio, looking after his young son and being as passionate as ever when he’s watching the red, white and blue.

Also on this week’s episode, Easton and Bob talk about the future of the Barkly Street hosts’ chairs after the news of Bob’s defection to Fremantle, how ‘Laverne and Shirley’ stood up to the pressure of chasing Charlie Cameron around last week, and how big of a loss Cody Weightman is to the team.

Rohan Smith played 12 finals for the red, white and blue, so what better guest for Bob and Woody to chat to in this Semi Final edition of the Barkly Street podcast.

After a few technical difficulties, ‘Bubba’ zooms in from his room in the Bulldogs’ Launceston accommodation complex to chat about the Dogs’ finals win over Essendon last week, the power of Bevo’s pre-game speech, his passion and emption as the Club’s defensive coach, preparing for the clash against the Lions, and Bailey Dale’s incredible season.

He also answers Barkly Street’s ‘stock’ player profile questions, including the real reason Archie Salek calls him ‘RS’.

Woody also gives Bob a guided tour of his Bulldogs’ quarantine digs and protocols the travelling party are living with, the impressive form of Tom Liberatore, and the internal four-tiered system for rating the performance of on-field smothers.

It’s finals time on Barkly Street, and Bob and Woody are on hand to chat about the Dogs’ huge Elimination Final clash on Sunday.

The boys discuss how the players are planning to bounce back from last week’s heartbreaking loss to Port Adelaide, playing a final in Tasmania, the travelling party’s latest quest to go for glory away from Victoria, and much more.

The long-awaited appearance of Archie Salek also finally comes to fruition on this week's show, with the Club icon joining the lads to discuss his long and storied association with the Bulldogs, and importantly just how all those player nicknames came about.

One of the greatest Bulldogs of all – 364-game red, white and blue legend Brad Johnson – is the prized special guest on the Barkly Street podcast this week.

 

The ‘Smiling Assassin’ is just the tonic for Bulldogs fans this week, many of which are in Victorian lockdowns while the Club prepares for a huge Friday night clash with Port Adelaide at Marvel Stadium.

 

Johnson joins the zoom call with regular co-hosts Bob Murphy and Easton Wood to discuss these topics and more:


Why he got the nickname ‘Brandon Johansson’ in his playing days.
What it’s like bumping into old team-mates nowadays.
His ongoing passion for the Bulldogs and his assessment of the season so far.
The backstory to Ella J’s ‘The Bont’ song.
Creating Zena Sport, the company behind the impact protection garments worn by female athletes across a number of sports.
Why Archie Salek shouted ‘Scotch and Coke!’ when he took set shots at training.

 

Woody and Bob also cover off last week’s loss to the Hawks, the hard quarantine living arrangements imposed on players and staff this week, an update on Easton’s fat lip, a nod to the careers of Eddie Betts and Jarrod Harbrow, and this week’s match dedicated to Lifeline Australia.
