On the Ruck 'n Roll menu this week a smorgasbord of tasty topics. There's cricket of all levels, from the elite in Pakistan to the headbutter in Gippsland. Football is served up in all flavours - AFL, NRL, and EPL. Musically Kylie tops the chart du jour from March 20, 1988 but does she make anyone's good or bad list? It is an all you can stomach episode (as it always is). Ruck ON!!

Ruck 'n Roll

What do you get when World of Sport meets Countdown. You get Ruck 'n Roll.  You get longtime radio DJ Kevin Hillier, sports nut and broadcaster Mark Fine, music nut and broadcaster Ken Francis plus lawyer and raconteur Stephen J Peak and you have an unusual mix. But the four of them have many things in common - their love of sport, their love of music and their love of chatting about that and more. Put them in a studio together and the mix is electric.

We are only two rounds into the AFL season, but the tension is palpable, the emotions are stirring, the loins are being girded and the goats are being scaped. Footy tipping really is serious business, isn't it? 

In unrelated news, the Patron Saint of Losing Thoroughbreds Stephen J Peak has had a life changing experience, so too our resident social butterfly Ken Francis, who has been gigging in Frankston and lived to tell the tale.     

Musically, our fab four dissect John Lennon's non Beatles music and it is a rollercoaster from Cold Turkey to Beautiful Boy with a dash of Instant Karma and Oh Yoko thrown in. 

It's an episode so chunky you could carve it.

We All Shine On. 

Finey had a better offer, so it is the gleesome threesome discussing the events of the week. And what a week, with footy, Formula One and cricket providing plenty to slice and dice. Despite that, SJP gets in a tizz over an AFL player's jewellery and players not wearing gloves. No-one said it had to make sense and it rarely does. 

Musically, it is a trip back to January 1966 for the 3UZ Official Top 40 with The Carnival is Over by the Seekers in the Number One spot. What a treasure trove of memories. Will it be Good News Week? Lies? Or Que Sera Sera? Maybe The Sounds of Silence would be more appropriate!  

For those about to Ruck, we salute you ...

Have You Heard The News?

After a summer of twirling our seventies cricketing moustaches and enthusiastically rubbing a red ball in our groin area, it's time to get real. Time to get our rucks in a row, our behinds in gear and our floggers in hand. ..Footy is Back, Baby! 

Armed with a mouthful of words, a fistful of opinions and a head full of you know what, the Ruck 'n Roll team will leave no turn unstoned to bring you a totally unique perspective on the 2026 football season. That's a cast iron promise from our iron carrying cast. 

This week we also talk the music of Wings. 

Bake a cake, buy a present and call the firies as Stephen J and Kev celebrate yet another birthday. By the way Peaky - that wish will never come true. 

Ruck ON!!!
