Footy & Friends

Thanks so much for embracing these new formatted episodes. Hopefully it gives a bit of a new avenue for me to talk directly to you guys about stuff that's going on in my life. If any of this resonates with you or you're doing similar things or you have some running tips, please send them through. I love hearing from everyone. It was also great to reflect on some of the chats from the last few week...

The interview you are about to hear contains a discussion around some pretty complex topics, including suicidal ideations. My guest and I are by no means mental health professionals, so please be mindful that we are sharing our own personal views, opinions and stories. If you think this is likely to be triggering or to cause you distress in anyway, please consider whether this is the right episode...

Changkuoth or “CJ” is coming off a breakout 2021 campaign having just picked up Hawthorn’s “Most Promising Player” award to add to his 22 under 22 selection. CJ’s playing career has been very impressive, however, his family’s journey from South Sudan to Australia is truly inspiring. CJ was born in a refugee camp in Ethiopia before...

This week, Becky Lucas, an amazingly talented Australian comedian. I have been a big fan of Becky for ages and always wanted to have a chat. I also really admire comedians. I feel the job in itself is one of the hardest jobs to do, to consistently put yourself out of your comfort zone coming up with new content would be extremely difficult and I have a lot of respect for it. She is seriously funny...

Lin Jong is a recently retired footballer from the Western Bulldogs. He is such an awesome guy, I have wanted to have him on the show for ages. It was a fascinating chat.

This week on the show we have 300 game Port Adelaide champion and broadcasting beast, Kane Cornes. Kane is a polarising figure in the media landscape and he’s often made big calls that have split the footy community! It was a fascinating chat with Kane.

Healthy masculinity, role models, respect for women, emotional intelligence and authentic conversations with our mates....

This week on the show on Dyl & Friends I’m joined by one of the if not the absolute GOAT of Australia Basketball, Andrew Gaze. I've wanted to have this legend on the show for a long time. It was truly a pleasure. We spoke about the boomers fresh off the olympics and what the medals mean for Aus Basketball. Gazey took us all the way back to his playing days with the Melbourne Tigers and the boom of...

This week on the show, Jack Post. You may know Jack from his days working with Hamish and Andy as “Cackling Jack” and more recently, as Christian O’Connell’s co-host on his brekky show.

This week on Dyl & Friends one of my fav players of all time and all round just good person, Jarryd Roughead. Roughy is a game and x4 time premiership player with Hawthorn FC. Recapping his story through this chat just made me realise what this man has achieved in his time in the game. Being able to win flags and play some incredible football for one club over a long period of time is crazy, caree...

This week we have Nick Stone on the show! Nick Stone is a former AFL player with Hawthorn, Collingwood and St Kilda Football Club. He played 20 games across 5 years in the AFL and has some incredible stories.

One of the biggest names and bodies in the league, Max Gawn. Loved this chat with this superstar! Gawny genuinely has an incredible story - from a carefree teenager, to the determined captain of the Melbourne Football Club. As soon as this bloke walked into the studio we realised why this guy is captain - everything you like about him is understated! We touched on it all - some tough years at the...
