Dyl catches up with Carlton’s newly appointed co-captains to chat all things life, love and footy with the pair. Just a friendly chat amongst friends.

A revolutionary. Misunderstood. The ultimate conversation starter. Ray Chamberlain has transformed the way we view the men and women who officiate our indigenous sport, Australian Rules. The drama, the banter, the deliberate out of bounds calls... Very few men in history have been able to inflict so much pleasure and pain in a two hour period. How well do we really know the man universally known a...

Growing up in the Victorian countryside, Dylan James Buckley dreamed of two things... Being the host of Australia’s favourite sporting podcast and smacking Daniel Vettori over the fence for six. He doesn’t like cricket... He loves it. Great song, great podcast. He also loves his good mates Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon. What’s it like donning the baggy green? Do they feel the weight of expectatio...

He’s everyone’s favourite footballer from another team... A man whose resilience and tenacity continues to inspire peers and punters alike. But what drives Alex Johnson? Dyl Buckley goes one-on-one with the man they call ‘AJ’.

He’s the AFL’s “it” player… A dominant All Australian midfielder who is hot favourite to take home the 2018 Brownlow Medal. Surely a man blessed with this much talent lives a life that bears no resemblance to the ho-hum, menial existence of schlubs like you and me, right? WRONG. Tom Mitchell laughs, cries and enjoys a footlong just as much as any other 20-something Australian. He also fell in love...

If there’s one word to describe Jeremy Cameron, it’s ‘humble’. Sure, this big, hulking lad is a bona fide star of Australia’s most popular sporting code, but did you know that he also SAVES LIVES?! You probably wouldn’t know that as he’s really humble. Never fear… You can count on Dylan James Buckley to extract this national treasure’s important life story from his shy country lips.

He's a former No.1 pick who has collected a raft of accolades throughout his decorated AFL journey, but how much do we really know about the man they call "Lids"? WHY is he avoiding Richmond star Dylan Grimes? How much time does he spend on THAT rig? What REALLY happened at the Kyabram Fauna Park? Bucka Boy gets deep and meaningful with Brett Deledio.

Bad boy. Globetrotter. Superstar. Hopeless romantic. He's been branded with a lot of titles, but do the people of Australia actually know the real Toby Greene? Dylan catches up with the self-confessed Francophile to learn more about the man behind the reputation. Oui oui!

AFL superstar Josh Kelly opens up to Dylan about his newfound interest in genealogy, his difficulty in coming to terms with the sale of his childhood holiday house and why being Sydney’s most eligible bachelor isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Powerful stuff.
