Under-Sized and Under-Estimated | Daniel Cooney Interview | DEVILS DEN


Listen Later

We have an absolute blockbuster episode of the Den for you this week! JD and Fred are joined in the studio by Tassie Devils star Daniel Cooney for his very first appearance on the podcast.


We fresh-react to the Mid-Season Draft where two of our local Tassie boys just got picked up by AFL clubs, and we get the inner-sanctum goss straight from Daniel on how the player WhatsApp group chat exploded.


Plus, we talk about the history behind pulling on the iconic map jumper, Daniel’s junior days at Clarence, his defensive pressure mindset under coach Jez, and we unpack the story behind that famous long-sleeve under-18s specy and the strut that followed it!
