Where Do We Begin?

Where Do We Begin when describing Essendon's elite, excellent Andrew McGrath?

“Pidge” is one of the best players at one of the biggest AFL clubs, having been named in the best 22 players under 22 in all four seasons of his career. The man has future captain (and legend!) stamped all over him.

Andy chats all things leadership, a secret modern trick for success, and the dual pressures of being the 2016 #1 draft pick as well as a beacon of hope for a club starved of recent success. Plus, of course, a bit of Taylor Swift talk.

This episode is already in the WDWBPod Hall of Fame and is just screaming at you to listen to it.

Where Do We Begin when describing moustachioed master Mervyn Gregory Hughes? Quite simply, he's done it all. He's one of the great personalities of Australian cricket, and we touch on all of the good stuff: taking the weirdest hat-trick of all time, his role as a selector, the art of sledging, why he ate Hawaiian pizza for 10 weeks straight, plus a whole lot more! What a way to kick off Season 2, hey?

If you don't want to hear some strong opinions, don't listen to this episode. Fellow podcaster Craig Wessels joined Harper on the show for a really fun conversation about constant faux outrage in the AFL media, today's clickbait-centred media landscape as a whole, Craig's fascinating journey to a footy obsession, AFLW, and a whole lot more. Have a terrific day!
