    #89 - Harvey Langford

    Your hosts were back in fine form as Blair and Connor sat down with a potential No.1 pick in this year's AFL Draft, Harvey Langford. He has since played a game for Richmond's VFL side and his draft stocks continue to RISE. 📈🎙 Harv plays for the Dandenong Stingrays and has skyrocketed into contention for the No.1 pick which is held by his childhood club, Richmond. He received the Larke Medal and Vic Country MVP after a stellar U18 Champs. He is everything you want in a modern mid standing at 190cm tall and uses the ball beautifully. 🏅 The boys chat about his draft year and U18 Champs dominance, the AFL Academy experience and how he models his game on the Bont. They also spoke about being the big kid in the juniors, why Mornington is god's country and hit him with the Under Pressure segment. A seriously talented footballer and an even better bloke. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen. ❤️

    Blair and Connor caught up with the most exciting, electric and dynamic small forward in the 2024 draft crop who has skyrocketed into first round calculations, Isaac Kako. 📈 The young talent has been part of Essendon's NGA academy since for more than five years and looks set to join the Bombers after the recent NGA changes. 🔴 ⚫️ The boys chatted about his dominant season with Calder Cannons, changing mentality to help scoring accuracy, the U18 champs, his snub from the AFL Academy and how he "took it personally".

Abbey is a 6" 4' centre who is strong defensively pulling down plenty of boards every time she steps on the court. Abbey grew up in Hamilton vic attending Monivae College and dominating the junior pathways with Vic Country, before playing with Warrnambool Mermaids and moving to Houston to play College basketball for 4 years. She chats about her moving away, her College experience, the crazy crowds, matching up on Angel Reese and her psychology studies. The boys spoke with Abbey about hitting game-winners after the buzzer, big V titles and silverware, NCAA basketball and hit her with the Under-Pressure segment. The Melbourne Tigers fell short of finals this season but Abbey will look to be an integral part of the team again next season.

    #82 - Shaun Mannagh

    Blair and Connor spoke with current Geelong Cats footballer Shaun Mannagh for a massive episode 82 chatting all things about his journey of being overlooked in drafts and finally getting to live out his childhood dream being drafted at the age of 26 as a mature ager just late last year. ⚪️🔵 It is an incredible story about belief and persistence. The boys spoke about his journey from playing at Murray Bushrangers, missing that opportunity to make it in the big time. Playing years of local footy before getting a shot at the VFL through a coach and AFL great, Jason Akermanis. Time at Richmond VFL and moving to Werribee, including his dominance last year. 📈 We have a laugh about how Connor allegedly got him drafted, living with the youngsters at Geelong, life in Melbourne early days and plenty of other exciting stories including the intense build up to draft night. It has been a story of ups and downs and it was a pleasure to sit down and listen to it. 🎙 Thanks a lot to Shaun for coming on, he is an incredibly humble person and we wish him all the best in the future.
