    Brad Green - From the Ground, To The Board to Life After Footy

    Former Melbourne Captain Brad Green joins the podcast to chat to Robbo and Davo about his position on the board, his days playing with Robbo at the Dees, coaching at Carlton, and his days post footy. Kicking off with 40 blocks picking up bags of ice because the ice machine broke, is just another one of those stories that only past players can recall and dig up. Would never happen today. We touch on the tragic passing of his wife, but most importantly what it took to remain positive, and to father his children. Such a fantastic person, this conversation is far too short, and we highly recommend you tune in and share it with friends.
