#82 - Shaun Mannagh Back Pocket Banter

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. He has a couple number 1 fans in us here at the BPB. 🤝
