Daniel Harford - The larrikin footballer

Daniel Harford was a top 10 draft pick and Vic Metro under 18 captain when he was taken by the Hawks. Harford went on to play 153 games in the brown and gold (and nine in a single season with Carlton). He was cocky and sure of himself with a good dose of self deprecation, that made Harford a favourite of the footy variety shows of the late 90s and early 2000s. The larrikin nature prepared him perfectly for a life as a breakfast radio host, but it was his footy smarts that gave Harford the edge as senior coach of the Blues AFLW team.

Mal Michael - The Unlikely Footy Star

Mal Michael played 238 games including the historic three-peat of premierships with the Brisbane Lions. But it might never have happened in the first place. PNG born Michael was brought from his hometown of Brisbane to Collingwood with no promises and very little money but was able to turn himself into the fearsome full-back of the Lions dynasty. And yet, it is the one that got away - their chance of four in a row in 2004 - that stayed with Michael for years. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I tried to hate this podcast but five minutes into the first Mick Malthouse episode I knew I would love it. Danny Frawley sealed the deal, this show is too good not to review. I assumed this would be rehashed nonsense I heard before, I was wrong. Hearing the details from the other side gives me a new perspective. This podcast redefines the term “amicable.” Great insights and hope to hear more. I hope some day to hear Ross Lyon’s take on his sacking.
