The Footy Yarn

Just hours ahead of the AFLW Draft, potential top 10 and likely first rounder Kaitlyn Srhoj joins me in the studio to talk about the one thing everyone wants to hear, her instagram from when she was 10. We also talk about footy as well I guess. #AFLW #AFLWDraft #WAFLW

Another day, another draft prospect hitting the screen. Xavier Walsh is a lumbering key forward with big mitts and buckets of talent. We hit the nitty gritty of fashion trends and shit roommates. #AFL #AFLDraft #WAFooty #WAFL #FootyPodcast #AFLPodcast

Perhaps the most calamitous interview I've ever done, Oscar Hine-Baston is in the studio and rather comfortable. A conversation that regularly tows the line, plenty will never see the light of day, but plentier does. #AFL #AFLDraft #WAFL #WAFooty #AFLPodcast

Patriotic Western Australian Jed Walter has kindly got the set up going down at his Nan's in Dunsborough for an all time chat. A priceless podcast (fuel cost about $60) with the premier big man in this years draft.

Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023. Tyrell Dewar is an exciting forward out of Kalgoorlie aligned to West Coast through their NGA program. Beginning the year on the half back line, Dewar pushed forward in order to play state footy and excelled, showing signs of a promising future regularly throughout the season.

Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023. Kane Bevan is a tall, gutsy inside midfielder with leadership qualities and a polished junior resume. With experience as a key defender, several years of big performances and a Jack Clarke Medal for WAFL Colts Best and Fairest in his possession, Kane is going to be one to watch in this draft.

Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023. Harry Cole has been another bolter in this years draft, the medium forward out of Claremont and Hale has been superb in 2022 to find himself as a late addition to the state squad where he performed admirably in the State Carnival. Able to push into the midfield and play a variety of roles in the forward line, Harry's talent and versatility will have many clubs licking their lips.

Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023. Ed Allan is a tantalising prospect heading into this draft. With such a limited sample size in 2022 due to injury, Ed was exciting in the few games he managed. A tall player capable of playing all across the ground, Ed predominantly fills out on a wing and has managed to bolt himself into first round draft calculations. Sam Gilbey has been one of the top prospects in this draft since the year began, but off the back of illness and injury, he has missed out on a lot of opportunities in 2022, but has continued to impress whenever he has played. A good sized, rebounding defender, Sam is a smart player with a beauty of a kick.

Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023. Darcy Jones has been one who has proved many doubters wrong in 2022. A short king of an inside midfielder, Darcy uses his speed and agility to be a major threat in contests and get around the ground to accumulate and dominate. A helmet wearing, scoreboard impacting jet, Darcy broke the all time agility record in the most recent National Combine, a record previously held by Stephen Hill.

Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023. Connor McDonald is the younger brother of Sydney key forward Logan McDonald, but he provides a much different game to his sibling. A medium sized midfielder, capable of playing on the inside or the outside, Connor has proven to be a bolter in this years draft. A late addition to the state squad off the back of AFL clubs wanting to see more of him, the year has been a big one for him.

Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023. Jedd Busslinger and Hugh Davies are two of the draft's premier key defenders in 2022. Busslinger firms a likely top 10 selection as the number one key defender in this draft. He is a smart user of the footy, reader of the play, and close personal friend of Joel Selwood, a story he delves into in detail. Davies is going to be an interesting name to watch in this draft, a potential gem late in the draft, or early selection for a club yearning for the smart, intercept defender that has become so popular in the modern game.

Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023. Baxter Philip is a crafty and athletic midfielder who can fill out a spot in the engine room, on the outside, or as a forward. Small and lightweight, his athleticism and skill has been the foundation for an ultra impressive 2022 which saw him earn a spot in the WA State Combine, where he dominated testing. Stories from his professional wake-boarding day, dispelling rumours in the media and his rapid improvement in 2022, there's plenty on offer from Baxter in this episode.
