  4. Mitch Duke's Popovic Tell All
What’s it like spending three weeks fighting for your dream, only
to be let go in a two and a half minute meeting? How do you
handle the emotional heartbreak of missing out on the 2026 World
Cup squad after giving everything for your country? And what is
the reality of player-manager relationships at the highest level?

This week, Socceroos striker Mitch Duke joins OlanTekkers for a
raw, unfiltered conversation about national team selections,
manager dynamics, and the toughest moments of his career. We get
the exclusive inside story on his relationship with Australia
manager Tony Popovic, the brutal reality of squad cut-offs, and
what went down during that brief exit meeting in Florida before
the 2026 World Cup. Mitch opens up about the frustration of
spending weeks in camp away from his kids, only to be delivered
the disappointing news in minutes.

Beyond the Popovic selection drama, Mitch reflects on his iconic
2022 World Cup header against Tunisia, his rise from the A-League
to becoming a fan favourite in Japan's J-League, and how he built
the mentality to navigate elite football's biggest highs and
brutal lows. What went through his head during that brief
conversation with Popovic? How does a player process being left
out after giving everything in qualification? And how do you pick
yourself up and stay proud after such a devastating setback?

Plus, Mitch shares his advice for young strikers coming through
the ranks, discusses life with his family in Japan, and reflects
on his lasting legacy in green and gold.
