This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the
major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; BT’s
backyard fire incident, AFL finals updates, build up to the NFL
in Melbourne, and plenty more. Their guest this week is
Collingwood great Leon Davis. Leon was one of the most
naturally gifted small forwards of his generation, playing 225 AFL
games, earning 2x All-Australian selections and
producing many magical moments around goal.
The boys look back on his career at Collingwood, the highs and lows
of the 2010 and 2011 seasons, playing in front of huge MCG crowds,
and what it was like being part of one of the competition's biggest
clubs. Leon also opens up about his journey as a proud Noongar man,
the importance of culture, family, community and connection, and
the challenges he faced as a young Indigenous player arriving at
Collingwood. He reflects on the people who helped him through
difficult periods and the importance of Indigenous players
supporting one another inside AFL clubs. Leon and his family, along
with other First Nations players, spent plenty of time at Brian's
farm, including hunting trips that became part of the unique bond
they built away from the club. The boys also chat about Leon's
transition after football, his role in Cultural Development at
Collingwood, his thoughts on the modern game and the opportunities
available to Indigenous players today. A really warm and honest
conversation between two old mates, with plenty of footy, plenty of
laughs and some great insight into Leon's life on and off the
field. This Episode is brought to you by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Yellow Iron
