Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tom Mitchell opens up on life after AFL (and his advice for aspiring young players)

He is exploring media projects and shows with Guinea, considering coaching in the future, and focusing on staying active and mentally healthy through new passions and family life.
Tom Mitchell opens up on life after AFL (and his advice for aspiring young players)
Q: What motivated you to embark on this regional tour with AIA, and how does it differ from your time as a player?
The tour allows him to give back to communities and create meaningful football moments in places that don't typically encounter AFL players, while also keeping him active and connected to the game he loves.
'Looks good under lights': Laura Kane responds to Kylie Minogue speculation
Q: Could you explain how the new hair-testing policy works and what happens after a positive result?
A player would undergo two hair tests per year; if a positive result occurs, there is a structured program including behavioral change and medical management, and a potential fitness to play assessment if non-compliance continues.
Libby Birch explains injuries to Darcy Moore and Scott Pendlebury
Q: Wouldn't you be best prepared playing the amount of game time that he did? So what I'm saying is he was well and truly warmed up. He did the warm up, he was into the action, he was running, he was sprinting, but then all of a sudden a click of the fingers and it's pain, how does that work?
Birch notes that adrenaline and the intensity of competition can obscure the injury's true nature; hindsight suggests two weeks earlier the issue may have started as neural irritation and evolved into a strain, indicating the importance of cautious decision-making even when a player feels ready to continue.
Libby Birch explains injuries to Darcy Moore and Scott Pendlebury
Q: Talk us through the difference between awareness, neural hamstring and all this vernacular that's now creeping into hamstring injuries.
Birch explains that a neural hamstring involves nerve irritation connected to the sciatic nerve, often presenting as tightness rather than a tear, and contrasts this with a true muscle strain that involves muscle fiber damage; the clinical challenge is distinguishing them on game day due to similar early symptoms.
