Show Notes
This week on Dyl & Friends, we’re joined by an absolute icon of the game. Mark ‘Choco’ Williams is a premiership coach, footy innovator, mentor and one of the most passionate characters in AFL history.
From captaining Collingwood in the '80s to launching the Brisbane Bears, coaching Port Adelaide to their historic 2004 flag, and helping shape the next generation at Richmond, GWS and now Melbourne, his footy resume is stacked.
We chat about the infamous "choking" tag, honest truths he’s told players, his time coaching Dusty, dancing with Princess Diana and why the best players never stop learning. Plus, we dive into his legendary draft camp questions, his coaching philosophy, and what really separates the good from the great.
This was a genuinely good chat. Can't thank Choco enough for taking the time. Make sure you support Choco by checking out the links below ily xx
