Show Notes
This week on ShepSPORT, we sit down with the AFL's Mid-Season Rookie Draft No. 1 pick, Tom McCarthy, to hear the raw and inspiring story behind his rapid rise from local footy to the big league. Tom opens up about what it was like to go from playing in front of small crowds to rubbing shoulders with AFL stars he grew up idolising. He takes us inside draft night, the nerves, the joy, and the overwhelming support. We chat about the intensity of his new training regime, moving interstate and how he's worked to build confidence in himself and his game at every step. If you’ve ever dreamt of making it to the top, this episode will hit home.

It's the Season 2 finale and it might be one of our best yet, so maybe we shouldn't have a break. Maybe we shouldn't.

Back to back guests, and this week we took the show to the MCG. Sunny day, birds chirping, trucks reversing, and the bloke who draws the Grand Final poster. Mark Knight joins us in the MCG gardens. Chief editorial cartoonist at the Herald Sun, a drawing every single day, and the man behind every premiership poster since 2009.
The boys are back and the bedroom has a new chair.. because this week we have our first ever in-house guest, and we thought we'd start small. Brian Taylor joins us in the studio. One of the great voices of Australian footy, two decades on Seven and Triple M, and a bloke who owes the boys an apology after the Legends Game. He delivers it. Then he peels back the curtain on the whole thing: how it took him ten years to find his voice, the one line from his boss that gave him permission to go big, why he can tell inside five minutes whether he's on, and the call he's proudest of.
The boys are back in the studio and Melbourne is humming.. finals are here, the NFL has rolled into town and the Sunday Footy Show has apparently started listening to the pod.
