Brendon Goddard was the No.1 pick set to join Carlton, until the Blues lost their draft picks and he landed at St Kilda. He became one of the Saints’ most important players, played in the crushing 2009 and 2010 Grand Finals losses, then became the first AFL free agent when he left for Essendon... just months before the infamous supplements saga began.
Travis Cloke won a premiership with Collingwood and became one of the AFL's most recognisable key forwards. But after controversially leaving the Magpies for the Western Bulldogs in 2016, his career came to an end out of nowhere… at just age 30.
Claudia Hollingsworth went to the Olympics at just 19.
Richard Baker, one of Australia's leading investigative journalists, returns to Dyl & Friends for a deep dive into cold cases, conspiracy theories and some of Australia's biggest unsolved mysteries.
