Podcast Overview

Dylan Buckley spent nine seasons and 41 games in the AFL. Enough time to know that life after football was coming, but not nearly enough time to feel ready for it. So he started a podcast. Dyl sits down with interesting & notable guests - athletes, entrepreneurs, creatives, anyone with a story and gets genuinely curious about their lives. Career highs and lows, mindset, identity, what actually makes people tick. Dyl's simple rule: 'Be real, be authentic, and ask the questions I wish I knew the answers to.' You don't need to know the guests before you press play. By the time the episode's done, you'll feel like you've known them for years.

How a Melbourne kid survived 10 years in the NFL | Adam Gotsis

Adam Gotsis spent a decade in the NFL... one of the toughest achievements in professional sport. Drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2016, the Melbourne product built a 10-year career across the Broncos, Jaguars, Colts and Buccaneers, surviving the constant cycle of training camps, roster cuts, injuries and one-week contracts that end most careers long before they begin. Adam joins Dyl to explain what life in the NFL is really like: the pressure of fighting for a roster spot, how contracts and signing bonuses actually work, the reality of being cut, the teammates and quarterbacks who stood out, and the mental health challenges that came with living in one of the world's most ruthless sporting environments.

Brett Ratten: from flag favourites to sacked in just 19 weeks + Judd, St Kilda & remembering Cooper

Brett Ratten is one of the most respected figures in Australian football. From playing over 250 games for Carlton to coaching the Blues, St Kilda and serving as a key architect behind Hawthorn's dynasty, Ratts has seen every side of the AFL. In this episode, Brett opens up about one of the most talked-about moments of his career: Carlton's decision to sack him in 2012 after starting the season as flag favourites. He takes us inside the boardroom pressure, the injuries that derailed the season, the conversation that ended his tenure, and the lessons he learned from one of the toughest periods of his life. We also dive into his relationship with Chris Judd, coaching Dylan Buckley, the Carlton teams of the late 2000s and early 2010s, the talent of players like Chris Yarran, Bryce Gibbs and Matthew Kreuzer, his time at Hawthorn alongside Alastair Clarkson, and what makes great leaders, coaches and teams.

The man behind the Aussie NFL revolution | Nathan Chapman

Nathan Chapman almost played for the Green Bay Packers. Instead, he came home and built ProKick Australia... the program that's helped transform Australian footballers into college stars and NFL punters. In this episode, Chappy joins Dyl to unpack his own journey from the Brisbane Bears, Brisbane Lions and Hawthorn, to chasing an NFL dream in America. He shares what really happened during his time with the Green Bay Packers, why his NFL career never quite materialised, and how that experience led him to create a pathway that has changed hundreds of lives. The pair also dive into the rise of Australian punters in the NFL, Michael Dickson's incredible story, the ruthless reality of professional football in America, how college scholarships work, and why more young Australians than ever are now pursuing the NFL dream. If you've ever wondered why Australians are suddenly everywhere in American football, the answer is Chappy.
