The Back Pocket

About The Back Pocket

If you’re looking for AFL podcasts who turn the attention to our unsung heroes of the AFL - defenders - then The Back Pocket is the podcast for you. It is not a very serious podcast, but it is very serious about defenders. Home of the Scarlett- Silvagni medal, join Alastair Hampton and Jack Turner on TBP each week as they discuss what happened down back. The Back Pocket is an independent footy podcast, and you can find us at https://thebackpocketau.com and on all social media platforms @TheBackPocketAU
