In Episode 13 we get another rare opportunity to go behind the AFL scenes and chat to a real superstar of the game: Essendon’s Matthew Lloyd, who is one of the greatest full forwards our game has ever seen. From kicking 100 goals in a season, to the Essendon captaincy, his coaches, the fallout from the Essendon drugs saga, Hawthorn rivalry, , the brutal bump on Brad Sewell in his final game, and a whole lot more.
It’s a fascinating episode where we get to hear what drove one of the greatest full forwards the game has ever seen, but also look at the side that many don’t see in great athlete’s – the mental health aspect of elite sport.
This episode sees Matthew talk with incredible honesty in a “nothing is off the table” discussion about his career, the people he played with, and the highs and lows of a 270 game, 926 goal AFL career.
