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

1999 Rising Star Winner and 2009 Mark of the Year winner (and probably every year 2000 - 2010 Mark of the Year Nominee) Brett "Birdman" Burton was kind enough to join us on the show this week, to chat unusual pathways, playing alongside your heroes, and which defenders he rated highest when he played.

Did you know we have a Ko-Fi? Neither did Alastair. 22 under 22, coaches votes, and who on earth is going to be top four? Will Collingwood ever lose again? Only time will tell.
