Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023.
Tyrell Dewar is an exciting forward out of Kalgoorlie aligned to West Coast through their NGA program. Beginning the year on the half back line, Dewar pushed forward in order to play state footy and excelled, showing signs of a promising future regularly throughout the season.
Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023.
Kane Bevan is a tall, gutsy inside midfielder with leadership qualities and a polished junior resume. With experience as a key defender, several years of big performances and a Jack Clarke Medal for WAFL Colts Best and Fairest in his possession, Kane is going to be one to watch in this draft.
Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023.
Harry Cole has been another bolter in this years draft, the medium forward out of Claremont and Hale has been superb in 2022 to find himself as a late addition to the state squad where he performed admirably in the State Carnival. Able to push into the midfield and play a variety of roles in the forward line, Harry's talent and versatility will have many clubs licking their lips.
Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023.
Ed Allan is a tantalising prospect heading into this draft. With such a limited sample size in 2022 due to injury, Ed was exciting in the few games he managed. A tall player capable of playing all across the ground, Ed predominantly fills out on a wing and has managed to bolt himself into first round draft calculations.
Sam Gilbey has been one of the top prospects in this draft since the year began, but off the back of illness and injury, he has missed out on a lot of opportunities in 2022, but has continued to impress whenever he has played. A good sized, rebounding defender, Sam is a smart player with a beauty of a kick.
Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023.
Darcy Jones has been one who has proved many doubters wrong in 2022. A short king of an inside midfielder, Darcy uses his speed and agility to be a major threat in contests and get around the ground to accumulate and dominate. A helmet wearing, scoreboard impacting jet, Darcy broke the all time agility record in the most recent National Combine, a record previously held by Stephen Hill.
Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023.
Connor McDonald is the younger brother of Sydney key forward Logan McDonald, but he provides a much different game to his sibling. A medium sized midfielder, capable of playing on the inside or the outside, Connor has proven to be a bolter in this years draft. A late addition to the state squad off the back of AFL clubs wanting to see more of him, the year has been a big one for him.
Ahead of the draft, some of WA's best talents join us in the studio to discuss their journey until now, just days away from finding out whether or not they will find themselves on an AFL list in 2023.
Jedd Busslinger and Hugh Davies are two of the draft's premier key defenders in 2022. Busslinger firms a likely top 10 selection as the number one key defender in this draft. He is a smart user of the footy, reader of the play, and close personal friend of Joel Selwood, a story he delves into in detail.
Davies is going to be an interesting name to watch in this draft, a potential gem late in the draft, or early selection for a club yearning for the smart, intercept defender that has become so popular in the modern game.

Baxter Philip is a crafty and athletic midfielder who can fill out a spot in the engine room, on the outside, or as a forward. Small and lightweight, his athleticism and skill has been the foundation for an ultra impressive 2022 which saw him earn a spot in the WA State Combine, where he dominated testing.
Stories from his professional wake-boarding day, dispelling rumours in the media and his rapid improvement in 2022, there's plenty on offer from Baxter in this episode.
The seasons over and we're ready to call it a day. Trade chat is heating up, there's no such thing as a reliable source and clubs are throwing empty threats around for fun. Happy end of season xo
Sebs back, Julia's on, footy is here. An early start to the round is upon us as we discuss everything ahead of us in a massive week of footy.
4 teams left, soon to be 2, 2 blokes best suited to tell you all about it (probably not us). A look at the finals as we gear up for a big two weeks to go of 2022's AFL season.
Joining me in the studio this week is the Dockers newest Irish import Orlagh Lally. From title celebrations with Meath to a podcast studio built on a budget in a spare room, it's been a wild ride for Orlagh to get to the Dockers, and with a few games under her belt, she tells us all about that journey.
Wowee, what an intense week 1 of finals that was. It's hard to see how it gets any better than that, but lucky we're here to try make it better.
Unfortunately no full podcast this week for the AFLW, but to make up for it, Collingwood superstar Ruby Schleicher joined me for a chat. From the beginnings of the AFLW to now, the rough starts, moving to Melbourne with no money and looking at how far she's come to be a back to back All-Australian, Ruby dishes up some great gab.
Some scheduling issues left our dear Franky out of contention for this weeks episode, fortunately West Coast's Lauren Wakfer clutched up to come in and give us the spill on life at the Eagals. Hawthorn captain Tilly Lucas-Rodd was also kind enough to join over the phone for a chat about her career, her records in inaugurality (if that's a word) and life at the Hawks.

That's a day for home and away footy, 23 weeks gone, 8 teams remain. We get some of the pre-finals niceties out of the way, giving you the best genuine All-Aus team you'll see (way better than the official crap) and dish out our TABTouch Awards for U22 and overall player of the year.
Due to popular demand, Fremantle's very own Amy Franklin has taken over to become a host of her own podcast on The Footy Yarn this AFLW season. From being the victim of some intense tickling in a preseason scratchie to borrowing Sean Darcy's boots, she certainly makes the most of her time on the mic. Hope you enjoy and make sure to follow us on Instagram and YouTube to keep up to date with all our other content.
With the AFL home and away season coming to a close, it's tough to think of a round, a moment, a stage of life bigger than round 23. With a years work on the line, it's a lot to take in and digest. Lucky for you we're here to do the hardwork of sitting and talking about it so you don't have to.

Not to mention, the AFLW Grand Final this Saturday to be played off between two top sides in what will be an exciting and tense weekend of footy. Top clubs could fall to 0-4 and West Coast top up star Gus Dewar comes in to talk about his experience with the club.
Wowee, what a round of footy that was. One moment stood out above all and to reflect that, we've got the man responsible for goal number 1000, Chad Warner on the line to talk about the moment before the goal, how he ended up outside the stadium and the pandemonium for the players. And from one man who gave us the moment, to a man that captured it like no other, fresh off his viral tik tok showcasing the masses rushing the ground Jack Soepono hops on to give us the fans insight to that moment.
Wowee, what an exciting round one of AFL action. Naturally we just had to sit down and talk about it (as we do every week), and to help us talk about it, Gold Coast Suns member and friend of the show Joshua Welsh joins as does Collingwood's exciting young small forward Jack Ginnivan. Get comfy and get listening.
Wowee how exciting is this. Round one is upon us and what better way to celebrate than by (likely incorrectly) predicting how each club and player will fare in 2022.

Ahead of the draft, some of the local talent vying to get picked up join me in the studio to discuss their year and look ahead to the draft.
Averaging a touch below 29 disposals a game, kicking 9 goals in 15 games, Max was one of the stand out midfielders of the WAFL Colts competition and helped lead his Swan Districts side to a flag at the end of the season. A quiet operator, Max has a natural ability to find the ball and play in the guts or out on a wing.
If you want to see more of Max or any of this years draft class, check us out on YouTube under The Footy Yarn where you can watch our Road To The Draft series, where I go head to head with all of WA's top draft prospects out on the footy field.
Ahead of the draft, some of the local talent vying to get picked up join me in the studio to discuss their year and look ahead to the draft.
Livewire small forward Kaden Harbour proves to be one of the better genuine pressure forwards of this draft. His speed, tenacity and hunger for the footy creates plenty of trouble for defenders and in his own words, plenty of goals for team mate and top candidate Jye Amiss. One to watch lower in the draft, he would be a handy selection for any club who took him.
If you want to see more of Kaden or any of this years draft class, check us out on YouTube under The Footy Yarn where you can watch our Road To The Draft series, where I go head to head with all of WA's top draft prospects out on the footy field.

Rough nut midfielder Kade Dittmar has put himself into draft contention after struggling with back issues, Kade impressed across all 3 grades with East Perth, making him one of the few mids in the draft with experience against the top grade of senior footballers. A tackling machine, averaging nearly 6 tackles a game in the Colts competition for the Royals, Kade has been likened to a Jack Steele type.

The number one pure key forward in this years draft, East Perth's Jye Amiss enters this draft off the back of a 51 goal 15 behind season with the Royals. Jye kept rocketing up draft boards and looks a likely top 10 selection in this years draft after a stand out season.

The 2021 WAFL Colt's Jack Clarke medal recipient for Best and Fairest, Josh Browne is a consistent accumulator. Averaging over 32 disposals and just under a goal a game, Josh more than earned the honour of B&F after a sensational season. Certainly one to watch in this draft, Josh could find himself falling anywhere in this draft and would be a more than valuable asset were he to get selected.

East Perth's Jimmy Tunstill has made a name for himself bossing the midfield for the Royals in the WAFL Colts competition this season. Averaging over 20 disposals a game, Jimmy has gained interest from multiple clubs throughout the season and proves a potential late bargain for any club that may choose to take him.

The leading pure ruck of WA's draft class, Subiaco's Jake South burst on the scene after a quiet draft year in 2020, with little expectation of himself to be in the conversation for the draft. That said after a strong year with Subiaco averaging 23.6 hit outs a game in the Colts before going up to prove himself in the Reserve's in the last 3 rounds of the season, Jake has proven himself worthy of selection in this years draft and could be a late option for clubs looking to bolster their ruck stocks.

Claremont's Jacob Van Rooyen is the stand out genuine Swing-Man of this years draft. Plying his trade as a key forward or back, Jacob kicked 34 goals in just 9 games of WAFL Colt's footy as he began the season in the clubs League side despite battling Glandular Fever. He stood out as a defender in the state series against South Australia, alerting clubs of his ability to play at the highest level at either end of the ground, making him a valuable asset and putting him in first round contention for the draft.

Ahead of the draft, some of the local talent vying to get picked up join me in the studio to discuss their year and look ahead to the draft.
One of the leading key forwards of this draft, Jack Williams proves an interesting selection ahead of the draft with a wide range of potential selections he could be taken, every club will have an opportunity to get him. After kicking 40 goals from 15 games in the WAFL Colts competition for East Fremantle, Jack has caught a lot of interest from a lot of clubs. Having played for the Future's side against Geelong's VFL team early in the season and being one of the stand out forwards, he has proven his ability to play with the big boys, certainly one to watch in this years draft.

State captain and East Fremantle league defender Finn Gorringe missed out on the draft in 2020, but that didn't stop him from coming back stronger in 2021. After a strong season with the Sharks, and leading WA to a 3-0 series victory over South Australia, Finn has certainly had a year to remember.
