This week on the podcast we are joined by Aaron Trusler, punter from the Richmond Spiders
Growing up in a footy mad household all Aaron wanted to do was play AFL for his beloved Western Bulldogs. After starring as a junior and being apart of a talented Sandringham Dragons list, Aaron eventually made it onto the Bulldogs VFL list however, injuries would catch up to him and would end up pushing him towards retirement. It was at this point Aaron joined Prokick Australia and began the journey towards becoming a punter in college football.
Join us this week as Aaron dissects everything from his early Aussie rules days, to transitioning to punting and reviewing his seasons at Richmond and what he has in store for the future

On this weeks show we sat down with Washington State Cougars punter, Nick Haberer
We discussed about growing up playing AFL in the rugby dominated state of Queensland before seeking further opportunities in Melbourne. Over time though injuries started to take a toll and this is what led Nick to try out for Prokick Australia where he found a passion for a new sport he knew nothing about before moving halfway across the world to attend university in Pullman, Washington. We got to review Nick's first couple of seasons and preview his plans for the upcoming season, while also being able to reminisce over some of his trick plays on the field.
We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did and we can't wait to see what Nick has in store for us this year!
