Our good mate Rob Nahas jumped in the co-host chair while Brett was off on an adventure and brought plenty of his analysis as per usual. In Brett's absence, Mick and Dyl found themselves agreeing on a number of topics and discussed plenty including Alex Pearce's business decisions following his match winning goal, Jack Steele being handsome and of course, another dose of retirement chat.

This week on Dyl & Friends we’re joined by the incredible Mon Conti. Mon is a Richmond AFLW superstar, WNBL baller and all-round weapon. Her story is unreal. She went from playing pro basketball as a teenager to becoming one of the AFLW’s most dominant players all while juggling both sports at the highest level. We chat about her rise through the WNBL, the wild early days of AFLW, carving out a place as one of the game’s trailblazers, and how she keeps performing at the top year after year. Plenty of laughs, plenty of inspo, and a few cheeky behind-the-scenes stories from one of the most entertaining players in the comp. Hope you enjoy ily xx Follow Mon on Instagram here!

Yesss Faffers! It's getting towards the pointy end of the season, and you know what that means.... retirements! The boys unpacked the grey area between retirement and getting de-listed, and even tried to call a few players who may have lied to us.

This week on Dyl & Friends, we’re joined by one of Australia’s greatest Olympians, Jess Fox. We headed out to Penrith and the Whitewater Centre to chat with Jess in the boat shed on her home turf. Blood cool experience thanks to our friends at RedBull. In this ep, we cover it all. From how Jess found her way into one of the world’s most niche sports, to what drives her after more than a decade at the top, and her unique relationship with her mum, Myriam, who also happens to be her coach. A 3x Olympic medallist, with bronze in London, silver in Rio and gold in Tokyo & Paris, Jess has carved out one of the most decorated careers in canoe slalom history. But her story goes far beyond the medals. It’s about resilience, pressure, persistence, and learning to master the mental game in a sport defined by chaos. Jess shares what it’s really like competing at four Olympics, how she stays composed under pressure, and what life looks like on and off the water. HUUUGE thank you to Jess for taking the time to chat & for having us at her training facility in Penrith. Enjoy xx Pledge with Jess for Clean Safe Water here! Follow Jess on Instagram here!

This week on Dyl & Friends, we're joined by Frank Ponissi. Frank is the mastermind behind one of the most successful sporting organisations in Australia. As GM of Football at the Melbourne Storm, Frank has helped build a culture that’s become the gold standard - not just in the NRL, but across all codes. In this episode, we dive into nearly two decades of excellence, leadership, and resilience. From his legendary partnership with Craig Bellamy, to navigating the 2010 salary cap scandal, to rebuilding a dynasty and shaping the next era of Storm greatness, Frank shares the philosophies, stories and lessons behind it all. We talk high standards, "study trips" gone rogue, insights from working with global sporting giants like Man City and the All Blacks, and how he helped bridge the AFL-NRL divide by bringing in names like Selwood, Cotchin and Yze. This is a bloody good episode if you're into sport, leadership & culture building. Can't thank Frank enough for his time.

Yesss welcome back Faffers! Jam packed episode today as we are joined by one of our favourites, Rob Nahas. We dissected the thrilling conclusion to round 19, and in typical FAF fashion, found ways to insert ourselves when it shouldn't have been possible. Elsewhere, Dyl had another go at a Marge Simpson impersonation, Mick & Brett shared their ladder predictions for the rest of the season and Mack & Linc shared some cringeworthy stories from last week.

LifeLine Crisis Support is available 24/7 at 13 11 14. Yes fam this week on Dyl & Friends I'm joined by Will Schofield. Premiership Eagle, media weapon, and all-around good bloke, Schoey joins us for a special episode that goes deep on resilience, grief, culture, and coming of age in one of the most intense AFL eras. Schoey takes us back to his early days from being interviewed by Choco at 8:30pm, not wanting to go to Port, and making the huge move across the country as a teenager. Drafted to West Coast in 2006, he walked into a club filled with stars like Judd and Cousins during one of its most chaotic chapters. He shares what it was like debuting in that era, watching the drug saga unfold, and the massive cultural shifts he saw over his 14-year career. We talk about the 2015 Grand Final loss, and the rollercoaster that followed. Schoey opens up about losing his dad, grieving the loss of a mate, falling in and out of the side, and how fatherhood gave him purpose. His 2018 premiership story is raw, emotional, and a proper lesson in perseverance. Plus, we chat about life after footy, how BackChat started, his work with Fox Footy and why he's more than happy behind the mic these days. Can't thank Schoey enough for coming on to share a side not too many of us get to see. Really hope you love it as much as I did xx Check out BackChat Studios here! Follow Will on Instagram here!

Yes fam this week on Dyl & Friends I'm joined by Fergus Watts. Ferg is a former AFL player, founder of Bastion (one of the largest independent marketing agencies in the country), and now Chairman of Reach. After a high-pressure start in footy (top draft pick, club moves, and big expectations) injury forced Ferg to walk away earlier than expected. What came next was serious personal growth and building one of the biggest independent agencies in the country from scratch. Ferg built Bastion from the ground up into a hugely successful business. Today, he shares his top 3 tips for leadership, culture, and building something that actually lasts. We spoke about failing fast, managing ego, understanding KPIs, and knowing the people around you, but also the importance of knowing yourself. Now as Chairman of Reach, Fergus is focused on the next generation; helping young people build emotional resilience in a world of rising money stress, social media pressure, and uncertainty. He shares a powerful full-circle moment, going from seeing Jim Stynes speak at school to now leading the organisation that once inspired him. This is a ripping chat for anyone interested in business, improving yourself, working on values & understanding parenting. Can't thank Ferg enough for his time today!!
