Cale Morton lifts lid on Dees’ nightmare years

Melbourne experienced a torrid time between 2008 - 2013 and one player who experienced it first hand was Cale Morton. Drafted with pick 4 in the 2007 AFL draft, he came with high expectations. However, a poor environment and culture would greet the young Perth kid. He had a promising first year, but the entire team suffered some of their heaviest defeat’s in the club’s history. It all amounted to Cale getting delisted at the end of 2012. Here him lift the lid on Melbourne’s miserable period under Dean Bailey, but in particular the horrendous reign of Mark Neeld.

Premiership Hawk Brad Sewell recaps a memorable career

Brad Sewell was an honest footballer. Hard-working and dependable, Sewell would win a club best & fairest and then go on to taste the ultimate success with Hawthorn in 2008 and 2013, cruelly missing out on being selected for the 2014 Grand Final victory due to injury. We had a wonderful chat with the former midfielder about his journey, where it all began, the elimination final win against Adelaide in 2007, those two flags and that crude and infamous bump from Matthew Lloyd, which left Sewell unconscious during a tense and pivotal encounter in 2009.

Ex-Carlton cult figure Glenn Manton relives Carlton's glory days

Glenn Manton had to fight tooth and nail to earn his spot on an AFL list, even more so to get himself into a premiership winning outfit. With very little luck on his side at Essendon, an opportunity at Carlton would be a career lifeline that he took full advantage of, winning the flag in 1995. Glenn retells his career through a different, refreshing lens and explains why being a better person is more important than just being judged on your credentials as a footballer.

After suffering five knee reconstructions, amazingly he found a way back to play again. However, it would be short lived.
