Next, the boys are joined by Australian Rules football legend and one of the most celebrated players in the game, Simon Black. 3x AFL Premierships, a Brownlow, a Norm Smith and countless other 'trinkets', there's next to nothing he hasn't done in the game.

Always the loyal team man, he valued group achievements over the many individual accolades he received. Simon is a client of NC Management (Harrison's work), so the boys know Simon well and were able to squeeze some of the best juice out of this conversation. Hope you enjoy!
