  • Brad Ottens: I needed to challenge myself to make a change

    Brad Ottens: I needed to challenge myself to make a change
    Jun 9 2022
    Three-time premiership ruckman Brad Ottens speaks to Shane Crawford and Nick Quinn about his stellar 245-game AFL career, which began when the Richmond Tigers drafted him with pick No. 2 in 1997 and ended with a third flag in his final game 14 years later. Ottens discusses his unique path to the AFL system; growing up in relative isolation in the Northern Territory before moving to South Australia, where he began taking up footy seriously at a boarding school. When the Tigers selected him and he was thrust into a locker room with “mega stars” like Matthew Richardson and Wayne Campbell, it all changed very quickly. In 2001, Mick Malthouse anointed him “the best player in the game”. Ottens had a close relationship with the late Danny Frawley, and shares a couple of priceless stories from their days at Tigerland. But as he struggled with consistency, he was eventually traded to the Geelong Cats for pick 12 and pick 16. And the rest is history: three flags and a crucial part in some all-time classics. This is an episode not to be missed.

  • Paul Salmon: It really did change my life (Part 2)

    Paul Salmon: It really did change my life (Part 2)
    Jun 3 2022
    In the second part of Inside 50's expansive interview with one of football's most towering figures of the '80s and '90s, Paul Salmon, the two-time premiership player opens up on his souring relationship with the Essendon Bombers that led to his trade to the Hawthorn Hawks. Salmon's career was revitalised with Hawthorn, as he was named in the side's Team of Century after just five seasons. Salmon and Shane Crawford also reminiscence on an infamous Brownlow Medal night run-in with Craig Hutchison, which Crawford speculates saw Salmon chase the to-be media tycoon down the halls of the hotel in anger. There are also some unforgettable tales of Salmon playing with Gary Ablett Snr for Victoria, and he recalls the day a fiery Ted Whitten told him he'd never play State of Origin football again.

  • Paul Salmon: I could never trust this game ever again (Part 1)

    Paul Salmon: I could never trust this game ever again (Part 1)
    May 27 2022
    Two-time premiership player and 324-gamer Paul Salmon discusses his dramatic 19 seasons in the AFL. After a devastating injury at Victoria Park at the beginning of his career, it forced Salmon to rethink his relationship with the game, which saw him focus on his many interests outside of football, including buying his first gym at 20. Due to the lingering effects of that injury, the Essendon star missed the 1984 Grand Final, but the "unique" Kevin Sheedy made a "secret" promise to Salmon that delivered a spot in the 1985 Grand Final, and saw the ruckman-forward achieve the ultimate dream. Salmon says a number of issues outside of the players' hands contributed to a one-sided defeat to the Collingwood Magpies in 1990. Salmon would go on to lead the Bombers' goal-kicking on seven occasions and kicked five goals in the "Baby" Bombers' famous victory over the Carlton Blues in the 1993 Grand Final. Eventually, he left the club for the Hawthorn Hawks in 1996, saying: “I’d disconnected from the colours and I was disliked by a vast majority of the supporters and grossly taken for granted.” In part two, Paul Salmon will talk about his time at the Hawthorn Hawks and playing alongside Inside 50's co-host Shane Crawford.
