This week, Paul Hasleby sits down with Will Schofield to look back on one of the more remarkable careers to come out of Fremantle. Hase opens up about getting passed over in the draft, the brutal early years at Freo, the infamous demolition derby, and the moments that nearly broke him. He also reflects on his transition into media, what he thinks is missing from football coverage today, and why this Fremantle side might be the most complete he's ever seen.
