    Ep: 56 Beyond 600 – AFL Legend Troy Luff
    2025/08/01
    What drives a man to lace up the boots for the 600th time? Troy Luff might just be the most durable figure in Australian Rules. From a teenage standout in Nelson Bay to a fan-favourite at the Sydney Swans. Luffy’s story is one of resilience and a deep, unshakable love of the game. But there’s another side to his story. Troy’s AFL career was cut short by something far tougher than any opponent: depression. Today, he’s a proud ambassador for Beyond Blue, using his voice to help others speak up, seek help, and know they’re not alone. In this episode, we go beyond the stats: the 155 AFL games, the heartbreak of the ’96 Grand Final, and the roar of “Luffy! Luffy!” as he farewelled the SCG. You’ll hear how Troy won two Phelan Medals in the Sydney competition, and built a legacy at clubs like Balmain and UNSW-Eastern Suburbs. He also names his Perfect 10 moments — and no surprises, it involves a former and a current Sydney Swan. From the big stage to Division 5, and from personal battles to public advocacy — this is a chat with a football legend who refuses to hang up the boots and never stops giving back.

    Ep: 55 “The Zip Zip Man” Steve Ella’s Unstoppable Legacy
    2025/07/30
    He might just be one of the most underrated players in Rugby League history. With electrifying pace and one of the best sidesteps the game has ever seen, Steve Ella was a phenomenon in the legendary Parramatta Eels backline of the 1980s — winning four Premierships during the club’s golden era. A proud Yuin man, Steve represented New South Wales and was part of the Blues’ first-ever State of Origin series win. He also earned his place among the game’s greats, as a member of the 1982 Kangaroos — the iconic “Invincibles” who went undefeated on their historic tour of Great Britain and France. While the record books list four Test caps, Steve made 13 appearances on that tour alone, crossing for an astonishing 21 tries. Off the field, Steve’s impact has been just as powerful. He holds a Master of Philosophy (Medicine) and a Graduate Diploma in Indigenous Health Promotion, and today serves as the Central Coast District Director of Aboriginal Health. Through leadership, research, and innovation, he continues to drive meaningful change in the delivery of culturally safe and high-quality healthcare for Aboriginal communities. A brilliant athlete. A true game-changer. And an even greater man.
