from BackChat Hosted by BackChat Studios

This week, Andrew MacNish joins the pod to reflect on a footy career that was anything but ordinary. Inaugural West Coast Eagle and All-Australian, he opens up about balancing elite football with engineering, family and health issues, while sharing incredible stories from the golden era of State of Origin and the early days of the Eagles. From being hit by a car and rescued by Dermott Brereton, to the challenges of Geelong, life after footy, burnout and mental health. Andy offers a unique perspective on success, resilience and what really matters beyond the game. The BackChat Podcast is served by Liquor Barons.
