BackChat with Tom Rockliff - BackChat

What this episode covers

This week, Tom Rockliff joins the pod to look back on a career full of highs, hard lessons and plenty of laughs. Rocky reflects on his rise from country footy to Brisbane captain, being "robbed" of the Rising Star, why he never wanted to leave the Lions, and the Port Adelaide prelim that still hurts. He also opens up about giving up alcohol, how it changed his life, the medical scare that nearly killed him, plus plenty of stories about Ken Hinkley, on-field antics, being the ultimate Fantasy Pig and why he misses the fun of footy.The BackChat Podcast is served by Liquor Barons.
