Tom Morris (Channel 9 AFL & Sports Reporter)

Tom Morris has been at the centre of Australian sports media — from breaking some of the biggest AFL stories to finding himself in the headlines. In this episode, we go deep on the art of sports journalism, building credibility, choosing your words carefully, and what it’s really like working inside the AFL media machine. From early days at SEN and Fox Footy, to being stood down in 2022, and making a major return with Channel 9 — Tom opens up about the pressure, the missteps, and the comeback. We also unpack current AFL controversies, the politics of commentary, Kane Cornes’ media presence, and why getting 9/10 things right might still make you look like a fool.
