Kate McCarthy: AFLW Star to Voice of the Game | #286

This week on Dyl & Friends we have commentator, analyst and all round legend, Kate McCarthy.

Kate is a trailblazer of AFLW. She played in the inaugural AFLW season, making history while navigating the intense pressure and personal sacrifices that came with it, including missing her sister’s wedding to play in the very first Grand Final.

In this episode, Kate opens up about the mental health challenges of being in and out of the team, the emotional toll of feeling discarded by coaches, and the impact of being diagnosed with ADHD.

She also dives deep into her media career, discussing what it’s really like commentating footy, and the complicated reality of critiquing former teammates and friends live on air.

Can't thank Kate enough for coming on the pod & being so open! Enjoy fam xx
