Dyl & Friends
Dylan invites interesting and notable guests to share their stories in a humorous and lighthearted chat, with plenty of banter mixed in as well. It’s like a hug from an old mate, it’s incredibly warm, positive, and comforting. He touches on career and life highs and lows, taps into mindset and psyche and ultimately uncovers what makes his guests happy and successful. You don’t need to know the guests before listening, Dyl will have you thinking they’re your best mates when the 60 or so minutes is up. *Description provided by Dylan Buckley's mum.

Tom Hawkins joins us to chat Abletts, Mad Monday & Winning Flags! Round 13 Preview | Footy & Friends
Yesssss welcome back Faffers!
Brett was unavailable for this episode, but it was still a huge show as we are joined by the one and only Tom Hawkins following his game for Beaufort as part of the 2025 Carlton Draft.
Mick, Dyl and Tom discussed all the highs and lows from Tom's 359 AFL career which included 3 premierships as well as 2009 NAB Cup win. The boys had plenty of laughs as we reminisced on some of Tom's rogue teammates from back in the day before we previewed all of the round 13 AFL matches.
Enjoy!

Mick FINALLY gives Collingwood some flowers! Round 12 Review | Footy & Friends
Yessss welcome back to another weekend review Faffers!
The boys had varied energy levels with a different record time this week, but we still had plenty of flowers to give out as we broke down all the action from round 12. Mick responded to some online backlash as he praised Collingwood, Brett was stoked with how many different tangents we went on, Dyl brought the analysis as always and Linc & Mack both made gags that fell awfully flat. We were also joined by 2x special guests over the phone, one of which definitely isn't related to the producer.

Mitch Duncan: Geelong's Mr. Reliable & 300 Gamer | #285
Welcome back to Dyl & Friends. Today we’re joined by Geelong superstar, 300-gamer & my good friend, Mitch Duncan.
Mitch is a premiership player, club leader, and one of the most consistent performers of the past decade. We chat about his role as one of the senior figures at Geelong, his work with the club’s academy, and how much the place has changed since he first walked through the doors.
He reflects on those early years playing alongside legends like Joel Selwood, Tom Hawkins and Gary Ablett Jnr - and what he’s learned from being part of a club culture that’s remained rock solid for so long.
We also dive into the mental side of footy, navigating form and injuries, and how Mitch has evolved both on and off the field over the years.
Away from the game, Mitch is a husband and father of four. We chat about the challenges of balancing elite footy with family life, the shift in mindset that’s come with experience, and the importance of simply enjoying the game for what it is.
A great chat with a great man. Massive thanks to Mitch for jumping on. Hope you love this one xx

Should we give him a call? Brett got RESTLESS! Round 12 Preview | Footy & Friends
Yessss, welcome back to another weekend preview, Faffers!
It’s a shorter round of footy this week as we head into the byes — but don’t worry, we still managed to ramble on for as long as we usually do. Dyl and Mick were basically human Yellow Pages again, dialing up some surprise guests that had Brett absolutely buzzing.
Somewhere between all off this, we actually previewed the weekend of footy with our usual dose of analysis.

Anthony Klarica: The Brains Behind the Game - What the Best Do Differently | #284
This week on Dyl & Friends I'm joined by performance psychologist, author, and all-round legend Anthony Klarica.
From his early days as a teacher to working in child psychology and eventually stepping into the high-stakes world of elite sport, Anthony has seen it all. We chat about our time together at Carlton (including a wild brain story I always butcher), and unpack his journey through AFL clubs, Olympic teams, and beyond.
Anthony shares his insights from The Performance Mindset - including the tools and habits top athletes use that we can all apply in everyday life. We also dive into the mental differences between sporting codes, what makes a great mindset, and hear some of the most inspiring stories from people he’s worked with.
Plus, we get interactive - practical tips, breathing exercises, and ways to build your mental game, no matter where you're at.
Big thanks to Anthony for taking the time to jump on for a chat xx
