Dyl & Friends
Clubby Sports
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.

Mon Conti: From WNBL Prodigy to AFLW Royalty | #295
This week on Dyl & Friends we’re joined by the incredible Mon Conti.
Mon is a Richmond AFLW superstar, WNBL baller and all-round weapon.
Her story is unreal. She went from playing pro basketball as a teenager to becoming one of the AFLW’s most dominant players all while juggling both sports at the highest level. We chat about her rise through the WNBL, the wild early days of AFLW, carving out a place as one of the game’s trailblazers, and how she keeps performing at the top year after year.
Plenty of laughs, plenty of inspo, and a few cheeky behind-the-scenes stories from one of the most entertaining players in the comp. Hope you enjoy ily xx

Brett & Mick turn on each other and the Bloke from Moe joins us! Round 22 Preview | Footy & Friends
Yesssss welcome back Faffers!
Mick described this as a 'legacy episode' and we hope you do too. We had an afternoon record, so all the boys had their funny pants on! We covered plenty of ground on this episode, and caught up with two current AFL superstars, one of which lives in Moe! We still managed to preview all the games in the upcoming weekend of footy, but it got a little tense as Mick and Brett turned on each other...
Enjoy!

We’re on retirement watch + we broke the shit stories record! Round 21 Review | Footy & Friends
Yesss Faffers!
It's getting towards the pointy end of the season, and you know what that means.... retirements! The boys unpacked the grey area between retirement and getting de-listed, and even tried to call a few players who may have lied to us. We then got stuck into the footy and unpacked all of the round 21 action as well as getting through our Monday regular segments - Bucko's Big Moment of the Week & Where Are They Now?
Enjoy!

Jess Fox: An Olympian's Guide to Handling Pressure | #294
This week on Dyl & Friends, we’re joined by one of Australia’s greatest Olympians, Jess Fox.
We headed out to Penrith and the Whitewater Centre to chat with Jess in the boat shed on her home turf. Blood cool experience thanks to our friends at RedBull.
In this ep, we cover it all. From how Jess found her way into one of the world’s most niche sports, to what drives her after more than a decade at the top, and her unique relationship with her mum, Myriam, who also happens to be her coach.
A 3x Olympic medallist, with bronze in London, silver in Rio and gold in Tokyo & Paris, Jess has carved out one of the most decorated careers in canoe slalom history. But her story goes far beyond the medals. It’s about resilience, pressure, persistence, and learning to master the mental game in a sport defined by chaos.
Jess shares what it’s really like competing at four Olympics, how she stays composed under pressure, and what life looks like on and off the water.
HUUUGE thank you to Jess for taking the time to chat & for having us at her training facility in Penrith. Enjoy xx

Dyl makes an official apology and your favourite segment returns! Round 20 Review | Footy & Friends
Yessss welcome back Faffers!
Bit of a long one for you all today as we delve into some new areas. We got analytical as we unpacked Carlton, North Melbourne and Melbourne's disappointing losses, called up the host of a rival podcast, brought back some old segments and perhaps most importantly, Dyl made his offical apology to the St Kilda Football Club.
Enjoy!

Frank Ponissi: The Godfather of the NRL | #292
This week on Dyl & Friends, we're joined by Frank Ponissi.
Frank is the mastermind behind one of the most successful sporting organisations in Australia. As GM of Football at the Melbourne Storm, Frank has helped build a culture that’s become the gold standard - not just in the NRL, but across all codes.
In this episode, we dive into nearly two decades of excellence, leadership, and resilience. From his legendary partnership with Craig Bellamy, to navigating the 2010 salary cap scandal, to rebuilding a dynasty and shaping the next era of Storm greatness, Frank shares the philosophies, stories and lessons behind it all.
We talk high standards, "study trips" gone rogue, insights from working with global sporting giants like Man City and the All Blacks, and how he helped bridge the AFL-NRL divide by bringing in names like Selwood, Cotchin and Yze.
This is a bloody good episode if you're into sport, leadership & culture building. Can't thank Frank enough for his time. Hope you enjoy it xx
