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.

We unpack Brett's playing return and it got TENSE! Round 14 Review | Footy & Friends
Yesss, welcome back to another weekend review!
It was a somber start to the show as we dissected Brett's short-lived appearance for Coleambally on Saturday as part of the Carlton Draft...he only managed to stay on the park for five minutes! We also welcomed Mick back after his two weeks in Perth, and Dyl’s lack of analysis was on full display as Brett threw some hard-hitting footy questions his way.
Enjoy!

Paul Taylor: Navy Officer, Neuroscientist, Physiologist, Nutritionist, Psychologist... wtf | #287
Yes my beautiful friends this week on Dyl & Friends, we’ve got one of my all-time favourite guests, Paul Taylor.
Paul’s genuinely lived about a thousand lives and he’s only just warming up. He’s a former British Navy Aircrew Officer turned Neuroscientist, Physiologist, and Nutritionist, and he’s now completing a PhD in Applied Psychology. Seriously impressive.
We spoke about his wild time in the military, including some hectic moments as a helicopter search and rescue crewman, and his experience in resistance-to-interrogation training (it's as full on as it sounds).
Paul has spent decades obsessed with one thing: human performance. From flying missions in high-pressure environments to helping the Australian Military build stress-resilient soldiers, his work is all about training the brain and body to thrive under pressure.
In this episode, we dive into the science of stress, resilience, habits, cold exposure, breathwork, leadership, sleep, and why most of us are getting modern life completely backwards.
I rarely listen to my own voice but I've already had a second go at this episode. It was seriously GOOOOD. Enjoy xx

It's a Tiger Takeover as Adam Pattison joins us! Round 14 Preview | Footy & Friends
Yesss welcome back to another weekend preview Faffers!
For the third ep in a row we were lucky enough to be joined by a special guest, with one of Brett's former teammates Adam Pattison joining the show in place of Mick. We covered plenty of ground in this ep, and kicked it off by discussing some of the boys antics at Richmond in the mid 2000s.
Once we got going, we previewed all of the upcoming round 14 AFL action before we were joined by a former AFL legend (who stole Dyl's job!) as well as a 42 game Carlton star.
Enjoy!

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

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.
