TOM MITCHELL INTERVIEW! - Episode 13 - Final AFL Round Preview - 2024

In this very special episode of The Footy Conversion, (12-year-old) Rudy and his uncle Alan interview the one and only Tom Mitchell. Tom is a present day star of the game, having won a Brownlow medal in his time at Hawthorn, before crossing to Collingwood and becoming a cornerstone of their 2023 Premiership. Tom was kind enough to jump on the phone and face a hard-hitting Footy Conversion-style interrogation. Before and after the interview Rudy and Alan discuss the ins and outs of the final round of 2024, contemplating a (formerly inconceivable) Hawks surge to the 2024 flag. When not strapping on his boots, Tom Mitchell hosts his hugely popular Ball Magnets podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5OqlxHNwqPSxj3ANVSjkKP
