#97 - Jarrad Grant - AFL Locker Room Stories

Jarrad Grant is a former AFL player who played 81 games for the Western Bulldogs and 14 games for the Gold Coast Suns, booting 94 goals across his 10 year career. 

Jarrad talks about the ups and downs of being in the AFL system from the highs of being drafted at pick 5 and kicking 6 goals in a game, to the lows of being delisted and the rawness of that feeling.  

Jarrad is a bloody funny bloke though and this podcast was full of laughs. 

He shared some of the great Rodney 'Rocket' Eade sprays (including the one that has been doing the rounds on social media over the past couple of years), the prank Barry Hall played on him that you won’t believe and the infamous Triple M interview that sparked him into a cult figure across the AFL when Garry Lyon dropped the nickname “Microphone Head”. 

Jarrad shared one particular story that we couldn’t believe that happened at the mid way point of a season. Your ears will prick up when you hear this one involving coach Brendon McCartney. 

We talked about pre season camps, playing alongside superstars like Gary Ablett Jnr, the Bulldogs Premiership win of 2016 and so much more. 

So sit back, laugh and enjoy our chat with Son of the West, Jarrad Grant.
