A Yank on the Footy

#6 AYOTF, January 26 2020 A look at the 2020 AFLW Season

Episode 6 - A Yank on the Footy
Happy Australia Day!
If you like the show, consider helping me out at Buy Me a Coffee . Also, if you are interested in any podcast gear, you can find it on my Redbubble page. 
In this episode, I take a look at the upcoming AFLW season, including my predictions on who plays finals and who ends up winning the premiership.
I also discuss an inspirational photo that I ran across on Twitter, that I think could have the same impact on the game as the iconic photo of Tayla Harris.  Since I recorded this episode, I've received permission to post a link to the photograph.   https://twitter.com/geoffmatho/status/1219795387126435845/photo/1
I'll also make the case that Jess Wuetschner just might be the toughest person on the planet.
We also look at who should have a club first.  Tasmania or Darwin? Should it be an AFL or AFLW club?  
Don’t forget that you can reach me on Twitter @Yank_on or at ayankonthefooty@gmail.com.  You can also find me at A Yank on the Footy on Instagram and Facebook.

#2 AYOTF January 5, 2020 Looking at the relationship between footy fans and players

Episode 2 - A Yank on the Footy
In this episode I discuss some of my early and recent interactions with footy fans in Australia.
I also explore why I am so impressed with the camaraderie that seems to exist between footy fans, their clubs and the players from their clubs.  I think sports in the US could possibly learn a thing or two from the way the different facets of the footy community embraces one another.

#1 AYOTF, Dec 29, 2019 This Yank LOVES this game!

Episode 1 - A Yank on the Footy
As an American, I've recently fallen in love with the game of footy.  In this episode, I will outline my journey to become a fan, how I have fallen in love with the game, and how I came to choose the team that I support.
My hope with this podcast is to interview every day fans of the game in Australia, while exposing more Americans to this wonderful sport.
