#319 - Sam Docherty - The AFL's Most Resilient Leader & Inside "What It Takes"

Sam Docherty is a former Carlton Captain, All Australian, Best and Fairest winner and media personality. He is part of the DDF network with his podcast, "In the Lab" and part of 3AW's football broadcast team. He has just released his book "What it Takes". It was great to have Doc join us in the studio for an unreal reflection of his career. Sam is about to share with you some the biggest ups and downs of his footy and personal life. He opens up about his past troubles with gambling, overcoming it, his rock bottom moment and how prevalent it is within the AFL system. We hear about his battles with cancer and why he was stripped of the leadership group during his second bout. Plus, the famous return game (and goal) and the heartwarming support of his teammates when they decided to shave their heads!

You'll hear about his time at Brisbane and why he decided to leave and return home to Victoria. Plus, the Miracle on Grass game and teaming up with Vossy at two separate clubs. And speaking on Carlton...we get incredible insight into the highs and lows of representing the Blues and what it's like when it feels like the footy world is caving in on you....including THAT game against Collingwood! And of course, the 2023 finals series from a more positive note. We debut a new segment in CBUS' "Inside 60" and of course the hotseat returns with a cracker.

There is simply too much in this episode and we know you're going to love it.
