This season I am going to be interviewing a VFL/AFL footballer for the AFLPA.
Here’s a couple of snippets from my interview with David Parkin – who, as we all know, is very good at stringing words together. The interview will be shown in its entirety on Thursday:

It was really good to hear David reflect on so many topics.

He is married to Susan. They have three school-age kids – Theo, Anna, Evie.
He might not be the worst putter in the world but he’s in the worst four.
His ambition was to lunch for Australia but it clashed with his other ambition – to shoot his age.
