• 243: Stuart MacGill (Player Profile)

  You might think you know the story of Stuart MacGill. But trust me… you don’t. Before we get to the deep stuff, the heavy stuff, the incredible and at times confronting stuff – first, we laugh. Because he is one of the great characters. He’s sharp, he’s funny, and his stories are as unique as his bowling action. What follows this, is raw, real and honest. A life full of highs and incredible challenges. This is a man who lived a dream and then endured a nightmare. It’s emotional. It’s powerful. It’s special. For me personally, it’s a privilege to share Stuart’s story. This one means a lot. 📆 FULL STUART MACGILL EP OUT JULY 17 *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• 241: Leigh Matthews (Part B)

  He is one of the most influential figures in Australian sport — and his story is as powerful as the way he played. From a teenager bursting onto the scene at Hawthorn to becoming one of the most feared and respected players the game has ever seen, Leigh’s career is stacked with extraordinary moments. Four premierships as a player. Over 900 goals. A reputation as one of the toughest competitors to ever pull on a guernsey. But that’s just the beginning. Leigh takes us inside his incredible journey — how he got his start, the mindset that fuelled his legendary career, his transition to coaching, and the honest reflections that have made him one of the game's great storytellers. Whether it’s breaking a point post in half, leading Collingwood to drought-breaking glory, masterminding the Brisbane Lions’ famous three-peat, or analysing the modern game, Leigh shares it all with sharp detail, raw honesty, and a brilliant sense of humour. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• 242: Nathan Walker (Part B)

  He is history maker. He is the first-ever Australian to play in the NHL — the toughest ice hockey league on the planet. And he is at the peak of his powers. He packed his bags and left home as a 13-year-old to chase an impossible dream on the other side of the world. Head inside that journey: the sacrifices, the setbacks, and the sheer determination it takes to not just survive, but to score a hat-trick at the sport's highest level. This is the raw, detailed story of what it truly takes to be elite. You’ll laugh, you’ll shake your head in disbelief — and most of all, you’ll be inspired. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
