How Big Bad Baz Became The Gentle Giant - Barry Hall

Season 1, Ep. 14

AFL Legend Barry Hall is one of the greatest players of all time. 

From St Kilda to the Sydney Swans (where he lead the team to their first premiership as since 1933) and then to the Western Bulldogs, Hall's Hall of Fame membership is well earned.

From his on field antics giving him the unofficial title of Big Bad Baz, to his post-AFL career as a professional boxer, Barry Hall has experienced the highs and lows of being in the public eye.

On this ep, Barry sits down with the boys to talk about life after AFL, the mental toll it took, his love of cars and his love of his beautiful family.
