With Round 1 just days away, we’re almost ready to say goodbye to pre-season and turn the lights back on at IKON Park.

In a big week, Lucy McEvoy joins the podcast to chat all things pre-season – one that’s thrown a few challenges her way.

From rehab and work-life balance to old-school rap and slow walkers, there’s plenty to unpack.

Listen below or wherever you get your podcasts.
