There are few people around Ikon Park who have been with Carlton’s AFLW program since day one – Tara Bonello is one of them.
The Football Operations Manager joined Sarah Hosking behind the mic in this week’s episode of Behind the Game Changers.
Our first non-player guest, Tara spoke all things behind the scenes in building the Blues’ women’s program from the ground up.
