    You Can't Ask That - Ex Football Players

    https://iview.abc.net.au/video/LE1921H002S00

    Anyone else watch this? I thought it was excellent and thought provoking.

    Does not matter what you think of the selected past AFL and NRL players, what they said about their playing careers and post that was really good.
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

    Thanks for posting. I don't really like the format because answers get cut off.

    Interesting points about how things feel when the music stops. I think the show would benefit from having perspectives from folks who were completely committed and for whom the music never started.

    I have a good employment/ work career by any traditional measurement (which doesn't actually mean anything to me) but I really loved footy and devoted a lot of time to it and it cooked me mentally/ emotionally along the way. These sorts of programs need to focus less on the elite and realise that lay folk also have the same or similar issues, and this would make things more relatable.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.
