Dylan Buckley

Dylan Buckley is a former AFL footballer who played 41 games (plus many more in the twos and a couple in the twos twos) for Carlton and GWS Giants across eight seasons. He experienced the highs and lows of the game, from getting drafted to the club he grew up supporting, winning an AFL Rising Star award nomination and kicking goals on the MCG, to the struggles of injury, self-doubt and rejection (he was delisted twice).

Knowing the end of his football career was approaching, Dylan went in search of something away from the game that gave him professional purpose and the Dyl & Friends podcast was born. It’s been downloaded more than 10 million times and featured guests including Nedd Brockman, Christian O’Connell, Richard Harris and mindset coach Emma Murray.
