In this very special episode of The Footy Conversion, (12-year-old) Rudy and his uncle Alan interview the one and only Tom Mitchell. Tom is a present day star of the game, having won a Brownlow medal in his time at Hawthorn, before crossing to Collingwood and becoming a cornerstone of their 2023 Premiership.

Tom was kind enough to jump on the phone and face a hard-hitting Footy Conversion-style interrogation. Before and after the interview Rudy and Alan discuss the ins and outs of the final round of 2024, contemplating a (formerly inconceivable) Hawks surge to the 2024 flag.

When not strapping on his boots, Tom Mitchell hosts his hugely popular Ball Magnets podcast:

This week Rudy is joined by his dad, Nadav, as well as Blues Footy podcaster, Harrison Hymans. Rudy, Harrison and Nadav delve into the bitter old rivalry between the Blues and Pies, before covering the highs and lows of round 21.

In episode 11 of the Footy Conversion, (12 year-old) Rudy and Uncle Alan are joined by Rudy's famous 10 year-old sister, Adeline. What Addy lacks in football knowledge, she makes up for in raw charisma and an unparalleled ability to wing it, as they tackle the highs and lows from Round 20.

Listen out for the very first Footy Conversion appearance of Eli-bear himself. Fresh from his nightly bath, we ask the little man the pivotal question: Pies or Hawks?
