    Mitch Brown and Lou Keck on the pod! | The Footy with Marns
    Oct 8 2025
    In August of this year, Mitch Brown became the first AFL player to identify publicly as bisexual. It was a significant moment in the game's history. We applaud Mitch for his bravery and the example he has set for countless people across the country. Today, Mitch and his partner Lou Keck join Marnie Vinall and Hester Brown on The Footy, and you'll hear the voices of Aila and Ben Brown too as we weave our way through Mitch and Lou's experiences following Mitch's coming out, Pride Round, and Round 9 of the AFLW. It's a lovely chat. Get around Marnie, Hester, Mitch and Lou.
