He also speaks on his aspirations to return to the top flight, finding fun in football again with Glenelg and a teammate who should be of interest to AFL clubs this week.▶️ Don't forget, we will be live-streaming the 2025 AFL Mid-Season draft on our Youtube channel!RECORDED: 23/05/2025For all your AFL news go to ZeroHanger.com and make sure to FOLLOW Zero Hanger on social media:NEWS: https://www.zerohanger.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/ZeroHangerFB: https://www.facebook.com/AFLZeroHangerX: https://x.com/zerohangerTT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerohangerYT: https://www.youtube.com/c/ZeroHangerAFL
