In this episode of Konversations with Konrad, Richmond forward Rhyan Mansell joins Konrad Marshall for an insightful chat about his unconventional journey to the AFL.

Mansell reflects on his Tasmanian upbringing, including being coached by his father in junior footy, and the disappointment of going undrafted despite being part of North Melbourne’s NGA program.

He shares how relocating to South Australia and playing in the SANFL reignited his AFL dream.

The conversation covers his eventual selection by Richmond, his debut, and culminates in a discussion about his proud role designing the Tigers’ 2025 Dreamtime jumper, a collaborative approach with his family.
