Young mid-season pick-ups Jye Menzie and Sam Durham join Andy McGrath for a chat about coming into the AFL 'the hard way' and both growing up in single-parent households.

Teammates on the field and housemates off it, this chat explores the realities of missing out on being picked up in the national AFL draft, the sacrifices their mums made for their AFL pursuits and being young men in a demanding industry.

On the lighter side, the guys also throw banter about their golf games, all living together and what it's like to go on your first ever date.
