One of the greatest Bulldogs of all – 364-game red, white and blue legend Brad Johnson – is the prized special guest on the Barkly Street podcast this week.

 

The ‘Smiling Assassin’ is just the tonic for Bulldogs fans this week, many of which are in Victorian lockdowns while the Club prepares for a huge Friday night clash with Port Adelaide at Marvel Stadium.

 

Johnson joins the zoom call with regular co-hosts Bob Murphy and Easton Wood to discuss these topics and more:
Why he got the nickname ‘Brandon Johansson’ in his playing days.
What it’s like bumping into old team-mates nowadays.
His ongoing passion for the Bulldogs and his assessment of the season so far.
The backstory to Ella J’s ‘The Bont’ song.
Creating Zena Sport, the company behind the impact protection garments worn by female athletes across a number of sports.
Why Archie Salek shouted ‘Scotch and Coke!’ when he took set shots at training.

 

Woody and Bob also cover off last week’s loss to the Hawks, the hard quarantine living arrangements imposed on players and staff this week, an update on Easton’s fat lip, a nod to the careers of Eddie Betts and Jarrod Harbrow, and this week’s match dedicated to Lifeline Australia.
