Josh Bruce exemplifies resilience across the AFL after fighting through trades to two different clubs and various serious injury setbacks including an ACL tear in 2021 which led to missing the Grand Final. In this episode I was incredibly grateful how raw and honest Josh was opening up about his highs and lows in the game including receiving death threats only a couple of weeks ago from weak individuals, it took a brave man to share what he did. Josh is player of versatility that can kick a bag of 8 and play a key defensive role when needed for the Western Bulldogs. At the age of 31, Josh has found a level head and manages through scrutiny and expectation with a more light hearted view. An incredible episode that gives real insight to the real athlete and the rigor of professional sport.
