Western Bulldogs premiership player Shane Biggs joins Pat Naish and Harrison Reid for episode two of What Could've Been. 

Biggsy started his career at Sydney before moving to the Bulldogs at the perfect time, just before their drought-breaking 2016 flag. 

He was one of the game's great characters and left a unique legacy that became an iconic trend within AFL social media; Shane Biggs never forget. 

Biggsy takes us through how that started, his memories from the premiership and all of the shenanigans they got up to afterwards, the wild story of how a Bulldogs fan legally died and came back to life after the game, his special relationship with Tom Liberatore, and a whole lot more.

This episode was a heap of fun with some more random stories involving more niche footy names from yesteryear.

What Could’ve Been

Shane Biggs - Never forget being legally dead

Could be one of our favourite episodes so far this one! Ex-Melbourne and West Coast utility Cale Morton joins Theo Doropoulos and Harrison Reid for episode six of What Could've Been. 

By his own admission, Morts could've been anything, but struggled to continue the trajectory his career was on after his first few years. 

Although it didn't help turning up to a club that had a crooked gym floor, no oval to train on with footy boots, and having his coach say 'I don't rate you' the minute he met him. 

Morts takes us through all the ups and downs of his career, starting with a bizarre under-18s tour to South Africa, his turbulent time at Melbourne - including that infamous incident with Brendon Lade - the move to West Coast, and everything inbetween. 

He also speaks candidly about the pride he felt for ex-teammate Mitch Brown, who recently game out as bisexual, and his memories of another former teammate Adam Selwood, who tragically died earlier this year. 

Specifically, we covered: 

2:10 - What is Morts up to now?

2:53 - That infamous incident with Brendon Lade

5:40 - Exploding in the under-18s national champs to get drafted at pick #4

9:00 - Beating South Africa by 300 points in a tour match

11:15 - Winning six of his first 40 games and the Demons' crooked gym floor

14:40 - Getting rested for the infamous tanking game against Richmond

15:53 - The grim Mark Neeld era and getting told 'I don't rate you'. 

20:24 - Traded to West Coast for pick 88

22:22 - A career in two halves and being riddled by injuries

26:20 - Going back to local footy and struggling to get a kick

29:00 - Morts watching his brother play in a flag

31:45 - Happiness and pride for ex-teammate Mitch Brown coming out as bisexual

33:05 - Hearing the devastating news that another ex-teammate Adam Selwood had passed away

37:35 - Random teammates segment 

50:30 - How niche can you go

This episode was a heap of fun with some more random stories involving more niche footy names from yesteryear.

Cale Morton - Look mate, I don't rate you one bit

What an absolute pleasure this man was! Former Melbourne speedster Sam Blease joins Theo Doropoulos and Harrison Reid this week for episode four of What Could've Been. 

Sam has a unique perspective on AFL footy after being drafted to the Demons at one of the worst times in the club's long history.

Melbourne won their second consecutive wooden spoon in his first year at the club, a season for which they were later accused of tanking. 

Sam takes us through it all: sitting in the stands during the infamous final-round game against Richmond, having to bring his own footy to training, living with Max Gawn, and breaking his leg playing kick to kick. 

He has such an admirable and positive attitude on life, even after experiencing the horrific passing of his dad when he was a teenager, plus losing former coach Dean Bailey and former teammate Colin Sylvia.

Sam Blease - Bring your own footy to training

Wowee what an episode! Former Hawthorn midfielder Alex Woodward joins Theo Doropoulos and Harrison Reid this week for episode four of What Could've Been. 

Alex has had one of the most unique AFL journeys of anyone in the game's history. 

Five devastating ACL injuries restricted him to just two games at the top level, derailing what could've been a great career.

After five seasons at the Hawks, Alex found his way into Collingwood's VFL program and, while he didn't get back on an AFL list, it did lead him onto the path to become the Magpies' runner. 

Unfortunately, he is maybe best remembered for his infamous blunder as Collingwood's runner in the 2018 grand final than for anything else. But he was so open and happy to talk about it, and we can't thank him enough for the amazing first-hand detail he went into on what is such a heavy topic. 

Specifically, we covered: 

0:50 - What Alex is doing now 

4:30 - Injuring back-to-back ACLs to start his AFL career

12:07 - Getting to Hawthorn during their golden era

18:50 - Being content despite missing out on the three premierships

20:10 - The 2012 grand final cost Theo $3000!

23:45 - Rehabbing an ACL injury with EPL club Arsenal in London

26:45 - Membership to the world's worst and most expensive club

28:00 - Still chasing the AFL dream after getting delisted from Hawthorn

36:00 - How he became a runner for Collingwood

42:25 - The infamous 2018 grand final incident and Alex's amazing response to having hundreds of people telling him to unalive himself

56:08 - Mourning his former coach Dale Tapping

1:00:36 - Looking after a new puppy with a torn ACL

1:01:40 - Quickfire random teammates

1:06:20 - How niche can you go?
