In season 2017, Aflplayers.com.au will showcase Michael Barlow’s ‘Out of Bounds’ podcast.

The new Gold Coast Suns recruit has worked tirelessly to take listeners behind the scenes and into the life of an AFL player. Each week, Barlow will have a relaxed conversation with a current AFL footballer or key stakeholder and discuss the football landscape, and their busy lives outside of the AFL microscope.

OUT OF BOUNDS PODCAST: EPISODE 5 — MATTHEW PAVLICH

In the sixth installment, Barlow chats to Western Bulldogs’ premiership player, Liam Picken about the drought-breaking flag, recovering from a recent concussion and the reaction of his young son to the incident, a recent contract extension with the Dogs, the club’s transition since the appointment of Luke Beveridge, and his remarkable journey from Williamstown to the AFL.
