Hello friends, and welcome to Season 2.

We had the great pleasure of catching up with Mark Eustice at the Alma Tavern in Adelaide during the inaugural AFL Gather Round. 

Mark's tale is not one of flags and medals. Mark's tale is one of a lack of awareness, a lack of support, and a lack of knowledge of what is really going on in a young person's head. He may not have the awards and accolades, but he definitely has our respect.

Hold on to your beer, because this episode is 'loose'! We caught up with the lads from AMONG THE RESTLESS on the Sunday following a triumphant showing at The Setts on a balmy night in Mildura. We didn't delve too deep as everyone was very dusty - including yours truly - but we did manage to find out where we can get our hands on some Malocchio seltzer!

Cheers.
