The Local, powered by Premier Data, is the ultimate deep dive into the heart and soul of Australian Rules Football -

beyond the big stadiums and bright lights. Hosted by ex-AFL player and revered media

pundit Daniel Harford, the podcast champions the unsung heroes of the game: suburban

clubs, local legends, passionate volunteers and the communities that make grassroots

footy great.


Each episode brings real stories, raw passion, and behind-the-goals insights from leagues

all over the country - from muddy suburban ovals to thriving community hubs.
