GUESTS

Andrew Welsh

Welsh played 162 games for the Bombers after being recruited at pick No.47 in the 2001 national draft. Since retiring in 2011, the former Bombers' vice-captain has had huge success in property development. Now managing director of his company Welsh Group, the 37-year-old was named in the Financial Review's 2018 Young Rich List.

Cale Hooker

In the midst of his 12th season and on the verge of 200 games (193), veteran Hooker will join the show to reflect on his time at Essendon, what made him re-commit to the club despite significant interest from Fremantle, and what he loves about the Bombers.
