Mitch Robinson: Mistakes, Second Chances & Life After Footy

[Watch the episode here]

There’s the Mitch Robinson everyone saw on the football field and then there’s the person behind it.

Mitch joins Trent for a brutally open conversation about the highs, mistakes and second chances that shaped his 247-game AFL career.

From being expelled from school and struggling to adjust to professional football, to watching his Carlton career disappear and rebuilding himself at Brisbane, Mitch reflects on the moments that forced him to grow up.

He also opens up about the toll the game has taken on his body and mind, his concerns around concussions, the difficult reality of retirement and why leaving the AFL made him feel like “just a number.”

Away from football, Mitch shares a very different side of himself, navigating fatherhood, family, relationships, and learning that his actions affect far more people than just himself.

Unfiltered, funny, and unexpectedly vulnerable, this is Mitch Robinson on the person behind the player and the moments that shaped him.
