In Episode six, AFL Coaches Member Services Officer, Greg Hutchison chats with North Melbourne Director of Coaching, Darren Crocker. Crocker's footballing history includes an injury interrupted but ultimately fruitful playing career with North Melbourne, highlighted by the 1996 Premiership. Following retirement, Crocker held coaching appointments with Port Melbourne and the Richmond reserves in the VFL, before taking up assistant coaching positions with Richmond and North Melbourne in the AFL. In the podcast, Crocker discusses everything from the rush of running out onto the MCG before North's 1996 Grand Final victory (14:15), and playing under coaching legend Denis Pagan (18:15), to a memorable preliminary final during Crocker and Hutchison's time at Richmond (31:25), his joy at being able to fill in as senior coach of the North Melbourne Football Club (43:20), and much more.
