Episode Details

On this episode of The Sounds of Eclat, we sit down with Jarryd Roughead 283-game Hawthorn premiership player, Coleman medalist, multiple All-Australian, former club captain and now list manager at the Adelaide Crows. From a country kid in Leongatha drafted at 17 alongside Buddy Franklin and Jordan Lewis, to captaining four premiership sides, Jarryd takes us through the highs of a golden era at Hawthorn and the moment everything changed: a melanoma diagnosis on his lip in 2015 that returned a year later, having spread to his lungs. He opens up about the fear he never let himself feel, the immunotherapy trial that gave him his life back, and how leaning on his footy club as a second family got him through it. He also shares why he walked away from coaching to learn list management from the ground up, and how his own experience as a player now shapes the way he builds a team from the other side of the table.
