In Western Australia where Max’s Island is recorded, we are in the midst of 
another exciting Aussie Rules football season.

At the highest level of AFL, the local scene has featured the strong 
“on-field” improvement of the Fremantle Dockers and “Harley Hype” is 
gripping the West Coast Eagles fan base.

The local WA Football League also continues to generate incredible 
community support and be the important “feeder” system for the elite 
players.

But, it wasn’t that long ago when things were compromised by the pandemic 
and in WA, we experienced an isolation that actually allowed this local 
competition to continue and provide a real emotional outlet for many…at a 
time of collective community anxiety.

In today’s episode, we reflect on the two occasions Cameron Britt, CEO of 
the South Fremantle Football Club, visited the island to share his story 
about his journey in football, how he came to WA and the bizarre times of 
successfully running a football club during a pandemic.

"I often tell people, when your mum stops listening that's when you're in trouble"

We’re told to always be in the present moment … we’re told to set goals and achieve them … we’re told that life’s short and to live every moment as if it where our last. Arrrgh, what does all this mean?? As one great lyricist wrote … “No-ones an island and sometimes it’s good to pretend” When was a time in your life you let yourself be ‘you’ and gave yourself the time to pretend? “Max’s Island” the podcast, exists so you can tell others WHY!
