This week on Dyl & Friends, we sit down with one of footy’s most loved coaches, Adrian Hickmott. Hickmott’s story stretches from the tiny town of Noradjuha to playing in the 1995 Grand Final with Geelong, then winning Carlton’s best first year player in his debut season… before punching on, moving clubs, retiring, and quietly building one of the most respected coaching reputations in the game. We dive deep into Adrian's signature whiteboard sessions, why all debts should be paid in crayfish, and the coaching journey that took him from captain-coach in Shepparton to Rumbalara, Essendon, a decade under Adam Simpson at the Eagles, and now Hawthorn. Adrian opens up on culture, tough-love vs compassion, challenging the norms, and whether the ambition to senior coach still burns. A genuine beauty of a chat with one of the most fascinating, thoughtful and beloved coaches in footy.
