Sport & Life with Sam Kekovich and Leon Wiegard

In this episode of Sport & Life, Sam, Leon and Dan sit down with one of the most influential voices in Australian football journalism — Mike Sheahan. From the early days at Newsday and The Mercury to becoming the face of footy analysis on TV and radio, Mike opens up on the stories that shaped his career, the controversies that followed him, and the characters who left a mark along the way.He reflects on the long‑running tension with Fitzroy supporters — “you… had the view that I was trying to run Fitzroy out of the competition” — and how time eventually softened old rivalries. Mike also revisits the biggest scoops of his career, including the seismic moment he broke the news that “Kelvin Templeton and Peter Moore… were both captains of their own clubs… for a sale for a million bucks” .From State of Origin nostalgia to the evolution of AFL media, from Tony Modra’s brilliance to the rise of opinion‑driven commentary, this is Mike Sheahan in full — sharp, honest, reflective, and still deeply in love with the game inside the fence.
