About this episode
Nic Naitanui discusses his life after footy, mentorship, and parenting in this candid interview.
He wore the most famous number in West Coast history, stood 201cm tall, and spent a decade living in Perth’s footy fishbowl, but life after the number nine looks a little different to Nic Natuini. We sit down with the West Coast legend to talk mentorship, parenting on no sleep, and what happens when half your teammates weren’t born for your premiership.
