Rodney Eade: The best spray I ever gave - a podcast by TAB

Rodney ‘Rocket’ Eade’s AFL journey has been unique. Eade won four flags during a dynastic Hawthorn Hawks era, was a foundation member of the Brisbane Bears, travelled to Sydney for his first senior coaching gig, and oversaw the renaissance of the Western Bulldogs before coaching the expansion Gold Coast Suns. And that’s not even mentioning that Will Minson spray! After 259 games as a player and 377 as a coach, he tells Inside 50 hosts Shane Crawford and Nick Quinn some of his greatest stories, including coaching the polarising approaches of Tony ‘Plugger’ Lockett and Gary Ablett Jr. While the Tasmania-born Eade is all for his home state being granted a license in the AFL, he says the start-up franchise will face some significant challenges from the NBL and the Tasmania JackJumpers.
