Kristalle Dumesny was 18 years old when her car collided with a truck after the 2017 Easter long weekend. Kristalle received fatal injuries and sadly died at the scene.  She was driving home from her family’s holiday home when she failed to give way to a heavy vehicle at the intersection of the Augusta Highway and Copper Coast Highway, Port Augusta.  Her father Steve Dumesny saw the crash site on a media report and knew that it was his daughter’s vehicle.  He then phoned his good mate Superintendent Scott Denny who was the Office in Charge of the Local Service Area where the crash occurred asking him if his worst fear was true.  The truck drive, Troy Oakes was not injured in the crash but on his way home from the scene with his boss Jayne Mills, he was injured in a second crash when an insecure load fell off a truck and crashed through Jayne’s window causing her vehicle to roll.

 It's that time of year, Christmas. A time to be with close ones and tell your mates you love them. This week I am joined by two of my best mates in Kevin Coombes and Andrew Duch as we celebrate the year that was and reflect on each other's journey throughout. This chat was electric, filled with laughs, stories and just utter craziness. It is very underrated telling your best mates how much you appreciate them and spreading the love and joy toward them at Christmas is no better time. Hope you enjoy :) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is fair to say that Bruno Fornaroli has been one of the most impactful A-League imports in our history. From his goalscoring, creativity and dominance since his arrival in 2015, Bruno has been a classic south american striker lifting fans off their seats. From Salto in Uruguay, which is renowned for the production of Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez, Bruno has managed to flourish since landing on our shores and becoming the oldest Socceroo at the age of 34 which in itself is a remarkable achievement. A very humourous, focused and classy guy. I really enjoyed this conversation with one of our league's best who feels rejuvenated since joining Melbourne Victory.  Don't forget to leave a review, like and subscribe to the show :) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Isaac Quaynor is a guy you can only love. Q as they call him is known for his ferocious and explosive speed on the footy field but I cannot lie, what I like the most is his humble, generous and polite nature. Coming from humble beginnings in a large family and his dad from Ghana in Africa, Isaac has had to earn everything he has received across his career. Isaac has stabilised himself in one of the best performing starting 22's in the AFL at Collingwood. A huge future for a player and character every team would love to have.

Miles and Archie Shepherd make up the duo of the infamous Shepmates which took over the internet at the end of 2021. I found this episode  so motivating, inspiring and hilarious as these two boys have no fear and love to say yes to open new doors.The epitome of anything is possible as the duo recreate sporting moments with theatrics from the commentary box which has Australia and beyond in stitches. The boys from the peninsula have big goals and have been having engagements with legends like Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Harry Kewell which they can't even believe.

Madison Browne is one of the finest Netballer this country has produced with a trophy cabinet that not many have had the talent, sacrifice or heart to achieve. Madi is the only Netballer to win two Liz Ellis Diamond medals which is the highest individual accolade you can achieve in the sport. I absolutely love Madi's upbeat personality and glass half full mentality after suffering two ACL injuries and having had to cut her career short with knee pain. She is now one of the most prominent broadcaster's covering the sport and her growth mentality outside of the court show's why she was able to be so successful.

Jason Mallia is regarded as one of Australia's greatest ever amateur boxers amassing over 100 fights before turning pro. Most recently, Jason was Devin Haney's sparring partner before the first George Kambosis fight that took place in Melbourne. Despite being so dedicated and talented, he felt the heartache of falling short of the Olympics and Commonwealth games due to some unwavering bad luck and the covid impact. He is now 3-0 in the pro arena and ready to tear his welterweight division down on his quest to be a World Champion. A proper tough upbringing in the outer suburbs of Melbourne led to Jason only knowing one thing and that was to fight for everything you earn.

This man has seen it all from playing in Japan, Serbia, Germany, USA and Saudi Arabia along with experiencing the highest level of football in the Champions League.
