The Home Ground
Part 2 of our chat with AFL premiership coach Mark "Choco" Williams. Mark gets honest about being concussed seven times during his playing career and how player welfare has changed since then turns to what Tasmania's new AFL license needs to succeed and what a genuinely successful expansion club actually looks like.
Episode #31
His reaction after Port Adelaide's 2004 Grand Final siren is still ranked among the most iconic in AFL finals history, and on this episode of The Home Ground, David Basheer and Max Shifman get Mark Williams to relive it. The conversation runs through growing up inside a football dynasty, with the Williams name attached to 22 of Port Adelaide's 36 SANFL premierships, building AFL clubs from nothing at the Brisbane Bears and GWS, and what he's doing now inside Hawthorn's AFLW program.

Episode #2
Port Adelaide spent four years quietly buying up houses around Alberton Oval. No announcement, no big reveal, just one property at a time until they had enough to build something way bigger than a footy ground.On this episode of The Home Ground, Port Adelaide CEO Matthew Richardson explains why the club is done leaving its future up to whether the team wins or loses. Twenty-seven properties, a trust set up by die-hard supporters, and a loan from the AFL's own investment fund got the deal done, and the club is now sitting on zero AFL debt.The story also has a wild bit of timing buried in it. Weeks after Port's first-ever premiership in 2004, the club had to sell its last house for $180,000. Twenty years later, buying that same block back cost a whole lot more.
