Recently retired Bulldog – the universally loved Lin Long – gets another fitting farewell on this week’s episode of the Barkly Street podcast. Jong joins Bob and Woody to recount his decade-long journey at VU Whitten Oval, which came to an end during the week. He recounts his sense of relief a few days after announcing his retirement, how he came to make the decision, who he told first, and what it was like telling the players in a team meeting. Jong also reflects on his career, how lucky he feels to have played at the Western Bulldogs, and discusses what’s next for him, including being able to finally eat junk food, without the guilt! Before he arrives on the zoom call, Bob and Woody chat about last week’s win over Adelaide in Ballarat, the latest covid-related lockdowns and being totally engrossed with the Tokyo Olympics. They also touch on Josh Schache’s transition to defence, and how he finally forgave a sheepish Easton Wood for whacking him in guts while he was playing for Brisbane.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
