#66 Todd Carney | The Bye Round with James Graham

[@brandonfrippacademy]

I met Todd Carney about 10 years ago when he was playing for the Cronulla Sharks. Two teenagers girls nervously asked him for a photo. I was impressed by Todd’s reaction. He was very humble about the whole situation and made the girls feel instantly comfortable. I quickly said hello to him after this. I was surprised by his willingness to converse and his interpersonal skills. It’s nice to see he’s doing well for himself and doing meaningful work by mentoring young men.

Unfortunately his relationship with alcohol ruined him

good shout giving tooheys a miss this week too. Very conscious!

[@briankennedy1192]

👍😅

[@gregjohnson2563]

What a fabulous interview - I found Todd incredibly genuine and very inspiring - I believe he will make an incredible difference in mentoring young men and women moving forward - his self knowledge and ability to talk openly is truly wonderful - I wish him all the best in the future

[@damongillan9531]

You should be extremely proud of yourself Todd. To be so open and honest about everything, is truly admirable. May you continue to stay on this path❤

[@liamtaylor6272]

What a great poddy, always was a fan of todd on the field never thought i’d be a fan of him off it but now am. Jammer killing it as a podcast host

[@vviv7230]

That was an exceptional interview of the genuine honest Todd Carney. You interviewed Todd extremely well, no judgement of him and accepted Todd. Todd is such a likeable character, a compassionate giving guy of himself. Great interview

[@pondexplorer]

TC was electric 🙏 I’ve been waiting for this poddy.

[@anthonycarroll6883]

Nailed it as again James. So happy for the lads that have TC as their mentor..keep em coming ol son..

[@anthonykennedy5324]

A remarkable directed talk from Todd, beginning with the present . Then the past. Then the future. And all good in different ways.Totally absorbing. Thank you.

[@RussianRoulette_Ak47]

A Toddy, congrats on all you've achieved and changes you've made in the boys lives, Well Done Champ.

[@TimBoss2000]

Some blokes aren't as fortunate post footy either they sustained too many knocks or they can barely walk but Todd Carney is a survivor. He come out the other side he's quit the drink and look out. The real heroes do it every day.

[@pcebpceb1638]

Hands down one of the most naturally gifted footy players in recent years. He had everything and moved with such balance and grace. And now doing very good things. A good man.

[@andyparker4745]

This is now my fav episode . Unreal episode jam and Todd. Inspirational for a lot of us who let the drink get the better of them. Keep upnthe good content lad 👍

[@johnnypepper881]

Absolutely captivated listening to Todd

[@Samoan1974]

Great interview. Genuine and real. Thanks for the honesty Toddy. Great work Jimmy G 👊

[@thisarfingai]

Absolutely phenomenal interview. Good luck to Todd on his journey.

[@sallymay24]

So in other words …7 months ago Todd grew up Really enjoyed that very important to hear and see Todd being happy and living his life to the fullest

[@jamespearce2993]

Why doesnt the NRL employ people like Todd and put them into roles where they work with a number of people from pros, to young men and women in the game to support them when it comes to addiction and self-destruction? This guy is superb talking about this stuff. Imagine the difference he could make to people. Granted he is already making a difference with the young folks up on Gold Coast

[@4forty6six]

Great interview. Shows the importance of good male role models for young kids who are distanced or lost their fathers. Whilst he didn't mention it I am sure there's a part of him that doesn't want to see his son fall into a similar trap.

[@pb7592]

Well done james and tod the nrl wishes they hed the care you lads have for people and players.. much respect to these real footy players

[@paulheathwood7193]

Brilliant interview James Todd well done mate You have a great life Ahead of you a day at a time. Billy Graham the great evangelist of the last century said if you want to see miracles don't go to church to see them go to AA❤️

[@paulinsydneyaussie3902]

Great interview...TC was a very good footballer...Imagine how much better he could of been without alcohol messing up his career & life. Congrats to Todd for turning his life around 😊 👍

[@riv1726]

best pod you've done

[@ib344]

Such a gun player! His 2010 season was one to remember. U should have asked him about that semi final against tigers! he got absolutely smashed early in the game these days would be taken from the field. Then setup two tries to get them into extra time and win.

[@adthomp]

Clearly was talking about Mitchell Pearce when talking about other halfbacks with issues

[@Gamminn]

He s an absolute legend talking about what he has thank Jimmy an Todd

[@emma00b]

brill guest loved locking into this

[@samdavis456]

Less mention of Tooheys this week 😅

[@kathymunro1904]

It's about having a sense of pride

[@jamesperkins5696]

Good luck to you Todd

[@shiresmokersbbq8704]

Great episode

[@nickmilan2739]

Why didn’t we get to talk about Toddy’s footy career?

[@ethanwillis6970]

That was very strange.

[@claimname6204]

great interview, but feel like you didn't emphasise just how good TC was, couldve easily been better than cleary, should get him on again to pick his footy brain

[@okusfayreno8599]

Yeh he killed it that year with pearcey at origin pretty sure it was jist that freakish fg from cronk that won it

[@soundthealarm1634]

I get where you’re coming from but I think the point of this chat was to raise awareness about off field and the importance of mindset ect

[@dazware4443]

Good player this dude

[@Dave-fi9dc]

Every young up incoming Nrl players should sit an listen to players like Todd n other players who have fckd up an lost their contract..Every club should do it before they ever play Nrl..I think it might do good to those players who need it hearing from players like Todd n others.. Peace ✌️

[@weasel73]

Great player, could've been even more than what we seen but done some silly shit, having said that I think his "offences" were blown way outta proportion, similar to Mitchell Pearce.

[@thazritesuka]

Good pod!

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

Always been a massive fan...both on and on field. Yes, the bubbler was a bit weird, but as a young lad my mates and I did many silly things on the drink. Always thought his banning from NRL was nonsense, and way out of proportion to what he did.

[@adamsteel7147]

i'd put good money on todd having adhd

[@jessicarukuata-joynson938]

As opposed to bad money? You'd keep that

[@Palmwhat]

What does he do at the gym every morning is my question boy blown up like a balloon

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

Lol

[@glennconnell6785]

Heard Todd Carney was going to go to panthers once stage Mathew Elliot was the coach too bad enough happened what he did nothing compared to others bashing other guys and partners all class on the field had so much talent time on the field him and clearly would be good combo on the field

[@James-dq7si]

disappointed you quoted Jordan Peterson

[@kieraaanbreeew]

Get jwh on the poddy would be a good listen the most hated player in the game

[@nickmilan2739]

Most hated player? Do you mean Latrell?

[@johnnypepper881]

Gun

[@moh-tuk2350]

Good on him for helping kids now days but Carney was never hard done by. Made all.his poor decisions himself. Used to run around shitty Goulburn with his cousins and act like kings and bash people but were gronks in disguise. Common theme in Goulburn.

[@glennconnell6785]

He didn't nothing compared to what others done in the game bash women or guys getting sent to prison then getting out straight to NRL club Carney was hard done by he's one of the good guys diffently have beer and chat with him

[@moh-tuk2350]

@@glennconnell6785 I reckon your right. The stuff that was in the media he was definitely hard done by, truthfully I though he was a mad dog for the shit he done. Drinking your own piss....cmon only a mad dog would do that. The elite of the elite piss heads. I just heard he was a fuckwit from someone who lived in Goulburn but that guy was a fuckwit so I guess im not really in a position to make the comments I did. If your reading this Mr Carney I apologise.

[@Gamminn]

Unreal player unreal bloke

[@screaming.pigeon]

Time stamps are missing

[@clairecatchpool3489]

He got sacked for bubbler gate The media and the source should be in Gaol for ‘ up skirting’. Sue for all ist worth mate

[@downtownmma]

todd is a good guy
