Adam Simpson joins The Howie Games Player Profile for a fast‑paced, funny and revealing conversation with host Mark “Howie” Howard.

A two‑time AFL premiership player and premiership coach, Simpson opens up on everything from his favourite food, first car and guilty‑pleasure music, to parenting, life after coaching, and what genuinely scares him about the future. From loving Nickelback (yes, really) and rediscovering Smashing Pumpkins, to attending The Masters at Augusta, this Player Profile shows a different side of one of footy’s most respected figures.

Expect laughs, honest reflections, and classic Howie curveballs — including the ultimate test: pineapple on pizza.
