In the first episode of two with Dayne Beams, he opens up about losing his father to cancer in 2018
A content series imagined by Hamish Mclachlan, created by AFL Media and Sponsored by AIA Vitality which is designed to tackle the overwhelming challenge of mental health on AFL athletes and young Australians more broadly. The content features an in-depth and highly personal interview between Hamish and a number of great AFL players - past and present. Players share their emotional and personal stories about the last time they cried. The series shatters the myth that AFL athletes are hard men who will not display their emotions or share their own personal mental health challenges. Last Time I Cried has opened up conversations more broadly, particularly with young men who idolise these athletes. It has also helped lift the lid on mental health issues and the general shame which is often attached with young men opening up and showing personal vulnerability.
