Hangin' Out with Nick Davis: 20 Years Since his LEGENDARY Swans Comeback

Phoenix Trinidad sits down with AFL star Nick Davis as he relives one of the most iconic moments in footy history — his unforgettable four-goal final quarter that sent the Sydney Swans into the 2005 Preliminary Final.

We also dive into his early days as a father-son recruit, playing in back-to-back Grand Finals against the Brisbane Lions and West Coast Eagles, and what it was like working under legendary coaches Mick Malthouse and Paul Roos. Nick opens up about his decision to leave Collingwood, the culture shift at Sydney, and the inside story behind the Swans’ famous 2005 Premiership.

Post-footy, Nick talks about his surprising stint as an NFL punter, his coaching career with the Swans Academy, and his current work with the Sydney Roosters, Waratahs, and Australian Rugby Sevens teams. Plus, he shares behind-the-scenes stories from his Providoor ad, his most awkward sponsor moment, and the differences between AFL and NRL training.
