The Ali Clarke Breakfast Show welcomes AFL stars Xavier Duursma and Reilly O'Brien
Both AFL stars will bring listeners behind-the-scenes insights from the Port Power and Adelaide Crows camps
The Ali Clarke Breakfast Show, on Adelaide's Mix102.3, has announced that Port Power’s Xavier Duursma and Adelaide Crows’ Reilly O’Brien will be on the show as regular weekly AFL contributors throughout the season.
Both AFL stars will bring listeners behind-the-scenes insights from the Port Power and Adelaide Crows camps.
O’Brien will appear live on air every Monday for the post-round recap and Duursma every Wednesday to talk about the round ahead.
Ali Clarke said she is looking forward to having Duursma and O’Brien join the show during the AFL season.
"I can’t wait to talk all things footy with these two. Yes, they’ll give us the latest from inside the Crows and Port camps, but I can’t wait to find out what goes on behind the scenes. Plus, I’m sure we’re going to come up with some surprises to keep them on their toes."
Listeners got a small taste this morning with the boys appearing on the show ahead of the AFL season opening weekend.
O’Brien said: "It will be good to get a test this week, I am excited about our game against GWS and can’t wait to get into it. We are all extra optimistic this year with the young guys!”

When asked by Ali about the recent AFL class action suit around concussion, Duursma, who has had a worry said: “the balance is hard with contact sport, there is a big payoff – you might be able to play this week verus long term repercussions.”
