Sandgroper Sports
Watty, Scotty & Anth are Three sports mad Western Australians who are keen to profile West Aussie sportspeople, their lives and experiences in sport and outside of sport. We love hearing great human stories and we know that many others in our community do too. Sandgroper sports proudly focusses on Western Australians and takes the form of a casual discussion, where we discuss with our guests their lives in WA, what it's like being a WA athlete, what life is like outside of sport and what they think makes our state unique. Our podcasts are real life, authentic, conversations with our guests discussing how they got to where they are today, the ups and downs of their careers and what it means to be from WA.

Graham Moss: From Brownlow Glory to WAFL Dominance
Few have left a mark on Australian Rules Football like Graham Moss. A Brownlow Medallist (and runner up), WAFL premiership-winning coach, and Hall of Fame Legend, Moss dominated both the VFL and WAFL in a career that saw him rise to the very top of the game.
In this episode of Sandgroper Sports Podcast, we sit down with the great man to hear incredible stories from his playing days—his epic ruck duels in the VFL against players like Gary Dempsey and in the WAFL against tough nuts like Ron Boucher.
We discuss his rapid rise at Essendon winning three fairest and bests in his four years there, and the moment he became captain in a season where he won footy’s highest individual honoor.
We also dive into his legendary playing and coaching stints at Claremont, where he built a powerhouse side featuring legends like the Krakouer brothers, Blackwell, Ralph, Malaxos and many more - plus his role in shaping the formation of the West Coast Eagles.
And of course, we couldn’t forget the bizarre Escort Cup semi-final where the Waverley sprinklers turned on mid-game to deny Claremont a semi final win against the VFL Premiers Hawthorn!
Don’t miss this deep dive with one of footy’s all-time greats.
We would also like to thank Phil Sutton and the Claremont football Club History Project for the images of Graham Moss throughout his career.
