Tanya Hosch opens up to Drive’s Georgie Gardner about her pursuit to truly make AFL a game for everyone

AFL’s General Manager of Inclusion and Social Policy, Tanya Hosch has admitted she was overwhelmed by the role and nearly quit after just 18 months because she was ‘exhausted’. 

Ms Hosch is the first indigenous person and just the second woman in AFL executive ranks. “There are always those negative voices out there critiquing whether you’re doing well or not … and I think at that point it all started to get the better of me,” she said.

Drive hosted by Georgie Gardner is out each Wednesday. Listen to Tanya’s episode here.
