Sarah Jones on becoming the FIRST female football host, BTS at Fox, Chief, OG Fox Footy & MORE!!!

SUBSCRIBE!!!

Sarah Jones is a broadcaster, journalist, television presenter and the Queen of Fox Footy! 

What an honour it was to sit down with Sarah during Preliminary Final week of the footy at what is her craziest time of the year. 

Sarah takes us behind the curtains at Fox Footy and inside the studio. 

From the insane week-of and day in the life of gameday, through to watching the footy with legends of the sport during the quarters you'll hear exactly what goes on...and it may not be what you expect! 

Jonesy has been part of Fox Footy since its original inception in 2001, and boy have things changed. From the original broadcast rights, magazine shows and tiny office (without walls!), this will be nostalgic to look back and hear how far it has come. 

But what's even more incredible is the path Sarah took to get her to where she is today. 

Hear about her rise from the most junior of roles to the first female host of Thursday & Friday Night footy! Plus, the moment she got her big break...only to find out she was pregnant with their second child! 

Sarah shares her love of Essendon, the best and worst of on-field interviews and what makes great entertaining TV. 

Plus, the GCO Confessional returns with an absolute classic (and bloody) story! 

Sit back, relax and enjoy the trailblazer herself...the one and only, Sarah Jones!
