Big Chocky. The Controversial Coach. Whatever you call him, there’s no denying the big fella has exploded this year for one simple reason... he’s calling out the shit a lot of Aussie blokes are sick of watching in silence. Governments playing games, courts going soft, grubs getting chance after chance… while the average bloke cops the blame. Chocky doesn’t dance around it... so we got him on the Better Bloke Project podcast to have a chat that lasts longer than 60 seconds...
He’s loud, he’s rough around the edges, and yeah, he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s kind of the point. He’s not trying to be a polished news anchor. He’s a bloke who loves this country, loves the people in it, and is over watching everyday Aussies get treated like they’re the problem in their own backyard. When he talks about patriotism, crime, immigration or culture, it’s coming from a place of “I actually give a shit what happens here,” not from some political script.
The thing we rate about Chocky is that he’s not out to start wars between regular people. He’s not saying “all” of anyone is the issue. He’s going after the grubs, the predators, the extremists and the weak systems that let them keep getting away with it. There’s a big difference between hating a whole group, and calling out the tiny percentage making life harder for everyone else.
We also talk about how certain crowds have tried to hijack his message, twist it, or latch onto it to push their own racist or cooked agendas. Chocky doesn’t shy away from that... You can love the flag, be proud to be Australian, want safer streets and tougher consequences, without being some unhinged extremist. That’s where most of our community sits, and that’s the lane he’s trying to hold.
