As the AFL GF is fast approaching I have a great little story to pass on. Local football champ, Kim Waters ( ex- Wayback capt / very good player ) 8yr old son Adam was one of 90 Auskick kids Australia wide ( out of 14,000 ) to be selected to play on the MCG at half time.. Also they are in the parade and have met all the superstars.. Even better though Adam has now been selected to be one of 22 kids to hand out a premiership medal to the winning team.. He is wanting the Hawks to win and hopefully give Buddy his medal. But is happy if its Ablett or Bartel!!
Reckon its great that kids you know get an opportunity like this.. I always wondered whether the kids chosen came from an "elite" background.. Obviously not...
Also, I think you will find Ronnie Evans will be coaching Tasmans again...
