Our final training session ahead of our two FIDA League Grand Final appearances was full of enthusiasm, excitement and enjoyment. While a number of players have played in victorious teams in the past, others have not. For another group of players, this will be their first ever experience.
Rising Collingwood star Brodie Mihocek attended our training at the invitation of Andrew Tserkesidis – who he knows from his Port Melbourne VFL days. Brodie generously stayed to observe the whole session, speaking to all the players about his football experiences, and encouraging them to make the most of their opportunities on Sunday. We are very appreciative of his contribution.
Meanwhile, Shazza and her team are busy preparing the run-through banners for the two Williamstown matches, and a sneak preview indicates they are going to be the new benchmark for pre-game festivities. Thanks also to Kate and Julie for organising the pies and drinks for after training.
The bus will be leaving Footscray Station at 8.30, and will return after the Division 1 match has concluded.
