I always followed the Bombers each week and loved footy. My brother and I asked my dad if we could start playing Auskick at Westmeadows on a Saturday morning. We played for 1 year and I continued to play at Pascoe Vale, while my brother took up Motor Bike Racing. Minus a couple of years in between, I’ve been playing football ever since. I gave up 7 years of dancing to play football!
My grandpa is a life member at Essendon Football Club and was Essendon’s timekeeper for 53 years. My uncle is also a life member at Essendon FC and assists in match day rotations for the Reserves.
