An AFL star in the making!



Games - 1
Goals - 1
Behinds - 1

This is Liam (LHM). On Sunday he played his first game of Aussie Rules Football for the Yarraville Eagles Under 10s.

Now Australian Rules football is a weird game for the most part - but Under 9s and 10s even more so....If the two teams don't have the same amount of players, i.e one of the teams is very short, then some of the players have to play for the opposition to 'even it up'. So in his first ever game for the Yarraville U/10s (up an age group from his normal team) Liam had to spend half the game playing for the opposition - the Laverton Magpies no less!

Anyway - the superstar that he is, scored a goal for his own team in the first half and a point for the opposition in the second :) All in all - a successful game :)

His mother (that's me!) is very proud!
