It is often noted that life is a matter of perspective and so, on Preliminary Final day, the scribe digs the deck chair out of the garage and positions with the great unwashed on the hill at Gore Hill Oval to take in the punter’s perspective of the game. It’s a...

ISSY BATE – 50 GAMES!
It was a cold winter morning at Auskick back in 2017 when the head coach asked if any girls were interested in playing with the older u10 girls team. I almost choked on my second sausage when Isabel was the only player who raised a hand. It was a moment of reckoning,...
