:( Hey all,

Mal and Jayden came down to Wests Juniors JAFC this evening to sign autograph the kids and give them motivation. It was great to see the kids get to meet and greet a couple of fine players. (Shame not many knew who Jayden was lol)

Jayden was pretty friendly bloke, he joked with me about how the kids want something, they'll take it. (too right, bloody ratbags took my beanie:mad: )

I tried to find out why the hell the Lions ran out on Saturday whilst the Bulldogs theme was still playing. Neither Mal or Jayden knew what I was talking about :(

But it was good to see a couple of the Lions out and about. Last year the club got Jarad Brennan and Jed Adcock.

At Ferny Grove we had Jonathon Brown & Marcus Allen. JB was great with the kids.:thumbsu:

Damn you Ferny Grovers :mad:

Nah, you guys are alright :p

Oh, and that malancholy wasn't supposed to be placed there. Damn these chubby fingers :(

Did Allen mention anything about his injury?
 
I don't know what it is like elsewhere but in Brisbane we are blessed that sports stars take the time to do work like this. Not just Lions players but players from all codes of sport. If anything is going to get kids away from TVs and computers, it is the thought that one of their sporting heroes might turn up to training, sign some autographs and play kick to kick.

Top work to all sportspeople who spend their time doing stuff like this. Also, thanks Chezwick for identifying some of the good things all of our players do.

The mighty falcons! Drive past the ground quite often on the weekend or weeknights and see the kiddies running around.

Browny is great with the kids. An absoute natural. Seen him come over to young fellas at training and drag them out on the ground for a quick kick-to-kick.

How was the big fella moving? Walking a bit gingerly still?
 
Didn't want to make a new thread for this, so I thought I'd just stick it in here

Shortly after leaving the AFL shop, I ran into Jayden, Beau McDonald and and I think Allen, not sure though. Jayden recognised me from Monday, so he and I acknowledged each other briefly, but I get awfully shy so I didn't bother them and let them go on there way. Damn my shyness :(

Beau is freakin huge when your two feet away from him. I literally had to look straight up :|
 
Hi,
Yeah most of the players are pretty good with the kids and Attard especially so (from what I have seen). He could talk the leg off a chair and loves a bit of a joke. He really loves his footy and gives the kids alot of encouragement. He is a diamond in the rough that one!

Was hoping to be back next game.
