The Brisbane Lions’ five first year players – Sam Mayes, Marco Paparone, Michael Close, Nick Hayes, and Jordon Bourke – headed to Melbourne on Monday to take part in the annual AFL Players’ Association Induction Camp at Etihad Stadium.
The two-day program included a number of eye-opening sessions designed to better prepare the latest crop of draftees for their journey as an AFL player.

“It’s been really good so far. Learning all the stuff you have to do after footy is good to know, because your AFL career isn’t going to last forever, so it’s important to consider that. Plus they help you with other skills like budgeting and looking after your finances.”
