Not wanting to get tit for tat, but FFS the three three finalists for the Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award (presented by Jacko)
Nick Maxwell - Collingwood captain Nick Maxwell has shown outstanding leadership and excellence over a number of years in making a very significant contribution to a wide range of community groups, charitable organisations and social programs.
Nick is a founding Director of the Collingwood Football Club Foundation.
He established The Michael Carmody Foundation to honour the memory of one of his Geelong schoolmates who was killed in a camping accident in 2008.
Nick is an ambassador for Make-A-Wish Australia whichgrants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions
.
He is also an ambassador to theWorld Society for the Protection of Animals which exists to tackle animal cruelty across the globe.
Nick is proactive in creating new initiatives and leveraging his profile in the media to further promote these activities.
Good on him, but the Bachar Academy, the Bachar Cup? These are programs he hasnt just joined up on the tail end, but has instigated. Not really having a go at Maxwell, and i dont know how deep his work runs, but for Bachar not to be at least nominated for his work with young Muslim kids is a farce.
The others Minson and Zac Smith
