Tradelink Western Magpies young gun Chris Hunt has been presented with a golden opportunity this week after being selected to play in an all indigenous U/23 match as the curtain raiser to Saturday night's Dreamtime at the G match between Richmond and Essendon. Hunt was one of only three players selected from Queensland to play in the North team coached by Michael O'Laughlan against the South team coached by Chris Johnson.
The match is part of a full week of activities in a program funded by the AFL and Rio Tinto called "Footy Means Business". Included in the week are leadership sessions hosted by Rio Tinto, Australia Post, Channel 7, University of Melbourne, a session on Respect and Responsibility and high performance testing. The North team will train at Punt Rpoad with Richmond for two sessions and the South team will train at Windy Hill with Essendon for two sessions.

Good luck Hunty and have a great week!!
