After a fun clinic for just over an hour, the players then told the crowd of their beginnings in Auskick and their road to playing AFL at the top level. Daniel is 200 cm and only 19 years of age, whilst Kristen is a 20 year old midfielder. Both are looking to play their debut with the Swans in 2009 after being picked up in the national draft. Jarrod McVeigh, a Central Coast junior, had a sensational season in 2008 culminating in winning the Swans Best and Fairest.
The kids got to ask some very deep and sometimes difficult questions before getting photos and signatures as well as posters, Swans drink bottles, balls and other mementos of their visit before finishing off with a BBQ supplied by the club,
The Lions would like to thank the players for their attendance as well as AFL organiser, Kylie Rix and her helpers for making the day a success.
Anyone who would like to join either the Lions fantastic Auskick programme or play with the age teams in 2009 phone 0405 400 508 or email info@lionsafl.com.au
