A confluence of the two major football codes in Australia:
Australian Football League legend Nathan Buckley - former captain and future coach of Collingwood - demonstrating kicking skills to National Rugby League team The Melbourne Storm during a training session in January this year. The Storm won the premiership.
Today my wife recieved a thank you certificate from Nathan for participating in Australia's Biggest Pie Night, the fund raising event to help children with cancer. He is a patron of the organisation.
We met Nathan once. Impressive guy.
He sounds like a true humanitarian. I saw an Australian football game here in Nashville. Brutal.
ReplyDeleteBrutal? No.
ReplyDeleteIt's simply a contact sport.
Nashville huh? You must be musical.
If you like off-key monotones. Nashville used to be called the Athens of the South. Over the years it transitioned into country music nation - hee-haw. I missed the movement because I was living in the desert west (AZ & CO) where I wish I still lived.
