A Mid Gippsland League top of the table clash was surprisingly not the main attraction at the Willow Grove Recreation Reserve on Saturday afternoon, with the presence of AFL legend Gary Ablett Junior stealing the show.
Old friends with Hill End Senior Coach Mike Santo, Ablett thrilled the strong crowd with stories from his career, rare items (including a jumper and ball signed by himself and legendary father) and multiple photograph and signature opportunities, before tossing the coin prior to the senior match against Mirboo North.
Speaking with
The Express, Ablett said it is a thrill to go out and visit country football clubs.
Footy superstar Gary Ablett Jr has opened up about his two-year-old son s rare illness, before sharing footage of the brave youngster loving life at an AFL clinic.
Speaking on Channel Nine s Who Wants to Be A Millionaire TV quiz show on Thursday night, Ablett spoke about Levi s disease, which remains unspecified.
Tragically, little Levi also has a reduced life expectancy. He is a beautiful boy with a pretty serious condition, the two-time AFL premiership winner with the Geelong Cats told host Eddie McGuire. We are seeing some improvement, and Levi is having physiotherapy each day. The great thing about Levi is that he is a very determined boy and always happy. He brings so much joy to our lives.
