When my young bloke was 5-6 we were at the Wesley College family day having a kick of the footy after it had finished. Rodney Eade was walking back to his car, saw me and as we knew each other slightly, he came over and said hello.I'm not yet sure what colours he'll be wearing. I'll find out prior to the Half Time siren of the main match.
He's only seven.
My young bloke started kicking snaps and dribbles trying to impress him.
Round 1 teams come out and a debutant with our (uncommon) surname gets named. I told my young bloke the other teams scouts saw him when he was trying to impress Rocket and now he had to play for them.
He went to his room for a while and then came out and said 'but it's a night game, it's past my bedtime'.
