Young Melton Auskickers Austin and Caleb lived every out every young footballers dream as they ran out on the MCG on grand final day,
After being named as one of the Auskickers of the week during the season, Austin and Caleb joined the other weekly winners for an experience of the lifetime.
The three-day experience included being part of the half time Auskick game and presenting a premiership medal to one of the players.
Austin said it was a really good experience. Both him and Caleb attend the Melton Auskick Centre and are good mates.
“I got to stay in a nice hotel, I met footy players at the presentation night and I was a part of the grand final parade,” Austin said.
“I played on the ground on grand final day and I kicked a goal and three points.”
For the diehard Collingwood supporter there was a standout moment on the weekend.
“The most exciting part for me was meeting Nick Daicos and getting his signature on my footy and getting photos with him,” he said.
Austin presented a premiership medal to Ryan Lester and said it was really exciting. Caleb presented his medal to Noah Answerth.
It’s made him want to play football even more.
“I love football and I want to sign up for Auskick again and do junior football as well.”
