Our Auskick champ!

Cooper got the opportunity to run out onto the ground at Etihad Stadium today with a heap of other Auskickers at half time.

A bonus was that he got to play in the seniors game, rather than one of the juniors grid games... such a little champ!

Heading down to the rooms to get ready

Coops ended up donning the Adelaide Crows gear, it was either that or Essendon!!  He headed down to the Adelaide rooms and lucky for us, one of our friends (who works for the Adelaide Crows) was down in the rooms and captured these shots for us!

The Gisborne participants

From the rooms the kids headed up into the Adelaide race and waited to run out onto the ground.

#7 ... first out onto the ground!

GAME ON!!

Action shot!

I'm sure it didn't last long enough for all the kids on the ground but they had a blast having a kick of the footy on the Etihad Stadium ground.

 Once the Auskick game had finished all the kids headed back over to the Adelaide race.  They lined up and as the Adelaide players came back onto the ground they all got high fives!!

A great day... a great experience and a great time had by all!!
