Help!

I'm looking for examples of professional AFL players supporting each other. Preferable some text. Especially big things - eg. Jason McCartney after the Bali bombing. And it needs a web address to refer to.

All this for a year six level.

Please leave any ideas (or chocolate) in the comments

Am emailing my ex to ask him - he works on the AFL website so if there's anything there, he'd know about it.

The only recent thing I can think of, besides McCartney, is the player that was killed in the tsunami. And I forget what team he played for. Will look it up *runs off to find memory*

I have a bit on Troy Broadbridge - the players are donating part of their salary each week to set up a memorial fund

Troy Broadbridge, of the Demons. How The Demons Coped, here.

That's excellent - thank you *g*

How about looking for the outpouring of support from fellow players after Troy Broadbridge was killed in the tsunami?

You should be able to find stuff on the AFL website (http://www.afl.com.au)

Why dont I ever read comments before I post?

The AFL site and I are not on good speaking term. It's all about how to get past the competitions and sponser details to find the meaty stuff *g*

I've got a good amount on Troy's death and what the players are doing - I think I'd focus on that and let (fictional) students examine the other ways players support each other

I have Firefox with popup blocker and adblock extensions in place - the AFL website is just another in the long line of my bitches.
