Annabel Breeden, from Queensland’s Wilston Grange JAFC NAB AFL Auskick Centre, became the envy of all Auskickers on Friday when she was announced as the weekly nominee for the 2021 NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year competition.
“I really loved being on TV and chatting with Hamish for the half time show, everyone was really nice and made it so much fun! I also got to play footy at half time with my Wilston Grange footy team in front of a packed Gabba crowd, it was awesome!” said NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year Weekly Nominee Annabel.
Annabel’s Mum, Kirsten said Annabel and the family had an amazing time on Friday night, the whole crew were amazing, and to top it off a win by the Lions!
