Thanks on behalf on my 4 year old son for his magazine yesterday.  He loves getting them even though he can’t read yet. Thankfully, unlike Melbourne sports sections, there is enough Eagles’ photos and stuff to keep him entertained for days.

Have also attached a photo of Luis taken after draft last year with his favourite player Nic Natauni. Luis has mild Autism and language development delay BUT he has been perfectly clear on 2 things in the last couple of years he loves the Eagles AND Nic.

Sport is a positive and inspirational thing for young people even if they play or not. He is not a bad kick, refuses to catch or "mark” but gets great joy out of going and cheering on his team. I have managed to take him to 2 Vic Eagles matches this year (v Richmond and v Melbourne) which weren't victories BUT trust me that did not matter.

Thanks again for all your hard work in making young members feel respected and involved.

Best wishes

Liza
