The Chris Mainwaring Legends Match is back for another year, with former West Coast stars and local personalities pulling on their footy boots to support this great cause.

While current players can’t take part, West Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui is still eager to do what he can for the event, so today spent some time with members of this year’s OWLS team to share footy advice for the match.

Channel Seven newsreader Rick Ardon and sports reporter Adrian Barich both visited Patersons Stadium today for a one-on-one lesson with Naitanui ahead of the Legends Match. Being a former Eagle, Barich didn’t need too much advice from Naitanui; however everyone’s favourite anchorman Ardon was eager to master the art of taking a spectacular mark over a pack.

The 2012 Chris Mainwaring Legends Match for Telethon, presented by BHP Billiton, will this year see West Coast’s OWLS (Older Wiser Larger Slower) line up against the TOMcats (Tired Old Men) from the Geelong Football Club under lights at Patersons Stadium on Saturday, October 6.

The fifth year of this Telethon event coincides with the 20th anniversary of the 1992 grand final between West Coast and Geelong, which saw the Eagles claim their first premiership victory.

Past players from both teams from this historic grand final will be pulling on their boots again to go up against each other in the name of a great cause.

Geelong fans are in for a treat with Billy Brownless, Peter Riccardi, Barry Stoneham, Adrian Hickmott and Paul Couch just some of the club’s past stars signed up for the match.

The OWLS team will feature premiership heroes such as Dean Kemp, Peter Matera, Brett Heady, David Wirrpanda and Michael Braun.

More big names for both on and off the field will be announced in coming weeks.

Entry to the game is $15 for adults and $10 for youngsters under 16, while admission for children under six is free.
