Jack inspires future stars

By Tanya Paolucci

The Swans skipper, who was joined by GWS forward Dylan Addison, climbed the Sydney landmark with the NSW under-12 team, who will compete in the National AFL School Championships, to be held in Sydney this week.

A former Pennant Hills junior and NSW representative player, Jack said he enjoyed sharing his experiences with the best young AFL talent the state has to offer.

“What an opportunity for them to climb the Bridge and they’ve also got the carnival this week, so it’s an exciting week for them,” Jack said.

“For me and Dylan, the schools carnival was where our journeys began, so to see these kids and have a chat to them and hopefully inspire them was terrific and is hopefully something they’ll never forget.

“It was fantastic to encourage these boys to keep training hard and to wish them a little luck on their own journey.”

Both Jack and Addison represented NSW in the under-12s at the National AFL School Championships in 1998.
