Matthew Pavlich – True Superstar!!

The much anticipated visit of AFL Superstar and Fremantle Dockers Captain Matthew Pavlich came to fruition when he arrived at Dairy Farmers Park on Sunday. Extremely surprised by the Tigers Facilities and he was quoted saying “that we have by far the best set up in country football that he has seen”.

Matthew arrived at 11.15am and promptly took our Armstrong Academy Players for an hour training session mainly involving the skills that Fremantle implement during the week. Approx 180 people were on hand to witness how an AFL player prepares for training.

Following the training session Matthew addressed the crowd in a Q&A format in the Tigers Grand Stand. There were lots of outstanding questions asked and some even had Matthew laughing. After this he then signed autographs and took pictures with fans. All in all and outstanding afternoon was had by everyone.

There is no doubt that Matthew is a superstar in every sense of the word and we at the tigers wish him all the best for the rest of the 2010 season.

The Queanbeyan Junior Tigers would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the day, Tamarah Knox – AFL Canberra, Cameron James – NSW/ACT AFL, Home Hardware Karabar, ACTEW/AGL, Dairy Farmers, WIN TV, Canberra Times, Queanbeyan Age, 2CC, AFL Canberra Record, Officeworks, Sharp Fyshwick, Coates Hire QBN and the AFL community in Canberra – A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!
