ABOUT:
The real heroes of football are those who never step foot onto the field. They have never even touched a ball - unless tragedy strikes through an unruly shank. I speak of course about the canteen selection. It doesn’t have to be wide, but it needs to have a few staples in there.

This collection contains the foods that were most memorable to me. I cast my mind back to my days at the Whorouly Football and Netball club where I played junior footy, netball and ran the boundary.

In early high school, after my netball game finished, I’d fuel up for boundary duties by slamming down a hotdog and a sausage roll.  

My dad loves to recount the amount of times the ruck from the opposition team would creep in when he saw it was a girl throwing the ball in. The Whorouly ruck would hang back as he knew I was going to give that toss everything I had.

Home ground advantage.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

ALL AUSTRALIAN SAUSAGE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH:
”I’m just a silly sausage who dreamt big. Feels weird wearing this AA blazer and not my usual bread. It’s kept me safe for so many years. 
I always felt like I was reliable, people know what they’re going to get from me. 
On a surface level, people didn’t expect much from me, but I knew I had that secret sauce.”
