While Melbourne claimed the points in the AFL match against Richmond last Monday, it was Sunshine Kangaroos Football Club reserves coach Hamish Andrew who scored big.
Mr Andrew was involved in the on Ground action during the quarter time break, as part of a Melbourne Football Club competition with $10,000 on the line.
Mr Andrew was chosen to take a kick after his name was drawn from a raffle draw. All he had to do was kick a football into a barrel to claim the $10,000. Another Sunshine Kangaroo, Abera Afewerk also had the chance to win the prize.
Mr Andrew is the first participant to win the major prize of the competition which has been running for the past three years. Two other $100 prizes were also up for grabs.
An excited Mr Andrew said he was overwhelmed by his performance.
“Is a surreal kind of an experience as the kick was so hard,” said Mr Andrew, a former Sunshine player.
He said the club committee will decide how the money will be utilised.
