Sending goodwill via footy

With the cold snap set in for another week or so, there’s never been a better time to get some warm-up tips from an AFL star.

Staff at Australia Post’s Melbourne Parcel Centre at Sunshine West got some warm-up pointers from David Zaharakis (pictured with worker Jenny Magnaye).

The goal sneak-turned-midfielder and AFL multicultural ambassador also shared personal stories with staff of how football has helped them and their families build stronger community ties.

“Australian football has the extraordinary power to bring people together regardless of background,” he said.

The AFL’s multicultural round was held at the weekend.
