There didn’t need to be. This one was enough,of two leaders who know when to switch off and do so in style.

Let’s hope for Black’s sake there are no old photos of him floating around the Carlton and Collingwood coaches’ back garage. We can reveal he was having a bit of a chuckle whenSnap Shot contacted him to ask about the photo.

From Neighbours to the AFL? It’s possible

The mid-season draft nominations list always throws up a great backstory of one of the players hoping to be plucked from obscurity on to an AFL list.

This year it’s Oakleigh Chargers player Ingo Dammersmith,who hasnominated for the mid-season draft to be held on June 1,who provides the quirky yarn.

No stranger to fame,Dammersmith was the baby Oscar Scully in the long-running iconic TV show Neighbours between 2003 and 2006. Oscar was the fifth child in the Scully family and did not have to act much as become,as one person described him,a living prop on the hip of his Neighbours mum,Lyn (Janet Andrewartha) and dad,Joe (Shane Connor).

His mother Anita worked on the production team,and as soon as Dammersmith,now 19,was born,he was on the set immortalised in Australia’s longest-running drama series,which finishes up in June.

Dammersmith is playing well up forward for the Chargers too,kicking five goals in a recent encounter with the Calder Cannons and,although clubs have not mentioned his name is dispatches,he will be vying for an elusive spot on an AFL list with 150 other aspiring AFL players.

The quiet football talent dancing on the ’G

While much of the attention ahead of Saturday’s Dreamtime at the ‘G focused on the Tigers’ Indigenous players joining in the Lagunta war cry before being encircled by teammates in a show of unity,there was a familiar football face leading Essendon’s war cry.

His name is Mungara Brown,who is part of the Koori Youth Will Shake Spears Aboriginal Dance Group,and he led the Bombers as part of the pre-match ceremonies.

Brown was an outstanding junior footballer with the Northern Knights who was good enough to win the 2003 Morrish Medal before injury interrupted his progress in the VFL with the Bendigo Bombers. Brown then played in the Northern Football League as a tackling machine.

But he is now involved in a range of programs supporting Indigenous men,with dancing just one way he expresses his creative spirit.
