    He went into remission for a second bout of testicular cancer and began chemotherapy in August, managed to beat cancer and get fit enough to play in Round 1 tonight.

    It has been a tough few years for him, overcoming two back to back ACLs which forced him to fully sit out both the 2018 and 2019 seasons. This was his first goal (not a known goalkicker, plays in the backline) since halfway through the 2017 season.

    Feel good moment of the year for the sport and the season only began yesterday.
