Last game Barassi coached in 1995 I was the doc. Collingwood needed to win to make finals, Swans needed to lose to get a priority draft choice at no 1. Barassi convinced the players that the glory of beating Collingwood was greater than a draft choice. They won. Made GF in 1996

Excited to share that I’ve been awarded an @nhmrc EL1 Investigator Grant on cardiac screening of athletes & prevention of sudden death.
Aim is to build Australia’s 1st athlete ECG screening registry, focusing on under-represented groups & benchmarks across different sports ⚽️
Congratulations to the Centenary Institute's @CSHeartResearch and @jessicajorchard who have both just received @nhmrc Investigator Grants. The funding will support nationally significant research into cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac death. More: https://t.co/BFbaEqulhF
