GWS star Toby Greene is usually the coolest man on the ground.
But that is going to be put to the ultimate test next month.
Greene is the first player to accept the challenge to take part in the Big Freeze 6, which will be held in June.
Usually the event takes place at a packed MCG ahead of the Collingwood v Melbourne Queen’s Birthday match.
However, due to the coronavirus, this year’s Big Freeze will look a little bit different.
One player from all 18 clubs will head down the slide on June 8, three days before the AFL season restarts on June 11.

Channel 7 will air the event nationally.

He also thanked those who had embraced social distancing in the battle to slow the coronavirus.
“Vulnerable people like me really appreciate the efforts of the community in coming together to try and keep other Australians safe. It’s amazing what you can do when everyone aligns to a purpose … we appreciate the sacrifices people have had to make and we thank them,” he said.
