Thirty seconds of silence is being observed before kick-off to recognise his 30 years of life, and Alex’s best mate Tom Fields will pull on a Waratahs jumper and play this game in memory of the big American ruckman, who was tragically killed in a road accident in June.
Waratah Football Club president Rohan Langworthy said there would be “entertainment for all the family including AFL finals streamed live on the big screens and a half-time ‘Little Legends’ match in which all kids are invited to join in!”
