“We missed two over COVID, which was really disappointing, so this is the first one since pre-COVID.<\/p>\n
“It’s one of our pillar fundraising events and critical to the club in terms of all our operating costs.<\/p>\n
“The proceeds will go towards lifesaving equipment and training equipment… events like this go a long, long way towards us putting on all our programs for beach safety.”<\/p>\n
Stokes won two flags (2007 and 2011) with the Cats in his 189 games between 2006 and 2015, and a further 11 games as a top-up player for Essendon in 2016, taking his AFL total to 200.<\/p>\n
Brown – who won a flag with Barwon Heads in the BFL a fortnight ago – played 183 AFL games for first Collingwood and then St Kilda, including the 2010 premiership with the Magpies.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got two local premiership stars, so it’s great to have them on board on obviously an appropriate day,” Mr Papworth said.<\/p>\n
