Luke Power talks to Jim Main about living the dream – watching Fitzroy as a youngster, donning the maroon, gold and blue for his debut game on childhood hero Paul Roos, and playing in three successive premierships with the Brisbane Lions.
Brendon Lade talks to Peter Ryan about turning every negative into a positive. The All-Australian and best and fairest winner has beaten the odds, beaten a broken leg (twice), beaten stress-fractures in his back, and now ranks as one of the game’s pre-eminent big men.
