Thomas' Wish to give a motivational speech to Melbourne Football Club

After waiting almost 5 years for his wish, Thomas, 21, had his wish to “give his favourite team a motivational speech” granted this month. It all started with Thomas providing words of encouragement to his beloved Melbourne Football Club during their Monday Weekly Wrap where the team reviewed the prior weekend's game and planned for the upcoming match. Then on game day, Thomas visited the MCG to watch the almighty Dees win over the Hawks and sat with the reserves side and the family of the players. After the game, Thomas made his way down to the rooms, with his dad to cheer on the team as they came off the ground and was able to watch them sing the club anthem. As a surprise to Thomas, he was asked to join the coaching staff and players as part of the game wrap-up where he was able to speak to the entire playing group. Thomas gave his review of the game and was asked to present the Best Player of the Week Award to Alex Neal-Bullen. Alex told Thomas and the team that "it was Thomas’ motivational speech on Monday that won him the award." This extraordinary wish would not have been possible without the generosity of the Melbourne Football Club. 🔴🔵
