Both Crawford and Simpkin, along with Federal Member for Nicholls Sam Birrell, put the young players through their paces.

Asked after training what makes a good football player, Crawford said it was all about attitude.

“A good footy player is not someone who's got a lot of talent but someone who's prepared to do the work... Someone who’s prepared to live and breathe what they do,” he said.
