00:00 I'm here with the Llewellyn family ahead of the AFL draft next week.
00:05 Can you all introduce yourselves?
00:07 I'm Cheegie.
00:08 Llewellyn Llewellyn.
00:09 I'm Marley.
00:10 Thomas Llewellyn.
00:12 And Llewellyn, you're hoping to be picked up in the draft next week.
00:15 How are you feeling and how supportive has your family been in the lead up to this?
00:19 Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good at the moment.
00:21 Yeah, obviously a bit nervous but more excited I guess to see what comes.
00:26 And yeah, my family's been very supportive of me and I think they're just as excited as me as well.
00:32 So yeah, it'll be interesting but yeah, fun and nervous at the same time.
00:37 And Cheegie, what are you thinking about your brother making the big time?
00:40 Yeah, I think it's really exciting.
00:42 I'm very proud of him.
00:44 So yeah, it's great.
00:45 He's worked really hard so it's good to see how far he's come and what he's achieved.
00:50 And yeah, like what he's on the verge of.
00:52 So yeah, it's really good.
00:54 And Marley?
00:55 Yeah, I'm really proud of Mundo.
00:57 He's worked real hard.
00:59 He deserves it.
01:01 Hopefully he gets picked up.
01:03 And yeah.
01:04 And Thomas, you've obviously seen him come through the ranks.
01:07 Yes, I'm very proud of him.
01:09 And I would like to thank all the clubs who made him as a player of today.
01:16 South Warrnambool Footy Club and Greater Western Region Rebels in Ballarat.
01:25 So really, and Bulldog too, as a next generation academy.
01:32 So there's many people who supported him in his following his dream.
01:43 So this comes the moment now that his dream is nearly coming true.
01:49 So when the dream comes true, it's a celebration for anybody supporting the player.
02:01 So wish him all the best.
02:03 And also those who are dropped prospects, we wish them all the best.
02:10 Whether you get picked or not picked, there are other options for life.
02:16 So don't put your head in the footy.
02:18 So what comes your way, take it.
02:21 And then explore other options or opportunities.
02:28 Thank you.
02:29 And Lamont, what does your family mean to you?
02:31 The support they've given you.
02:33 Yeah, my family means the world to me.
02:36 And I can't thank them enough.
02:37 And everything they've done for me, in particular Dad.
02:41 And what we've gone through as a family with the passing of Mum.
02:44 And just so grateful to have people like them surrounding me and having my life.
02:50 Because I don't know if I'd have this opportunity at the moment to play footy and pursue my dreams.
02:58 So yeah, extremely grateful for them in my family.
03:02 Thanks very much, everyone.
03:03 No worries.
