00:00 We're here with the Stephens family ahead of the AFL draft next week with George hoping
00:04 to be picked up.
00:05 Can you introduce yourselves?
00:07 I'm Jimmy.
00:08 I'm Archie.
00:09 I'm Nat.
00:10 I'm Matilda.
00:11 I'm Sam.
00:12 And I'm George.
00:13 And George, can you tell us a little bit what your family means to you?
00:18 Yeah, family is certainly everything to me.
00:21 They've been there all throughout my life, but in particular now my footy journey and
00:27 that's probably what's coming up for me now.
00:30 These guys have been full of support for me all through this year in particular.
00:35 It's been noticeable when I'm going through some busy times this year that I turn to my
00:39 family when I need them most and they're always there for me.
00:41 They mean so much to me in many different ways as well.
00:45 They're so important to me.
00:47 Thank you.
00:48 Guys, tell us a little bit about George.
00:50 Well, yeah, George works very hard for all his goals and especially with school he's
00:56 always studying and making the best out of the time he gets.
01:01 And especially with all the footy stuff, he doesn't get much time to do a lot of studying
01:05 but when he does, he makes the best of it.
01:11 Now George is quite a funny lad so there's probably no one else I'd rather spend my time
01:17 with but on the footy side of things, no, he's certainly got the most out of himself
01:24 and I'm really proud of him.
01:29 So I would say that George is so many things to so many people and there is so much to
01:38 feel proud of and football is just one of them.
01:41 So yeah, he's awesome.
01:45 I would say I'm very proud of George and excited for him because I look up to him so
01:50 much with everything he does, just the person he is and how hard he works for everything.
01:57 So yeah, very excited for him.
02:00 Yeah, probably just taken off from where Nat started from in regards to we've always probably
02:05 preached to our kids, playing or being good at sport is one thing but to be a good person
02:11 is even more important.
02:12 So thankfully George has been able to tick both those boxes for all our kids to be honest
02:17 but yeah, George certainly has.
