Ex Katunga junior, now highly acclaimed football author Dan Eddy will be the compere of the night and will share his story about his mental health issues and diagnosis with Asperger’s Syndrome. Dan has gone on to become one of the most prolific Australian non fiction authors publishing 12 highly regarded books including “King Richard – the story of Essendon legend Dick Reynolds”, “Crimmo – the Peter Crimmins story”, “Larrikins and Legends”, “the Norm Smith medallists” and “the Skills of Australian football” to name just a few. Dan has also recently launched his new book “A Football Genius: The Peter Hudson Story”.

Dan will be joined by former Australian rules footballer in the AFL. Dustin Fletcher played 400 games for the Essendon Football Club and was recently inducted into the EFC hall of fame as a legend of the club. Dustin’s 400 games stands as the fifth highest in VFL/AFL history. He is one of the best defenders to have played the game and was a key player in the 1993 and 2000 premierships. Dustin’s career longevity in the game of 22 years and 58 days is the all time league record. He played this 400th AFL game in round 9 – 2015 at age of 40 years and 23 days which makes him the second oldest player by age in AFL/VFL history!

Netball Hall of Fame inductee and former Australian Vice-Captain Shelley O’Donnell will join Dan and Dustin. A prolific Centre, O’Donnell’s record both playing and coaching speaks for itself. She formed part of the Word Cup winning Australian teams in 1991, 1995 and 1999 the latter as Vice-Captain.

In an internation career spanning 10 years O’Donnell represented her country on 84 occasions, further to this she was also the inaugural captain of the Melbourne Kestrels between 1997-2000.
