TRARALGON Centre Plaza couldn’t let Geelong and Sydney fans have all the fun during AFL Grand Final week.
Essendon ruckman Sam Draper stopped by the centre last Thursday for a meet and greet with fans.
The 23-year-old, who recently won AFL Goal of the Year, generously stood for photos and signed autographs for the 500-strong crowd.
The centre gave away a life-size cut-out of Draper, which he thought was pretty funny, asking to get a photo of him with it.
There is an AFL Store within TCP, and AFL Store owner John Ryan was the one to select
Draper for the public appearance.
With the public holiday falling on Thursday, the visit gave footy fans of all ages the chance to come and meet their hero.
TCP has hosted a number of AFL events in recent months, with the 2021 AFL premiership cup even making its way to the centre.
Geelong fans will be hoping the 2022 instalment can find its way to little old Traralgon in the near future.
