Game Day Sponsor - EnergyAustralia

EnergyAustralia will have their usual Power Kick and Power Hit games in the Southern Plaza, plus a couple of players will be making a special visit to the EA zone at 2.45 – pop in and give them a challenge!
As part of the Power to End Hunger campaign, Foodbank has also chosen one lucky student to kick a goal for a $10,000 Foodbank donation in front of the crowd, before the game.
