Jhett Broughton, 9, an Auskick participant for two years, and his friend Mia Bocquet, 6, were among the children in the crowd having a kick before the game started.
Jhett said he aspired to play for the AFL side Collingwood when he grew up so he could "mark and kick the goals".

Both children were here to see their dads Ash Broughton and Michael Bocquet umpire games.
