Terrific Article in todays Age on Flash and his brother and Mum.

Rings very true as Aaron has shown maturity and level headedness from the time he first came to MFC. A class act off as well as on the field.

Lizzie will be justifyably proud of both sons.

My boys, Matt, Ooze (No 13) and Anthony very proud of him too.

Thanks for the link TonyM. After reading that I would think Lizzie is a shoe in to win the award. What a fantastic lady to have raised 5 kids largely on her own and be able to see two of them playing at the elite level.

Obviously an amazing lady - she should be proud of her boys!

an amazing lady obviously.

i don't understand the use, by journalists, of the phrase 'he ran and goaled'. goaled is not a verb. it should be either, 'he ran and scored' or 'he ran and kicked a goal'. its poor english and is coming from people who should know better.

(this all comes from a person with an apparent allergy to capital letters )

Congratulations to Lizzie, she was just named mother of the year on the footy show.

Very Well Deserved!!

It's within the AFL I'm pretty sure, and well done to her.

To raise the kids on her own, must have been very difficult. If you watched the Footy Show, they read out the application form that Aaron and Alwyn sent in. It was a really good indication of how much they love and appriciate everything she has done for them.

Ok thats fine. No rant needed lol. Good work to her, she deserves it

Well done Lizzie for raising some very fine football playing sons, and raising them on your own

You have deserved this award for the player's mother of the year

And good on Aaron and Alwyn for loving their mum so much they would recommend this to her

her last name is corrie, whilst i know aaron and alwyns arent brothers with anothy corrie from brisbane, might be a close cousin?
