Lachlan Woods - Trainee

Hi I’m Lachlan Woods, a year 12 student at Brisbane State High School currently doing my Cert III at Fitnance, which has been really enjoyable and a great experience so far. I play a number of different sports with my main sport being AFL. I play for the Western Magpies and have done for the past 7 years. This year I have started the U18 season and have been lucky enough to be called up to play for the Senior and Reserve teams at the club. I have also been lucky enough to be called up by the Brisbane Lions and asked to play in the Lions Reserves team at the Gabba as the pre game to the Brisbane Lions vs Western Bulldogs match. The chance to play at the Gabba was huge but to be able to play for the Lions Reserves at the same time was massive, so as you can imagine I accepted without any hesitation. From the warm up to the warm down, it was an awesome experience, whilst being coached by former Brisbane Lion, Craig McRae for the day. We ended up losing our game to the reigning premiers Morningside but the experience was one I will never forget.
