Budding young Modbury Football Club star Zachary Baliga is set to be the envy of his teammates after winning one of two major prizes in the Gather Round Giveaway.

Zachary, who was told of his exciting news by Crows stars Taylor Walker and Izak Rankine at Wednesday’s open training session, will be a special guest at Adelaide’s Thursday night Gather Round fixture against Carlton at Adelaide Oval.

Not only has he won four tickets to the game but he will also get to hear the pre-match address from Crows coach Matthew Nicks while also standing in the guard of honour as the Crows players emerge to confront the Blues from 7.10pm.

At half-time, Zachary will be able to put his skills on display when he takes part in the AFL Auskick matches on the hallowed turf of Adelaide Oval.

He will also receive an official AFL guernsey signed by Crows players and two SANFL season passes for the 2023 campaign.

A similar Major Prize will is also on offer for Port Adelaide’s Gather Round contest against the Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.
