Sporting Hilly’s No. 32 on her back, Tara ran out onto Patersons Stadium with Freo Dockers’ captain Matthew Pavlich for the game against the Eagles.
Thanks to

Q - What did you do when you found out you would be the
Docker 4 a Day?A - When my mum told me I was squealing and running around the house. I haven’t slept since!
Q - What was your inspiration for your acrostic poem?
A - I saw it on fremantlefc.com.au so I thought I’d give it a shot even though I didn’t think I would win because there would be millions of people doing it.
Q - Why is Stephen Hill your favourite player?
A - I used to like Scott Thornton and I cried when he retired. But then I started liking Stephen Hill when he joined the team.
Q - Did you enjoy getting a tour of the change rooms?
A - It was amazing. I put my shoe next to Aaron Sandilands’ boot and it was a big size difference!
