Iraq Recruit
Mick Malthouse the coach of Collingwood Magpies gets wind of potential young
recruit who lives in Iraq. Malthouse and the Magpies recruiting Manager
catch a plane to the troubled Iraq capital Baghdad and track the young boy
down.
They risk life and limb dodging car bombs, bullets and grenades but finally
find him and convince him to come to Australia.
The boy does a full pre-season, plays all the practice matches and gets
picked on the bench in the seniors for the first game of the year.
Ten minutes into the first quarter, Nathan Buckley goes down with a severe
knee injury. Malthouse turns to the boy and says "This is it son, go to the
centre half forward and show us what you can do."
The boy proceeds to play the greatest debut game in AFL history. He kicks 9
goals, takes mark of the year, and kicks the winning goal after the siren
from outside 50.
The Magpies chair him off the ground and give him three cheers back in the
rooms. Malthouse tells the team what the boy from Iraq has been through and
he is a model lesson for all.
Malthouse then pulls the boy aside and says "Go into my office son , ring
your Mother and tell her what you did today."
He proceeds to do so. "Mum", he says down the phone, "Guess what I did
today?"
"I don't care what you did today." His Mother replies. "I tell you what
happened here today", she goes on. "Your Dad was stabbed and robbed, our
house was torched, our car blown up, your sister was attacked and your brother was
abducted."
"Gee" says the boy. "I feel a bit responsible for what happened."
The Mother replies "So you should be, if it wasn't for you we would never
have shifted to Collingwood."
