Mabior's journey to the AFL ...

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-12-03/mabiors-journey-to-the-afl* I started playing footy at the age of 12, at school first. We had a really good team there, went through to the final, which was played at the Gabba. I was amazed playing in a really big stadium. I was like, oh wow, why can’t I just join a footy club next year! So, I just took my footy there and I’ve never stopped playing it ever since.
* After playing for the World 18 (at the national under-16 championships in 2013), that really gave me a lot of confidence in my footy ability. And then, I got taken by the Brisbane Lions’ Academy and I never looked back. Just wanted to make it to the highest point I can.
* My goal for this year is to work really hard, get to know the boys very well, not just in footy but outside footy as well.
* I’ve actually gone pretty well [since arriving at Tigerland], better than I thought I would have, having to come as an 18-year-old to a football club, not knowing a lot of players. I think I’ve settled pretty well so far.
