Rory meets the West Coast Eagles


Rory and Westcoast Eagles Star, Chris Judd.


Eight year old Richmond supporter, Rory Matthews, was overwhelmed by Westcoast Eagles support last weekend at the MCG.


The Eagles heard of Rory's catapault to international fame when television and newspaper coverage stretched across the globe about his unusual training routine.

What a Training Partner!

Little Rory Matthews doesn't have any brothers or sisters to play footy with – so he trains with an alpaca, a dog, a pig and a cockatoo.


And they have turned the once-timid footballer into a tackling machine.


The energetic eight-year-old, who lives on The Children's Animal Farm at Tarneit in Victoria, trains every day with his animal friends.


"Chicky" the alpaca tackles Rory at every opportunity while border collie Jet retrieves the balls.
