When you play football for a living, you quickly realise that most people in the broader community struggle to appreciate that what you do during a game isn’t necessarily who you really are.

What happens on the footy field each week is really only a small slice of the whole picture. Each of the boys has interests and hobbies that take them well away from the MCG, helping them to grow and become whole people.

It may, therefore, surprise many people that Harbour Finance has chosen to financially support the Melbourne International Arts Festival for the season of 2007.

We are all richer as a community by being able to see each other with fresh eyes. We urge you to take the opportunity to see yourself differently by being in the audience this October when this years Melbourne International Arts Festival comes to town.
