MercyShips Background

Community Correspondent Darryl Whitecross met Brie Weatherstone, the new president of QAFL State League Wilston Grange Gorillas Aussie Rules club as the senior players went through their final training drills on Thursday night on the brand new playing surface which is part of a $2 million upgrade of the ground and club facilities. 
By day she is a lawyer but after hours lives and breathes football. She is not only the first woman president at the Gorillas but the first woman president of any state league club.
As Darryl discovered, the inner northside Brisbane club has a big day planned on Saturday with several celebration functions planned. It's the Queensland Australian Football League season opener for the team and they're to play the 2015 QAFL premiers Labrador on a brand new playing surface.
