Danyle Pearce: Good morning, how is everyone?
It’s great that I get to blog Live with you today and I’m looking forward to hearing your questions and how you’re going with the Aboriginal Power Cup program this year.
This is a huge week for you and I hope you’re all getting as excited about the Aboriginal Power Cup carnival as I am. No doubt you will be seeing me around and I look forward to seeing some of the action this Friday and over the weekend.
To be enrolled in the APC program, I believe is a huge step for you towards gaining all those important life / work skills that you need. Playing AFL football has been my dream, but I know it’ll only last a certain time and I’m looking forward to the next chapter in my life after football. I’m currently at Uni studying teaching, so that is my goal heading forward in life. Remember to always have a back-up plan!
So tell me what some of the things you most enjoyed this year about the APC program? I would love to hear about your success stories.
We play the Kangaroos this Sunday and I can’t wait to get on the field against them and get that all important win.
This will be the 1st opportunity for some of you to watch us play live, so I hope you enjoy yourselves and you soak up all the atmosphere.
Be cheering loud for us.
Pearcey
PS I'll be on the blog from 12.30 pm to 1.30 pm today to chat with you live ....

I’m really excited to be blogging Live with you today and looking forward to hearing your questions and how you’re going with the Aboriginal Power Cup program this year.
You must be getting excited about the Aboriginal Power Cup carnival starting 1 week from today. I’ll hopefully be around to see you and spend some time with you and I hope you really enjoy yourself at the Port Adelaide Football Club.
I was thrilled to spend time with the students from Christies Beach and Warriappendi recently and love what this program teaches you. I particularly have an interest in this because I would like to introduce this type of program back to my homeland of Fiji and provide my people with a similar opportunity. Fantastic concept!!
I also love that you talk about your culture and you want to learn more about it. I think it’s very important that you know who you are and who your people are, which is what I like to talk about with the kids of Fiji. Keep learning as much as you can, because one day you’ll have to pass on all that knowledge to your children and grandchildren.
We’re playing the West Coast Eagles this week and I unfortunately I can’t play because of my recent knee injury, but I’m confident the boys will do well over there and hopefully we get a win.
I hope you’re all cheering for us!

Hey there my people, what’s everyone up to?
It’s not long now to the APC carnival and I can’t wait to see the footy action from you mob. Like my cousin Marlon said last week, I wish I had this program at my school, as I think it’s great that you get to play footy (my favourite thing to do obviously) but you also get to learn so much about life.
This year I’ve been really conscious about living healthily and it’s definitely paying off. I had heaps of energy for Sunday’s game against Carlton and I know it helped me play well. Unfortunately we went down, but I know we are getting close to playing some great football and beating some of the top clubs in the AFL.
I had a great pasta for tea the night before the game, made with low fat mince and lots of chopped vegies – what do you Power Cup guys think is a good healthy meal before a big match?’
I would love to hear from you and I will respond to your questions as soon as I can.
It’s time for our main training session, so I gotta go and get prepared.
Talk soon nungas

I'm really excited to be blogging with you today and looking forward to hearing about your journey throughout the Aboriginal Power Cup program this year.
How great is the Aboriginal Power Cup that you get to go to school and learn lots of useful life and work skills, as well as playing a bit of football! I wish I had this program at my school!
My advice is staying focussed at school and committed to submitting all of your curriculum tasks and doing them well. By doing this not only do you get to play in the carnival in Adelaide next month but you'll be learning things like goal setting, career opportunities, team work and the importance of a healthy lifestyle which will help you get 10 SACE credits!
Did you know I am currently studying at university in Real Estate and hoping to have a qualification within 2 years. There are a lot of players at the Power who have enrolled at Uni to undertake other courses, cause as you know, AFL only last a certain amount of time and we all have to start thinking about our futures after footy.
I really enjoyed my time with the Le Fevre and Ocean View students on the Aboriginal Power Cup school visit the other week. Who would have thought I used to get really nervous talking to an audience! I've learned by watching other people and practising that's it's not so scary, it really is just a conversation. Depending on who I'm talking to I have to use the right language and always make sure I stand up tall and proud which makes me look and feel confident.
Any way, let me know what you have been doing at school with your team mates to prepare for the Aboriginal Power Cup.
We're playing Carlton this week and I can't wait! It's going to be a good match I hope you're all cheering for us!

Heyy Pearcy, How are you Bruhh.....
Now that the Power Cup is nearly complete my favourite memory would have been playing football for JPSS and being team captian. I felt I had a lot of responsibilty and it gave me a chance to show my leadership. I also kick a goal which was a huge highlght for me as i can't really kick goals. hahaha
