“The Players’ Association is a fantastic organisation and I’m really excited about the position,” says McInerney.

“I’m grateful for everything La Trobe has taught me also,” he says.

“Given that it’s the only university in Australia to offer a sports journalism degree, it was a no-brainer to do the course.”
