Dragons' AFL adventurer

2020 is a short season and every game counts.

Marni Williams is one of their newest members and was also a competitor in the Bear Grylls ten-episode 'World's Toughest Race Eco-Challenge Fiji' that aired on Amazon last week.

Williams was part of the Team Scouts Australia and was made up of Myall Quint, Bernard Cronan, Ben Warner, Marni Williams and Brett Johnson. Together they have two decades in Scouting and all hail from St George and Sutherland Shire areas.

Scouting introduced Williams and her team to the outdoors when they were young and their experiences as leaders in running activities for kids have served them well as a team.

When Williams finished the race in her "recovery" period, she joined the St George AFC Div 3 premiership team with her friend Hannah Ascoli.

Ascoli always spoke positively about the game and the club. Williams and her sister Rae are now Dragons and in doing so has shaken off the post-race slump.

Williams says the knowledge of how important it is to have a solid team around you when you're trying something new and to learn early how to rely on each other because you never know what's coming and everyone has peaks and dips.

"I've taken that with me into my new sport, I think the approach is the same whether you're racing in a team of four, playing in a team of 20, or managing players from the sideline," she said
