Bailey Haskins from the Yass Junior Roos was given the opportunity of a lifetime on the weekend. He was one of two official Sydney Swans mascots to lead the team onto Manuka Oval. Bailey ran through the specially made banner before going through the team stretches alongside Sydney Swans Full Forward Barry Hall. Coach Paul Roos stopped for a quick chat with the two mascots before heading to the coach’s box. Bailey would like to thank Actew AGL, the Yass Junior Roos and his family for giving him the opportunity to be the Swans mascot.
