about

"Full Wingspan" is an ode to one of the most special, yet most underappreciated facets of the great game of Australian Rules Football;

The Shepherd.

Inspired in part by Liam Picken's heroic Grand Final shepherd in 2016, "Full Wingspan" is dedicated to everyone that has ever provided a shepherd to protect a teammate. An act of selflessness and friendship - of putting the team first.

This also marks the first collaboration with Yeh Goodboy Goodboy Good Footy Energies' Brad Hollis, whom I thank sincerely for the fun lyrical inspiration!

May ball-carriers in all codes and at all levels Australia-wide feel the confidence to run and carry, knowing that someone has your back.

Always go full wingspan, Shepherd..

lyrics

Lyrics

Always go full wingspan, Shepherd..
(Nurture your young just like a bird)
I will keep you safe, my son.
(Care for you like a sheperd to the herd)

Always go full wingspan, Shepherd..
(Nurture your young just like a bird)
I will protect you,
Keep you safe from harm.

Wingspaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Full wingspan.

Always go full wingspan, Shepherd..
(Nurture your young just like a bird)
I will keep you safe, my son.
(Care for you like a sheperd to the herd)

Always go full wingspan, Shepherd..
(Nurture your young just like a bird)
I will protect you,
Keep you safe from harm.

It's upto you.
Spread your wings.
Like an Albatross.
