Is Glenn going to talk about killing animals on game reserves in Africa ? Or building a brand on your own name when the funds could be better channeled into supporting established BC charities rather than celebrating your own ego? Oh, i guess he is there to talk about his brand.

Hi Cynic,

What Glenn and Francis will be talking about is outlined here: https://staging.mumbrella.com.au/sports?id=sessions-on-the-program-so-far#session-glenn-mcgrath-on-engaging-both-on-and-off-field

But I feel you may have been exercising your wit and sarcasm.

As always, Mumbrella encourages debate and individual opinion. If you are keen to have your questions answered by the man himself, I would encourage you to attend the day and put your hand up during the session.

There will be plenty more on the day to see as well.
