‘What happiness looks like’: The people behind footy’s feel-good video

In a week where AFL fans have headlined news bulletins for the wrong reasons, here was a timely reminder of the power of footy for good.

Melbourne had just defeated Hawthorn in a Saturday afternoon thriller when key player James Harmes was handed a football to give to fans.

He made a beeline for a young man wearing Harmes’s no.4 on his back.

The result?

“This is what happiness looks like.”
