MC Abby Coleman
Abby is a familiar voice as the co-host of B105’s number-one breakfast show “Stav, Abby and Matt”. Brisbane’s girl-next-door, the mum who didn’t read the manual, the gal who loves a laugh but knows that a quiet moment can change a life. With her down-to-earth and relatable personality, Abby approaches motherhood with honesty, humour, and a whole lot of exhaustion. Her unique style and flair keep listeners entertained and informed as they start their day. Beyond her work on the radio, Abby is a proud supporter of the Brisbane Lions, holding the coveted position of the team’s number-one ticket holder.
Growing up with two older brothers and now raising three boys with her tradie husband Scotty, Abby’s life is filled with activity and adventure. Being a Villa mum, Abby is honoured to once again be the MC for this year’s Sports Lunch.

Dayne Zorko
Professional AFL Player - Brisbane Lions
A five-time Merritt-Murray Medial winner, 2017 & 2024 All-Australian and former Club captain, and now 2024 Premiership Player - there are few accomplishments Dayne Zork hasn’t achieved in Lions colours.
After relinquishing the captaincy at the beginning of 2023, Zorko was one of Brisbane’s most consistent performers following the trend of his career after he was plucked from QAFL in 2012. Playing roles across half-back, half-forward and through the midfield, Zorko’s energy and ball use will be key to success for the Lions this season.
Jesse Williams
Super Bowl Champion
Jesse ‘Tha Monstar’ Williams is a Super Bowl champion with Seattle Seahawks and twotime National Championship winner with the University of Alabama. Born in Brisbane, his journey to the NFL is a powerful story of determination, resilience, and high performance under pressure.
Off the field, Jesse overcame a life-threatening cancer diagnosis, drawing on inner strength and strong personal values to navigate adversity.
Since retiring from professional football, Jesse has continued to give back to the game and his community. Through his foundation, First Step, he supports and mentors the next generation of aspiring athletes pursuing football pathways in the U.S. As a speaker, Jesse shares his journey with audiences across schools, sports teams, and corporate organisations, inspiring others to lead with purpose, perform under pressure, and rise through life’s toughest moments.
