Checkside Chats with Harper Montgomery and Andrew Capel

It started as a clothing label, now it is a vital movement. 

Something in the Water (STW) is the brainchild of Woodville-West Torrens recruit Harper Montgomery, who is now championing the ultra-important mental health cause.

Returning to Adelaide after spending time in Sydney with GWS’ VFL team, the 21-year-old has developed his company to offer a ”safe space” for teenage boys and young men to open up about the daily challenges they face.

Whether it be a sunrise session of yoga on the beach or a run club, STW is a passion of Montgomery’s and there are few better environments than a football club to galvanise support.

The Eagles and their Round 6 Hostplus SANFL League opponent Glenelg, have got behind Montgomery by sporting blue armbands in this weekend’s Men’s, Women’s and Reserves encounters at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

Joining SANFL’s Zac Milbank and The Advertiser’s Andrew Capel in the studio, the son of Port Adelaide premiership defender Brett Montgomery also reveals the secrets behind his team’s flawless 5-0 start to the season and what makes coach Sam Jacobs such a popular figure at Oval Avenue.
