The Suncorp Super Netball league’s Melbourne Vixens netball team came to Parliament House on Thursday night, prompting many photos and selfies with the politicians.
“Great to catch up with the very tall Melbourne Vixens,” Ms Kealy posted on Facebook, along with a photo of herself and six players.
Included in the photo was GS and GK player Kadie-Ann Dehaney, standing at six foot three, and GA Tegan Philip, at five foot eight.
Despite Ms Kealy’s use of heels, it was a mismatch.
Ms Kealy followed up with a selfie with a person in a fox costume.
“I think best I can hope for in Vixens squad is the mascot,” Ms Kealy said.
One of Ms Kealy’s Facebook followers suggested she try out for a centre position.
