I am willing to bet Tommy has no ****ing idea what this lady is saying.

Love his footy though........



Tommy: "....so that's how you open those little orange juices without spilling them"
 
In a strange turn of events, I was just walking to the local pool and I saw a load of school kids get off a bus ahead. Was about to take the long route to avoid the crowd but saw some teachers standing by a nearby shed so figured it safe to head straight through the ferals :) ...

As I get a little closer I see they look marginally more like men than boys ..

Next thing, I see tommy bell and most of the carlton footy team walking straight at me. (Less intimidating than the school kids).

By chance I was wearing my CfC hat and I go to Army while pointing at my hat "this is pure coincidence" ... He goes "that's it mate" ... Clearly didn't take in a word of what I'd said.

Running a footy clinic with local school kids.

Admittedly it may not seen such a strange turn in a country town like Shep, but that's the real twist ... It's in Seymour ... A happenin' place I tells ya!

* teachers were fellow onlookers

Carlton Footy Clinic Wrap:

- Was hangin to see DVR's left boot, so was shattered when he sat on his arse for ages. Eventually got involved. Was a little disappointed with some of his kicks coming up short, especially given they only needed to travel 3 metres. Not sure about his future on an AFL size field.

- Liam Jones showed that he doesn't mind the old cheap shot, making sure that he gave each kid a hit on the noggin after they turned their backs on him and his hip'n'shoulder bag to run to the back of the queue. Relentless. Hit them 100% of the time.

- Tom Bell absolutely sprayed a kick and nearly took out an unsuspecting 7 year old when trying to hit Liam Jones in the back of the head. Liam Jones was also totally unaware. Daisy got much closer.

- Hendo, who was leader of a group of 6 year olds, decided to get involved in the drill for a laugh and caused chaos and confusion amongst his group. The other players had the last laugh though, announcing that Hendo's team came last.

- Daisy flicked up a ball up with his boot, only for it to crack him in the nuts. Almost down for the count.

- Other questions from the kids (Jammo running the show)

"How many Grand Finals have you lost?" J: None, so that's a positive.
"Who are you most scared of from Melbourne?" Someone: Dawes
"Who are you most scared of from Hawthorn?" .. J: No one
"Who are you most scared of from Richmond?" ... J: No one... We're not scared of any other players so let's leave that.
"Where's Chris Judd?" ... Team points at Shane Rogers

On a slightly serious note, the guys were quite enthusiastic and involved. It was good to see. Even at a clinic like this you can see the skill of some vs others ... eg. Daisy was doing some tricks with footy in hand and boot that 99% of the team wouldn't be able to do, I'm guessing.

Few Carlton jumpers on the kids. They were hilarious. So excited and giving it everything.

Great post. Thanks.

After the clinic, three of the kids told the journos they had never been hit on the noggin so hard. Also mentioned that Jones was clinic-ing the house down.

I didn't hear the whole exchange, but thought I heard the term 'explosive beast'. Not sure if the kid was talking about Jones or the horror story he wrote for homework....
