I am an Intergration Aide and work at St.Peters Primary School in West Sunshine. Today I attended a Footy Clinic @ Yarraville Oval. You'll never guess who were running it, that's right The Western Bulldogs.
The Dogs players in attendance were Paul Dooley, Steve Bertz? and some Irish recruit from county Cork called Bernie. It was a great day, I certainly had plenty of fun. The kids were put through Drills, Kicking, Handballing, Marking and Goal kicking. It was quite professionally run and all 3 players did a good job.
However my favourite part of the day was the question time. The kids asked things like "What was the game against Hawthorn like?", "Did you win verses Collingwood?" and "Are you in the 8?" I must admit it was a litte funny to watch them squirm as they said things like "The Hawthorn game wasn't that much fun", "D'ya mean the one where Collingwood kicked all those goals in the last qtr" and "no we're not in the 8, we're 10th I think". I also took the opportunity to ask Dooley if he thought he'd be playing this weekend, he said "Well Darcy's coming back this week so I dunno" Thats when I told him I was a Dees fan, he just laughed and said "I probably shouldn't have said anything"
