On Monday, February 5, Matt Guelfi, Harry Jones and Dyson Heppell paid a visit to Orrvale Primary School to meet the students.

They answered questions and even asked some of their own, quizzing the students on their footy knowledge and handing out prizes.

News journalist Djembe Archibald went along to soak up the fun.
