Ex-Fremantle player and current North Melbourne development coach Michael Barlow was greeted at Deakin Reserve by a pack of keen and smiling young footballers, joined in tow by two-time Collingwood premiership winner Steele Sidebottom and Werribee assistant coach Matt Dowling.

Those who attended were put through their paces by two of the finest footballers the Goulburn Valley has produced, with Barlow (Shepparton United) and Sidebottom (Tallygaroopna) giving the kids a taste of what elite application can lead to.
