In partnership with Major Partner, Citibank, the Swans players, as well as development coach, Nick Davis, gave the contestants an insight into the club and a briefing into what it’s like to get an address from the coaches in the rooms before the game.
All 18 were presented with their own Sydney Swans guernsey before running through a banner and taking to the hallowed turf of the SCG for a series of kicking, handballing and tackling drills led by the premiership winning trio.
Tourism Australia’s ‘Best Jobs in the World’ competition was open to entrants from around the world, so many of the final 18 had never had any contact with the game, but it didn’t stop them from displaying their best skills, especially on the Citibank Specky.

Speaking to SwansTV, Andrew Smith from Orange County, California, who is one of three finalists vying for the title of ‘Chief Funster’ in New South Wales, said it was a thrill for him to take part in the training drills.
“This has been a lot of fun; American Football is nothing like this," he said.
"The way you get the backspin on the (ball), the bump, going off the little gymnastic pad and tackling everything, it's great.
"My immediate thought ten minutes into (the training) was I would play this if I was here."
Pyke, who went from Canadian rugby player to premiership winning Sydney Swans ruckman, said there was plenty of talent amongst the 'Best Jobs in the World' crew.
"I think a couple of them look better than I did when I arrived," he said.
