“Who’s the easiest team you play against?” Billy, a kindergarten student from Malabar Public School, asked of Nick Malceski and Ben McGlynn yesterday afternoon.

That the particularly loaded question came from the six year old son of Swans’ coach John Longmire made it all the more difficult for the pair to answer.

A very diplomatic “there are no easy opponents in the AFL” is the response and the boys release a sigh of relief.

Billy’s was  just one of many curly questions Swans players had to encounter on their Team SWANS school visits throughout the afternoon.

The visits saw Swans players going out into the local communities in the south, east and north of metropolitan Sydney, as well as the regional centres of Wagga Wagga, Coffs Harbour and Wollongong in the Illawarra.

SwansTV’s camera followed Sam Reid, Tom Mitchell and Rhyce Shaw to Daceyville Public School, where the trio answered a series of questions from the school’s AFL team - many about Sam’s height - before going for a kick with the kids in the yard.

Daceyville PS captain Chris said he enjoyed the experience of the Swans players coming to the school and showing off some of their skills.

“Today was great. Thanks for coming, we enjoyed you kicking the ball into the hoop and it was a great time,” Chris told Sam Reid. “All of you are great!”

Swans co-captain Adam Goodes and midfielder Dan Hannebery were a hit in Wagga Wagga where they visited four schools over the course of the day. The dynamic duo passed on key messages to the kids on healthy eating, leadership, and the advantages of having a balance between sport and education. They were also more than happy to pose for snaps with a long line of eager photographers.

Likewise, Matt Spangher and new Swans’ recruit Tony Armstrong made the drive down to the Illawarra to speak to parents and children from the local indigenous community about the role of education and the support they had received from the their parents along the journey.

McGlynn said the school visits were  always a great part of the Team SWANS program and he had been impressed by the enthusiasm the Malabar youngster had shown for the game.

“It’s always good coming to schools, I can relate to the kids because we’re all similar heights,” he told SwansTV. “The two captains represented the school very well and the kids were terrific.”
