After arriving in Maryborough earlier this morning, the players and coaching staff enjoyed hospital and school community visits in the wider Maryborough region extending to Castlemaine.
Several hundred young Bomber fans enjoyed the opportunity to have a kick with their football heroes at the Princes Park in Maryborough for the AFL Auskick Super Clinic, whilst securing their favourite players’ autographs.
Hometown hero Stewart Crameri spent much of the day mixing in with the adoring locals, after receiving a warm welcome at the Civic Reception in the city centre.
From there, the players were split up for two formal function evenings, hosted in both Maryborough and Castlemaine with guest speakers including senior assistant coach Mark Thompson and captain Jobe Watson.
Day two will involve a number of community school and hospital visits as well as a Super Clinic in the Castlemaine and Kyneton regions.
