Essendon ruckman David Hille says the club’s two day community camp this week gave the players a chance to show their appreciation for the support from the Goldfields region.

The Bombers two day camp through Maryborough, Castlemaine and Kyneton included a number of community and school visits as well as kids clinics.

“We were there for a couple of days, speaking to some kids and doing a few other activities which was really good fun,” Hille said.

“It is good to remind yourself of the support you have right around the state.”

“You sometimes get stuck in Melbourne and something like this reminds you there is support for you everywhere, which is a really positive thought to be able to have.”

Hille addressed year 8 and 9 students at Maryborough Education Centre on day one of the camp and said it was rewarding experience.

“Hopefully they can take something away from it whether it is about diet, getting involved in sport or keeping active and then they are able to respond to that,” he said

“You just want to give them a positive response to their questions and give them an idea of what is involved in our lives.”

Great to see the boys looking after fans, though an open training session would have been great for south east QLD members/fans when they spent a week on the goldie. Hopefully we get one when they play at Metricon!!!!!

.... And a lesson for the Bomber boys, featuring the aforementioned precious metallic element, courtesy of Spandau Ballet, "Gold, Always believe in your soul, You've got the power to know, You're indestructible, Always believe in, because you are Gold."

David, I like the attitude of the club towards expanding the clubs' profile as it would be quite easy to become insular within the group. David great to hear of your training regime. Have an AWESOME season, we so need you.

Spot on Tom Christie, fantastic opportunity missed given they didn't have an open session when they came to Brisbane in 2011 and didn't do any public appearances when they were on the GC....here's hoping for a chance to see them in 2012
