COLLINGWOOD is kicking goals on and off the field in 2007.
The AFL team regularly sends out its players to primary schools throughout the Casey region.
And it was the turn of Fountain Gate Primary School students recently to score a visit from Brodie Holland and Alan Toovey.
Both the boys and girls school football teams fired questions at the two Magpie players before having a kick of the footy with their new idols.
After the skills session, the youngsters were lucky enough to get an autograph from the players and chat to them about the ups and downs of being an AFL player.
