One didn’t have to look too skyward to see the Bombers fly up on Monday.

During their visit to Shepparton, Essendon Football Club AFL players Kyle Langford and Kaine Baldwin, along with Victorian Wheelchair Football League players Caleb Logan and Adam Goregelin, stopped by Verney Road School.

It marked a significant day for the students as they relished the opportunity to meet the sporting talents, engage in a Q&A and run through some drills.

News journalist Taylah Baker was in attendance to capture the Dons taking flight while the students were put through their paces.
