This event was sponsored by the Department of Sport and Recreation, Be-Active and the Bruce Rock P&C.

Davis was at his happiest signing autographs for the students, parents and local community members, signing almost anything which included hats, caps, shirts, Collingwood jumpers, school bags and even sheets of paper.

Local Be Active co-ordinator Rodney Thornton welcomed Davis to Bruce Rock and then opened to everyone a question and answer session with the students and parents.

Davis told everyone of his time growing up in Northam and being selected to go to Perth Football Clubs’ junior development squad and playing in the winning Teal Cup team before being drafted by Collingwood.

He loved coming home to WA to play in front of family and friends against both the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers.

He said he was a little disappointed he did not get drafted by either.

One of the younger students asked Davis if he had ever been tackled by Aaron Sandilands, to which he said, “I’m still standing!”

One parent asked what it would take to get him to play for Bruce Rock next year.

“A sausage sizzle each week might do,” Leon replied.

After the lunch break Leon held a football clinic for the students on the school oval.
