New signings Lucas Pantelis and Jimmy Downey, along with established striker Chris Greenacre, met their young fans by taking part in a mock media conference at Raroa Intermediate School today.
The trio spent an hour being questioned by members of a sports journalism class from years seven and eight with both sides enjoying themselves.
There were serious questions along with amusing moments, like when Chris Greenacre was asked how many times he peed before a game.
The question brought laughter, but Greenacre composed himself to explain his feelings while preparing for games without actually handing down a figure!
The budding journos showed they had prepared well by asking a wide range of questions which were answered candidly by the players.
While the 12 and 13-year-old students were keen to know which players Downey, Greenacre and Pantelis themselves admired, and which were the best grounds they had played on, they also questioned their guests on what the Phoenix had to do to improve on previous years.
Greenacre thoroughly enjoyed himself, describing the school visit as one of the best he had made.
“It was fantastic. When the first couple of questions came I almost believed I was at a real press conference.
