The western bulldogs kicked off their community camp in Canberra today, visiting schools throughout the ACT.

The players met hundreds of local primary school children and took time out ahead of Sundays NAB Cup clash against Brisbane at Manuka Oval, to answer some tough questions from the captive audiences.

"They actually caught me off guard with a couple of questions! But seriously it was a really good experience and meeting the local youngsters was fantastic. They are very interested in the AFL and the Bulldogs, so we all had a great time," Captain Brad Johnson said.

The players have a busy schedule ahead of Sunday’s game, with more school and hospital visits on the agenda.

While Friday night (February 12), the Western Bulldogs will hold two NAB AFL Auskick Super Clinics from 5.00 till 6.00pm, details below:
