Roos bounce in

Roos legend Glenn Archer and teammates Jess Sinclair, Jade Rawlings and Jonathan Hay joined Gippsland Power coach Paul Hudson for the skills session at Toomuc Reserve.
Students from local primary schools jumped at the chance to rub shoulders with the Kangaroos.
Players signed autographs and posed for photographs during the visit.
