Macleay Valley Eagles president Paul Lang was excited to have the Swans players host a training session and believes it helps spark interest in the sport.
"We are a region that doesn't have the largest supporter base for AFL but it's good to see the Swans club send players to help create more supporters," Lang said.
"It's good for the kids to meet professional players and they realise that they were once kids with a dream and that it is possible."
The Macleay Valley Eagles are still taking on junior registrations for the 2019 season. Contact the club for more information.
