A whole new game
Footballers aren't necessarily good at everything and NMFC.com.au has proof.
On the second day of the club's community camp, Scott McMahon, Trent Dumont, Robbie Tarrant, Taylor Garner and Levi Greenwood visited the Ballarat South Senior Citizens Centre and were shown up by some locals.
Carpet bowls, line dancing and card games were the order of the day with McMahon and Turner quick to show their moves on the dance floor.
McMahon also met his match with the senior citizens while trying his hand at carpet bowls.

"The skipper was telling me she wasn't too happy with my lack of technique and where I was bowling it, so she came down and smacked me on the bottom with the stick," he said.
"So I thought it was probably my time to leave the bowls."
Meanwhile on the billiards table, Aaron Black defeated Robbie Tarrant during the break for morning tea.
For youngster Dumont, it was a marked change from his first-year players camp in Hobart just a couple of weeks ago.
"This has been a lot more relaxed than Hobart. Today with carpet bowls, it's just a bit different to mountain biking down a hill at Mount Wellington. There, it was pretty rough and a little scary at the best of times.
"It's been a good chance to get out in the community of Ballarat, teach people a few things and bring joy to their faces. Coming out to Ballarat is essential for our club to keep growing in the future."
Perhaps the highlight of the day was a new name gifted to Greenwood. Formerly known as 'Pig', he's now being referred to as 'Graham'.
"Levi was giving his name to someone who wanted a photo of him. She asked him for his name and when he replied 'Levi Greenwood', she didn't hear 'Levi' and just got Graham out of 'Greenwood'.
"So then she replied with, 'Alright Graham, what's your last name?' and since then Robbie Tarrant has run with it. The whole senior club was cheering him on as 'Graham'."
