ADELAIDE'S Andrew McLeod helped the Qantas Indigenous All-Stars hand his club a football lesson at TIO Stadium on Saturday night, but was on the other side of the teacher’s desk in Darwin last week.

McLeod and All-Stars teammates Chris Yarran and Cruize Garlett paid a visit to Anula Primary School – McLeod's old stomping ground – during their time in the Top End.

The 32-year-old was surprised at the sight of his old school.

"It was almost a bit surreal going back there … I hadn’t been back since I graduated in 1988," McLeod told afc.com.au.

"When you’re a kid everything looks so big, but coming back as an adult I couldn't believe how tiny the school really was.

"It was strange to think it had always been that size."

The popular trio chatted with Anula students before heading outside for a kick and a catch. The teaching staff also presented McLeod with a copy of his year five school photo.

"I looked pretty weird," he said with a laugh.

The visit was one of many conducted by the All-Stars during their time in Darwin; players headed out to schools, hospitals and communities throughout the Northern Territory.

McLeod rejoined his Adelaide teammates on Sunday, but left it to leaders Simon Goodwin, Ben Rutten and others to go head-to-head with 'Burt' at Crocosaurus Cove.

The brave Crows entered a reinforced cage and were lowered into a tank where Burt was waiting.

But they'll be hoping they don’t spot any crocs on their McLeod-led fishing trip on Monday.

The Crows will return home from Darwin on Wednesday with the exception of Greg Gallman, who flew back with coaches and medical staff on Sunday.

Upgraded to business class, it was little consolation for the broken collarbone that will sideline Gallman for up to eight weeks.

He will undergo surgery this week.
