MFC v GWS pre match function

[BIG JIM 508]

Im going to the pre match function to listen to what the club has got to say about the future of the club.

I just thought it might be a good time to meet some other demonland fans before the game.

We could all have a chat about the club in person for once.

Cheers guys

The strategy meeting before the $cully show.

Excellent idea by the club.

I will be playing the albbum "Head Injuries" by Midnight Oil this week to get in the mood of the feativities.....

All tickets have been allocated. I was late RSVPing and rang last week only to find all tickets were gone. Should be a good rev up for the supporters. Get fired up for the first smash on Sculls. Cant wait. How pathetic. A game against GWS and it is (hopefully) going to be a highlight of our season.

WYL., and I thought you would be listening to this

Yeah, I got my confirmation Email this morning.

Jim Stynes Room Level 2 Olympic Stand.

Slightly different topic has anyone heard anything about the Mid Season Player reviews

Didn't get to make it to the function today. Anything worth reporting?

[Harcourt 146]

Phil $cully would've had a bloody ball there that's for sure. I hammered down quite a few party pies and mini burgers!

[Guest José Mourinho]

Wasn't really worth attending.

A light feel-good affair low on content.

Sad to say, but I got very little out of it other than a free lunch.

Slightly disagree. A few words I noted. McLardy and Schwab saying that we will be very active in trading recruiting and free agency. Intimated that the Mitch get will be repeated. Clint Bartram also said something odd. It went along the lines of them looking to finish off the year strong as a group as the group wouldn't be the same next year ... or something to that effect. All in all I got the feeling that there was no sugar coating of the list and that we had to go hard to build it up.

[Guest José Mourinho]

The line about "this list will never play together ever again" is so tired and cliched that it gets used at amateur footy clubs.

Every year there are changes, it's not new.

Also the words about trading & recruiting didn't really reveal anything.

I'm sure that intention is there most years - getting the deal over the line is another thing.

I was under the impression there was going to be an open Q&A session.

Some may have been satisfied, but I was bored for the most part.

Hey, I was going to say that to the boys at training...

And rpfc is anything but cliched.

I pity the fool who thinks I am cliched.

So bored I suppose that you stayed for the free food?

I was hoping for some Q&A as well, was a bit disappointed but at the end of the day it was something to make the supporters feel more involved and there was a match about to go on shortly after - not really the time and place to open up cans of pent up supporter frustration worms.

... cans of pent up supporter frustration worms.

Is that like a tapeworm?

The function is an annual event which is part of the Premium Members membership package. In my opinion this was the best one in a long time in terms of the number of speakers - Don McLardy, Josh Mahony, Leigh Brown, Clint Bartram, Brad Green & Mark Neeld with a video message - the venue (Jim Stynes room) & the quantity of food available. Don McLardy said he would be giving a prepared talk - the same one he gave at the President's lunch and quoted in The Age. There was not the opportunity to ask questions but everyone was invited to speak to a staff member or e-mail the club if they wanted to be invited to one of the members forums.

Please stop talking about yourself in the third person

Not a good look mate

That's pretty much it.

I wasn't going to leave and buy lunch when they were laying all that on!

I stayed in case something of interest came up, and I left pretty disappointed.

It was free, but I felt like the event had promised to be a bit more than what we got.

Nothing wrong with sharing an honest opinion. Hopefully it will be what you hoped for next time.

[Guest José Mourinho]

That's it.

Just offering some feedback.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,297]

I went to last years one as well so kind of knew what to expect - location was way better this year how good is that Jim Stynes room? Beautiful view of the ground, do we get access to that as part of our Tridents membership or is it for the top grade members (or corporates) only?
