Tonight at the G they have the Season Opener Dinner, I think it used to be the Commencement Dinner, I'll be there, is anyone else going?

Should be a good night, the players and the coach will be there and this year there won't be the usual history lesson just an update on how we are progressing and hopefully an estimate of how we are expected to go this year.

I'll be there on Max Gawn's table with Andy (Demonland) and blistering. Please come up and say hello.

If you want my description, I'm a tad shorter than Max.

Yep, I'm going.

Looking forward to hearing roosy talk about his expectations for the season

I'm not going but would appreciate a summary?

Cheers

Table 26 jack grey hair with Howie and Tappy

Big night it's a sell out first time for a very long time

Table 30 & there's a big crowd in tonight. If we ever win a flag they'll have to put tables on the ground itself.

Players on my table Max Gawn and Bernie Vince. They haven't arrived yet. Bernie's about 2ks away stuck in traffic

I wont be there either unfortunately, but would really appreciate any updates. Thanks in advance.

Just met RobbieF. Baghdad Bob, Rhino & Old 55 are at the next table with Tim.

Absent is Mitch Clark - probably taking photos or running the tan.

At work

Nice tribute to Dean Bailey earlier in the evening.

They've just announced the half time score at Etihad. A lot of disappointment among the crowd at the score.

Robbo interviewing the captains now - first question an in depth probing one about who is going to call the toss of the coin in round 1.

Robbo just asked Jack Grimes how many bananas he eats a day.

Answer - 8.

Remember that for your next trivia quiz.

RIP Dean.

Max Gawn is very popular with the ladies - they're lining up for photos. I'm thinking of growing a beard.

Paul Roos introduced with a montage of clips, mainly from On the Couch, dating from mid 2013 on the subject of whether he would coach Melbourne. Went from "no" to 50:50 to him being appointed.

I thought you were going to say you were going to grow something else there WJ!!!!!!

You just cannot rely on those bastards - I backed them

Paul Roos is very impressive - I'm sure his talk will be screened on the MFC site and will probably become the subject of another thread so I won't go into much detail here. He did say it was a night for the players who were presented with their jumpers. Told the young players they were not the saviours of the club but that they were here to develop over time and thanked the players coming across from other clubs for their faith in coming to this club. You could have heard a pin drop when he spoke.
