most players in attendance , was a great few hours , all players happy to have a chat and talk to everyone 

Gus sat with us and pulled up fine from his run at Casey , we spoke about breaking back into the team this year , very fine young man 

sam weideman  also sat for a chat and loves playing at the Dees and is trying hard to convert his grandparents over to the Dees

Jordan Lewis , was more than happy to talk too

my 6 year went up to nearly every player on his own and got them all to sign his jumper as did his sisters 

 

 

 

 

Great pic 'markc'!

Out of interest which player does your family sponsor?  It must be a real thrill for your kids to have a player they have a special connection with.

Did Lewis hold on to his snag or drop it on the floor?

He dropped it and then dived on it when Jarman Impey tried to nab it.

Great post mark, glad you and your family enjoyed it.

Wouldn't worry about that. When Todd was coaching Echuca he turned up on crutches and was so furious at how the team was going at half time he threw them away and played the second half.

I was also at the Player Sponsor BBQ and asked Viney about crutches.  He said it was all OK, part of then plan and was only about keeping the weight off.  Later on, I saw him walking around with both crutches in his hand.

Btw MarkC, I saw your little man get Oliver's signature on his own.  My 8 year old boy was far more shy.

Once Brock finally started , he went up to all players , the kid has more front than Myers , 

The players were magnificent.

It must be a drag having to roll up on Sunday lunchtime and chat to fawning fans, but they were so polite and friendly.

My 15 yr old daughter got photos with about 6 players who were all so kind to her. She even got a photo with her future husband.( J H!)

Jack Watts  and Trenners are such charmers! So patient!

Does your daughter have a genetic predisposition for lowering her eyes?
