Yet another significant event for the club totally lacking in promotion. The family day was first publicised by email on 19 December and there has been nothing of note since. If the club want to sell memberships and merchandise on the day they should have been promoting it on a weekly basis. Generally an excellent day if there aren't too many in attendance and the players are very good with the kids these days. 1 Quote
Cassiew 1,903 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Posted February 22, 2020 Both brothers and their children are going. Bf can’t make it, so just me and them. Looks to be a good day 1 Quote

Don't agree poita there was a big promo on front of the website last week for this weekend's 4 events. Being 2nds game, seniors game, ladies game and family day today. I also got an email to the same effect. Looks ok to me. 2 1 Quote

Wrecker45 3,381 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Had a very brief chat with HB. Anyone who thinks he is hoping to play half way or late through the season is mistaken. He reckons he will be going much earlier than that. He also picked up a kids footy completely different size to what he would be used to and drilled the kid he was kicking it to 30 meters away with a picture perfect drop punt. Early crow of the year. He can beat Petracca in the b&f. 1 1 2 Quote

Cassiew 1,903 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 Had a great day despite the heat. All the players were friendly. Casey Sherriff was lovely to my niece. Nephews had a great ti e with the dart footys. Lots of fun activities for them. Sad to think they’ll be too old for this in a few years. No sign of Daisy Pierce. My niece is dying to meet her. 3 Quote
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Went along for the first time with my girls and they had a great day out. Highlight of the day was, of course, the face painting. That's what my four year old says anyway. The heat was pretty oppressive but there was enough shade around when you needed a break. All the players were friendly and approachable. Waited close to an hour in the line to get Max to sign my daughters jumper, but the wait was worth it. The way he interacts with the fans, from young kids through the older generation, is first class. There is a reason why he is likely to be installed as captain. There was plenty to do and lots of freebies given out as the day went on. Overall the club did a great job with it and we'll be back next year. At one stage there was a game going on where two players were getting rolled up in bandages. As the pressure mounted I saw ANB fumble his bundle of bandages and drop them on the stage floor. Classic. 6 2 Quote
CityDee 738 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Good day - collected my scarf with the digital membership - could collect my heart out all year but not a filth . Not as many there as Luna park ( imo ) but players were great . Big lines to see Maxy and co . Charlie was great with my 4 year old- his favourite player I reckon Tom Sparrow is in for a-huge year. the boys look fit - Sun was damn hot . Nice day Go dees Edited February 23, 2020 by CityDee 2 Quote
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Kids had a ball my son got his number 5 jumper signed by Petracca and had pics taken with Petracca, Gawn, Oliver and Viney. Players were all great with the kids, my boys are already looking forward to next year's one ? Cassie - Daisy was standing next to where Petracca and Brayshaw were signing autographs to the right if the rent where Gawn was @Cassiew 4 Quote

Won't see him until mid year at best perhaps even later if we are playing well. Quote

He was just asked to train when Stephen May and he were at a game prior to Xmas with another player Nev Jetta I think. But tough he has done everything right and if you believe what you see in the doco then he is more than all in and totally emotionally involved. Your comment was really not necessary IMO. 4 Quote
