    The big announcement were 4 new sponsorships to the value of 2.2 mil and membership is up 23%. The sponsorships were all companies I'd heard associated with us before, White King, Slater and Gordon, a state govt authority and can't remember the other-they may have been a new sponsor.

    I can't remember either, but I am sure it will be in writing somewhere today.

    * It was great this year the club invited AFL CEO Gillon along as well as the state treasurer Tim Pallas a doggies fan.

    * At our table we had Lachie Hunter, who really didn't want to talk to many, but we kept firing questions at him. Nothing really to report, other than the usual can't wait to get out there. I discussed with him the high possessions he has been racking up. He said he has the freedom to move up and down the wing which has helped him.

    We were wondering why he sat on the other side of the table on his own, and a few ladies were trying to get him to sit closer. After proceedings had started, his sisters joined him at the table. Most of the night he was missing from our table.

    * At the next table was The Bont and one young fella, about 14 years old sat next to him and was very excited.

    * Stringer popped over a few times to talk to Lachie and we got him to have a photo with us. I called him Jesse, and he just said yea call me what you want.

    * Walked past the media table but TD wasn't there, FDOTM was busy chatting and the discussion looked intense, so I didn't stop.

    * Bevo's speech was based on the camp on the Sunshine Coast and a walk he took through the bush, where he came across a spider weaving it's web. He related the weaving of the web with the club, the players the game plan etc. I am sure the video will be available on the club website and it is worth listening to.

    Overall not really a lot to report, but I do urge WOOFERS, if you get the chance to put this night in your diary every year. As Peter said, this time of the year we are all Optimistic, all the players are in the best 22 and we are on top of the ladder and we will win every game.

    I hope we are asking for Slater and Gordon's cash up front!

    A couple of other things I just remembered:

    * Despite only playing 150 games, Liam Picken was made a life Member of the club.

    * Matthew Croft is now a Director of the club.

    * The Lost Dog Campaign is chasing 10,000 members who haven't renewed over the past 5 years.
