2013 Family Day

[AndrewP6]

Anyone going?

Meeee!

I'm likely to go. Have been the last four or five years. Don't think I'll sit in the queues for a photo this year though! Having the station right there makes it simple to get to.

[ledge]

I will be there as usual

[AndrewP6]

Not feeling 100%, so with the heat and a 1.5hr trip on the train, not sure I'm gonna go tomorrow.

Hope your ok Andrew. As BAD said I reckon it should be held in March when it's a bit cooler. It has certainly been very warm lately.

Thanks, yeah I'll be fine. Just don't know if I can be bothered with the trek in the heat.

For us in the eastern and south eastern suburbs it is a bit further away and on a cooler day would be fine to make the trek although i dont have my licence yet. At least we have the East West Day.

How's the family day going for woofers who have attended.

Bloody hot. I didn't go but I live close enough to the ground for cars to be parked out the front of my house and hear the noise and I can tell you that's it's so bloody hot here right now.

[Rance Fan]

Gee saw Cross. Damn his calves are huge. Taller than I thought also.
Hes looking fit, fingers crossed he has a good year!

[Eastdog]

Did the team have a small training session?

Every year its hot. For the life of me why do they have the family day in February? It would make more sense to have it close to the start of the season and get people gee'd up for the up coming season. I haven't been for a few years, because of the heat and my daughter is now grown up.

They don't normally have training on the family day.

[Rance Fan]

They sign autographs, and wander around.
Then the players / team gets introduced on stage.

What did Peter Gordon say in his speech.

[Remi Moses]

Went along . Yeah it was hot( but hey that's summer)
Autograph lines were enormous . Dale Morris got the biggest cheer.
Peter Gordon spoke with great passion, got a bit nostalgic talking about where the Clubs come from since 89 .Wonderful speaker he could sell ice to Eskimos.They had a few snakes and lizards from Werribee zoo. Boydy spoke off Peter doing a great job in his first year of presidency!:eek. Kevin Hillier did a good job as MC( as usual).Good day
