Where is the social club these days?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Social Club Function
Not going but hope they get a good turn out.

Re: Social Club Function
Yeah i'll be there.
Was hoping to see the new kids but doubt they will be there. At least it will be a good chance to listen to the new coach and here the powerbrokers speak on what happened during the off-season.

All of the new recruits were there. Tom Boyd spoke very confidently. I spoke with Zaine Cordy quite a bit, Zaine looks very well proportioned but is a bit shorter than Tom Boyd. Caleb Daniel sure does look short next to Tom Boyd.
The family day will be on March 7 and there will be a club practice match that day.
I saw all of the players except I didn't see the following: Wallis, Macrae, Roberts, Dickson, Darley and Campbell. They may have been there but I just didn't see them. There were thousands there.
Can' seem to upload my pics.

Re: Social Club Function
I'm certain I saw Dickson, Campbell and Roberts.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Re: Social Club Function
Summary from tonight that I can remember:
Peter Gordon
* Next years function should be at Edgewater - Costing $30 million and significant club investment.
* Will work with Vic Government on Ballarat, expect to play two games there in 2017
* WO upgrade on track but new scoreboard 50/50 to be ready for NAB Cup - will be where old scoreboard was
* Mens Health campaign raised over $1 million for club.
Bevo
* Won't be making predictions on how we will go, but will set the bar high and if we can't reach then keep pegging back a bit till we assess where we are at.
* Training today was stepped up and the players were very tired. He is starting to train them a lot harder now. Doing lots of running - 15 to 20k per day
* Big emphasis on bonding for players as well as coaches and developing a team. I know that was big at Hawthorn where they talked about a Champion team beating a team of champions.(Swans, with Buddy, Tippett etc)
* Lot's of questions asked but nothing new really said. He does have a sense of humour and sounded more confident speaking than when he first started.
New recruits
* All nine new recruits were introduced. Tom Boyd answered questions. Very impressive for a 19 year old, seems mature and level headed.
* Hamling is a big unit, Caleb really does look very short compared to the group.
Panel - Bob Murphy, Stringer and Bonti
* Bob got a standing ovation when he was introduced
* loves being Captain, unlike the last one
* Bonti told today he has a new focus, so training has been stepped up - not sure what he meant. He was surprised he played so many games in 2014, but was very tired by years end
* Stringer, very enthusiastic, and says he learnt alot this pass year and keen to keep learning and getting better.
Other
* AGM is on 22nd January (maybe December - need to check)
* Family Day is on 7th March which will include an intra club match
* season launch on 14th March.
