That seems early

Yeah it is earlier this year than in previous years usually held in January.

Since Bevo's arrival we have struggled with the East West day in January due to a camp up on the Sunshine Coast being the priority.
I suspect they have moved it to December to ensure the day doesn't get bumped again.

With the players coming back early this year compared to the last 2 years it probably makes more sense. I think the January block of training will be more important than December.

So probably not a bad thing so it guarantees they do the event and not change the date. Hopefully a few more of the players come out this year for it.

Just read the report you posted Max469.

Great stuff!

Will have to do a WOOF meet up at the footy. I met soupaman in a JB Hi Fi store but would be great to meet other woofers on here like Twodogs, bornadog, jeemak, GVGjr and others.

A couple of years ago I had a number of WOOF caps made which would have made it easier for people to recognise each other.
There might still be a few members with WOOF caps. I've worn my to a few games and normally get to meet some of the WOOF members

Would love to meet all woofers where I can. Would have been a long post putting all the usernames in

Looking forward to the reports from the Social club event.
