Thanks for that GG. That was great reading. Sounds like as a few woofers have said a great night.

GG, I noticed they haven't advised the venue. Surely an oversight or have I missed it?Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Reckon we’ll get any Inside the Kennel shoes this year? Went to one at the Yarraville Club a while ago to see Grant, Chocco, Beaser, Westy, Johnno and Doug and it was terrific.Time and Tide Waits For No ManComment

Re: Events Thread
"Big Plans" sounds like a power point presentation will be in full force.
Im in two minds about attending as I dont want to hear about how much money we are spending in the redevelopment. Ive already seen and heard all about that. I want footy updates

Re: Events Thread
Went along last night to the season launch which followed the same format on stage as the previous years few years. The venue was unusual, being in North Melbourne in a converted building surrounded by Industrial businesses.
Pre-covid, the season launch was more formal held at Crown with over 1000 attending, however, the last few years the event has been changed to be more a stand up affair with waiters roaming around with food trays. A bar is set up in one corner where you can drink as much as you want (hopefully, not being stupid about it). So plenty of food and drinks.
This year the players were close to the bar, with some spreading around the room, like Caleb, Libba, Bruce, and if you wanted to talk to them you could, which I don't do that, unless introduced. However, I did talk to Bailey Williams as he walked past about the wrong photo on the website. We had a bit of a laugh over that and he said he had mates, family ringing him about it.
Some things I can remember about the evening:
1. VU Whitten Oval a little behind schedule as asbestos was found in the old stand that was demolished
2. Bevo's speech as usual was a beauty finishing off with wanting to make every venue a slaughter house - hard to explain, but will look out for the video on the club website and post.
3. Caleb Daniel awarded Life membership - 9 years at the club now
4. Players were presented with their jumpers, one by one, and some interviewed by Brad Johnson.
5. Tim English was asked about round one and combating the Melbourne rucks. He jokingly said he is having sleepless nights thinking about it. On a serious note, he said he is working with Brendon Lade on tactics etc.
6. As mentioned in other threads, Weightman was asked about the three talls, and whether he would still be trying to jump over the lot - he said he would be staying down a lot more this year.
7. As usual, the young recruits spoke well when interviewed.
8. Only player not to attend was Lobb
9. Love the attitude of Arty Jones, always smiling, and really enjoying being part of the group.
Not much else of noteworthy said, but will post if I remember.FFC: Established 1883
