For well over six months, I had been planning my 40th birthday celebrations; and as would be expected, my celebrations all revolved around returning to the Mother Country (Melbourne) for a weekend and watching the Bulldogs play … plus a few orange sherbets on the side.
As I was travelling with three mates from WA, it was difficult to find a round of football that included their teams (Freo and Carlton) as well as the Doggies … so round 13 it was !!
I approached the Western Bulldogs and told of my planned footy trip, and asked them if there was anything events happening that week, or if there was any way they could help make this trip special. I was eventually put in contact with Anna Mitchell who is in charge of club promotions. Anna made arrangements for me to go to the Sons Of The West (Trainers fundraising function) … I will discuss this in the other thread.
One of my mates decided he really wanted to attended training, so my weekend was blown out to a week, but I didn’t mind in the slightest as this was just another opportunity to see my Doggies in action.
So my week was set … travel over to Melbourne on the Tuesday, go watch training on the Wednesday, Carlton
training on the Thursday, Bulldog function on the Friday, footy Saturday, Bulldog game Sunday travel home on Monday … or so I thought !!
I happened to mention on another thread that I was attending training the next week, and a couple of hours later I received a message from The Coon Dog that he had spoken to Rodney Eade on my behalf, told him of my trip, and organised for him to meet me after training. I was dumbfounded … for the first time in my life, I didn’t know what to say. I started with a HUGE thank you to The Coon Dog
