East Meets West Family Day

Re: East Meets West Family Day

Yep a great morning. Was so good to get a dose of footy! Was also very nice to meet some fellow woofers Was also good to catch up with some of the staff that we had met last year. Was amazed, well humbled a bit, that they all remembered us. They must meet so many people!
The boys looked good and were all very nice (as usual) with the autographs and photo opps - felt a bit sorry for them actually. I know Aker spend a solid 1-2 hours just signing stuff.
Seb was wrapped with it all, of course. Highlight was meeting Aker who was very impressed with the big "21" on the back of his jumper. He signed the "1" and wrote Dream Big, Seb was thrilled.
Took lots of photos - just in the process of adding them all to flikr and Seb's site. will post here ASAP.

Re: East Meets West Family Day

His skills didn't look out of place either, which was great to see given he has played less than half a dozen games of footy. The question mark will be over his game smarts.

I also thought DaDruid looked replendent in his mohawk and bearded one shirt. Seemed to be posing for more photos than some of the players.

Stop it!! You'll make me blush!

Re: East Meets West Family Day

I have to thank all from WOOF who came over and introduced themselves today. Best reception that side of town I've ever had in any way,shape or form. Good to put faces to a few avatars as I think I'm the only one who runs with a real pic for theirs. I had a great day. From the moment I was certain that my mohawk was going to stay up at 6.30am, my day jusy got better and better. Rode out with footy friend in brand new convertible. Got gawked at and gawked right back all the way. Hair in breeze was not not an issue. Car aerodynamics were great, no dramas even on the freeway (2009 VW Eos for the car buffs). I really think I'll cause an accident one day. Haven't got pics as didn't bring camera but was popular with all who did. Even snapped by a couple of players on their phonecams. Many thanks to East-West Club and Wesley and the staff and players for sharing their Saturday morning with the faithful. Going to be a permanent fixture on all my future Bulldogs calendars.

Well done Andrew.

Great to see these pics, Andrew - thanks a lot! Also thanks for suggestions to other links from others (GoDoggies)- much appreciated. Looks like a good day was had by all.
Aker seems to have put himself out for the youngsters by the look of it - this says a lot about the guy. The boys do look in terrfic shape - good to hear their skills matched this.

Yes, Aker was fantastic yesterday. All credit to him for his friendliness toward all - babies, kids, Big Kids and even dogs

Re: East Meets West Family Day

It's already been said but thanks heaps for all the reports on East West day. Being in Darwin means I'm pretty reliant on the info from supporters residing in Melbourne.

It's great to hear the boys are in good shape. I remember when it seemed that our guys were completely incapable of putting on muscle but things have certainly changed. Thanks also for the pics guys.

Go Dogs!

Thanks Jodie and Andrew for posting up some great shots of the day. Helps ease my pain from missing the morning. By the look of it Seb must've had a great time. I'm sure my 2 girls would've been too afraid of Big Barry up close anyway. He still looks veerry imposing and looks in good shape.

Had a look at some, good photos there Jodie. Just wondered how Seb is up close with the players? Really shy? or more relaxed..does he ask questions? and specifically Barry Hall?

I remember taking my sister to a game last year and Mitch Hahn gave her a Hat or something after the game (shes 13) and she just froze and smiled..star struck probably..even im a bit like that sometimes..haha

Re: East Meets West Family Day

I don't know much about him (had to read up here on WOOF, and it's a pretty harsh call, but my first thought on seeing the rookies yesterday was "Who's the little fat bloke? (Andrew Hooper)...yes, I know he's probably just "solid" a la Brad Hardie...have to admit, I thought some fan had snuck upstairs and put on a Dogs shirt!!! Anyhoo, I'm sure the recruiters know their stuff..
