You have done EXTREMELY well to convert her and become a member, but do you really expect to drag her along to Willy games as well? those icy cold games out at Sandy or Franga?

Good point.

I took my better half to a standard Willy game last year (wind blowing a bone-chilling gale). Fair to say she hasn't been back.

I do well if mine gets to say 2 or 3 Doggies games [even though i did convert her to full membership one season], but to Willy games, not a chance in hell!

I've offered them my services as a voluntary proof-reader, but no response as yet. The typos really irk me, especially when other aspects of the club have really risen a notch in professionalism. Little careless mistakes just look so amateurish.

As well as being an avid fan of the club, I am also a professional writer and editor. I also cringe at the typos and think they embarrass the club. In David Smorgon's article the club is apparently still 'baring' a debt. Apostrophes are all over the place. '2010 see's Cameron enter his...' and then apparently he is taking up the 'reigns'. I'd love to see it done better, and the mis-spelling of players' names is really unforgiveable.

I think some of the articles are a little pedestrian too. I started reading, eagerly, the article on the fitness campaign but it was dull and cliched.

If Susie wants to send me a PM I am happy to volunteer as a proof reader or developing content ideas. I'd thought of emailing Cameron Rose to suggest this, but didn't quite know how to get through the bureaucratic layers...

I still enjoy getting the magazine and hope they continue it. Especially for those of us interstate. It is always nice to read some news or feature which is never spoken online.

The typos irk me a little but then so does the fact that half the mag is ads and a bulldog shop promo. But the few gems in there make up for it. Especially the begin and end of year versions.

I was a little disapointed with the player reviews this year. There was just one template copy and pasted for them all being "best preseason ever". I would have liked a little varity with things like "broke some personal bests such as beep test", "on a modified program to focus on skill x", "working real hard on x defeciency and is improving", etc. I really liked Rockets bluntness last year.

Still a nice read and I take it to work and get a couple comments which isn't bad as the IT crowd normally doesn't aupport any sport but I'm trying to win a few over. Especially with Barry Hall with us now a few people have asked me how he is going.

I wouldn't have thought your email would get you the gig if you start off:

Hi Cameron,

I'm so and so...

Might be a good start to get his name right....... It's Campbell.
