2014 East Meets West Family Day

Re: 2014 East Meets West Family Day

First year i haven't been there and that was because my wife was in hospital giving birth but i thought last year wasn't really of any interest to me without the boys doing any training. I'm not really interested in the kids clinics yet and really getting to know the players. I want to see them run around and see with my own eyes who's looking fit and which of the new kids looks a talent.

Without that it's just the same old routine which i already know too well.

Congrats also on the birth.

Firstly, I don't disagree with the sentiment coming through.

The East West Club with limited resources, and who volunteer their time, should first be applauded for their endeavor to make this a memorable day for the kids and their parents without the full support of the Club behind them. I'm certain it's no easy feat to pull together. Maybe I'm easily pleased but I'm grateful for anything Bulldogs out East given the dearth of representation over the years out here.

What I would like to see is for the Club to look into the potential of broadening the reach of this event to become a key membership enabler for those in particular that reside out in the Eastern part of Victoria, whether with children or without, and by extension take the planning and execution of the event over from the East West Club.

Isn't Hawthorn big and ugly enough now to give them yet another head start each year in their marketing stronghold in the East of Melbourne ?

Congrats on the newborn Cyberdoggie.

Great post Doc26.

I should say that I am not being critical of the East West group.....I appreciate the effort they go to. I'm just not sure the club is giving them the appropriate support for this even and it is the club afterall who decides what their players will do on the day.
