Best & Fairest 2016 Crichton Medal

[boncer34]

Will be held on Wednesday the 31st of August. I'll add more details as they come to light but just trying to gauge early interest.

 

[Doss]

Why that early? I mean I know we obviously won't be in finals but still...

I won't be able to make it, I'll still be overseas. Had it been even one week later...

Eliminates the "will the suspended players turn up?"

 

[Doss]

Well, have fun all. I'd actually planned on going, assuming it would be September or October.

2017, I guess.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

I'll be in.

 

[Don Won]

Disappointing. Signals that the club has given up all hope of making the eight.

Duh

 

[tesla1962]

I will try to get there, one of the most imp. days for the club this year

 

[RearNaked]

what if we make finals ??

 

[Harlequin]

I'll let The_princess know as she was thinking of maybe going

You're coming surely

*edit*

Scratch that, will be making alternate arrangements to a BF table this year.

 

[eth-dog]

I should be able to scrape enough money together this year.

 

[Beerfish]

Out.

 

[boncer34]

Out.

If you leave now you can make it

 

[DapperDon]

August?

Is the season even over then?

Edit: last game is 27th of August. Seems they want to be done with this season pretty quickly.

 

[Don Won]

Duh

Duh, duh.

Surprised the club wouldn't wait till suspended players return on 21 September - Tie it up with a training session for returning players and B and F that night.

I actually think that is kind of the point. No speculation about them.

Plus the guys will have finished playing several weeks earlier. Pretty sure most of them will just be interested in ****ing off to wherever they want to go for offseason.

I'm hoping it means there is more of a focus on thanking the top-ups. Really hope the club makes a big deal about their contribution.

I am certain the club will have some kind of official function and fans for the returning players - I think its important that suspended players are given the opportunity to attend one of the most important days in a club's season.

 

[Doss]

The players can return to training at the club in September- but can they actually attend official club functions at that point? Who knows.

Anyway, it is what it is, not much point debating the machinations in here at least. August 31 is the date.

Bizzare that your certain.

I'd be surprised from a PR point of view if they made a song and dance outside of a few articles and "Bomber TV" videos.

Players are allowed to train at the club two months before the end of their ban - So logically should be allowed to attend a club function.
