Dunno if anyone else went but anyway just to fill you all in:
* Cooke said we made nearly 2million profit this year
* Expects us to earn 1.2 million next year profit
* Collingwood game at the G earned us 500k
* Said the point cook dev will earn us an extra 400k
* Possibility of there being 90 machines rather then 80 at point cook
* We are paying 100% of the salary cap this year (and last year)
* Spending in the footy department has gone up
* We are turning over around 33 million a year, Power house clubs like coll and WC are doing 60million
* Said the stadium is a problem if we continue to grow
* Development will get us up to 30,000, but not enough
* Tempory stand looks to be going ahead
* All reserved seats are gone for 2008 at skilled
* 20 players are out of contract at the end of the year. They are a little worried about keeping all of them
* Bomber said they aren't thinking about 07 anymore and are focussed entirely on 08
* Said that any player who works hard will always get a second chance. The aim isn't to turn them into AFL footballers its to turn them into the best footballers they can be
* Said he would always choose a footballer over and athlete. Then realised Kangars was an athlete
* Hates Harry Taylors shows haha
* Expects the players to start fit and firing.
* Said that the new structure of the footy dept has made his life a lot easier.
* Said Leigh Tudor is excellent in turning top up players into senior footballers.
* Expressed ALOT of disappointment in not getting Scott Thompson
* Said they took a risk in taking a 27 year old Paul Haynes, But it has paid off.
* Bomber said Sheedy should still be coaching.
Kevin Sheedy also got the RJ Hickey Medal for services to football. Spoke very well. He highlighted just how hard it is to go B2B, but said we can do it.
About it really, any questions please ask.
