Family Day

I missed it, did I miss much?

Anything interesting or funny from the jumper presentation?

Not too bad. Sheedy was pretty funny presenting the jumpers.

Sheedy praised Gumby claiming that he will be a star but will take time. Lloyd mentioned twice that Jetta needed to work on his fitness before he can play seniors which means he might be a long way off.

Some moron in the crowd booed Bolton when he came on stage...I thought this was a bit harsh. I am no big fan of Bolton but c'mon show some respect.

MJ presented a few jumpers and was funny when he told Heff to turn around and show his calves and said that they were the weirdest looking calves in the world.

I can't really think of anything else.

Pretty poor set up when it came to getting a autograph. Hird, Lloyd and Lucas were kept seperate (at the side of the marquee) this lasted 5 mins when one of the event organisers told everyone to bugger off. This was the only chance to get Hirdys's autograph, alot of kids missed out.

They had 2 tents (divided into 2) of players giving out autographs and 4 lines of people. Basically you didn't know what player was in which tent, to bad if the player you wanted was in the other tent.

Hopefully next year it will be better organised. Apart from that the day was ok.

I intended on going again this year, but when I found out it was to be part of the Moonee Valley Festival and that the players would only be there for a couple of hours, I decided it wasn't worth going.
Thought last year was great at Windy Hill with all of the activities and a better chance of being involved and meeting the players.
Ended up going to the Carlton Family Day (also on Sunday) at MC Labour Park (my wife and 2 daughters are all Carlton Members). Kind of had to as they went to the Essendon one last year. Thought they did a fantastic job, very similar to Essendon's last year.
Hopefully they go back to Windy Hill next year.
