Major Sponsor announcement???????????????????

 

[KiwiTiger]

Just asked Stig that on Twitter RT. My word is still on the process.

 

[peejay]

meeting over - concluded in one hour - must be a record

no annoucements re sponsors although that was unlikely to be announced at AGM

10 more pokies approved for wantirna club.

Royal oak still ours for now. Its a month to month thing at the moment.

 

[peejay]

Doubt if a sponsor annoucement will be made now - to close to Xmas look for something post 10 Jan. i would think.

Welcome Bruce Temapany.

Has he been active behind the scenes or did they just give it to him for being part of the early 80s glory ?

Good question. He is a nice name to remember like any player who is part of your winning sides but hardly jumps out like the others. Must be some involvement at the club other than as a player.

It would be good to see us back up Benny Gale with some on field performances. Need to make some inroads into the scum as Im really concerned about football finals becoming unwatchable in the next four years.

Maguire and his team had many years of finals to help them build thier shithole into something that gives you the impression it isnt one.

87 games life membership? WTF?

congrats to bruce , who went out with my sister but jesus you would think that he must have done some stuff off field.

Either that or we may still be associated with essex heights.

 

[El Tigre]

Thanks for the update peejay.

Paul Cameron made an inspirational speech.

Lol how they got the footage of our five best and fairests mixed with the new recruits. Campbell made a light hearted joke afterwards that he hoped they would be in our top 5 next year.

Some people were upset that we sold home games to Cairns under general business. I personally don't mind it myself. I'd rather follow Richmond up to Cairns for a small holiday on one weekend a year than to have a game at Etihad Stadium. I have already booked a flight up there next year, just waiting out for information when the tickets for the game are availiable and how to get them.

Has been treasurer of the past players association the past ten years.

who went out with my sister

You must have a few anecdotes from the old days to help make the summer bearable.

Any little tidbits about our team back then that you can pass on?
