As always - a shout out of pics from the Training sess for all the non-Facebookers:

I know

I know what a decision. I am actually stressing over it quite significantly!! I want the mood - the vibe - to be perfect on Saturday. I don't want to feel stressed by too many people obscuring my views or annoying me cos they are talking s**t or getting in my way... But I don't want to miss out on the atmosphere either.

Oh the agony!!

I know how you feel, it's been a very long time coming and I want the experience to be as memorable as possible (for the right reasons) too. I suspect I won't decide until the day itself.

Filthy I c ouldn't get down today, looks like there was an insane turnout.

There's some nice pics there.
I bet some parents will be getting some enlarged copies for posterity. ( y'know on the eve of Freo's first premiership ).

They all look great.

Two of my three kids made it to the Freo Instagram page. I'd get that one copied except my third was also in it (as sell as eldest one's boyfriend)... But they cropped her out. How fricken mean!

Yeah today decided me. Going to watch in at home with a close friend or 2 and then wander downtown after. That was just awful.
Who makes these decisions? Its insulting that some marketing dickweed decides a bunch of supporters need to be stage managed in how to appreciate a training session so they hire a bull goose lunatic to scream at us when to cheer and what to cheer.
What happened at Subiaco on Saturday night was beautiful because it was a spontaneous voluntary outpouring of joy for a moment many never thought would come.
Then some asswipe thinks this is great, lets get them to do that again but with our sponsor banners everywhere and we'll get Basil to warm the crowd up and film it all, it will be great.
All that happens is you feel like your Dad is telling you to smile for a photo with your cousins and they make you stand there for 20 minutes in uncomfortable clothes and everyone looks self conscious.

Still today was just a dog and pony show and I'm sure the schoolkids all enjoyed themselves and the once a year fans.

You summed it up perfectly as to what was going on down there .
Who needs Motorized train rides and an IDIOT YELLING at the fans to cheer on the boys but I loved the kids in school uniforms so the teachers had a GOOD EXCUSE to watch the boys (school excursion )WTF.

Just think Jedi you've got a precedent for next year so no excuses to miss another training session teach.

So any inkling at all from anyone about training today? I know it was closed, but anyone? Anything?

the media were allowed in for 10 minutes and reported everyone present and correct in the warm-ups, but were asked to leave before the real session started.
