Is this unusual to have it on a Friday, lunch time, isn't it normally a nighttime thing?

Yes it is

What a joke - doubtful I'll be able to go

They're really going low key this season. Not many will turn up!

How can they have a venue and no address?

And as I've never been to one - can someone tell me what actually goes on at them?

$150 bucks for a Friday arvo thing just seems a little pricey.  ::)

Formally present the players with their jumpers

Speech from the coach, president and sometimes the CEO speaks

Last couple of years inducted at least 2 new members into the HoF

Get a past great to propose a toast to the forth coming season. Last year they had Sheeds who suggested we could make the Grand Final  :gobdrop :gobdrop and people wnated him to coach pluhhzzeeee

Usuall have players sitting on the tables with supporters as oppsed to having the players sitting all together

$150 bucks for a Friday arvo thing just seems a little pricey.  ::)



Yep... Tommy Hafey Club have their luncheons at the same venue (granted only 2 course) and they charge $110

Very poor effort this by the club  :banghead :banghead

Absolutely not

A Friday arvo  :banghead :banghead some of us do actually work for a living

It would appear they certainly didn't consider the supporter when they planned this ...Friday arvo  :banghead :banghead
