Guernsey Presentation Dinner 2011

[AnnieH]

What a top night!!!

McVeigh gave the best speech I've ever heard at a footy function. I can now see why they made him captain. Seriously, (I'm dead-set serious for once) it was inspirational.

The troops are rip roaring ready to go.
B1 is beside himself with excitement. He can't wait to get out and play.
I've said it before and I'll say it again ... they've beefed up something big. Real Commando ... you're going great guns - keep it up. Josh P Kennedy's arm muscles are almost as big as Kels. They've multiplied.
NicMal was walking pretty well for someone who has just had tupperware inserted.

I said to Josh P Kennedy that NicMal looked like the lead singer of Spandau Ballet. He said "who". I said, "you know, 80s new romantics - spandau ballet, duran duran". Again, a blank look. No freakin idea. Stewie, on the other hand, cracked up laughing as soon as I said Spandau Ballet. Funny.

Scott's going to download my pic for your viewing pleasure.

Rachael, Jenny, Matt and all at the Club who put tonight on ... a fabulous night. Thank you very, very much.

Cheers

I just read the excerpt of the speech on the Swans website. Wow. Not bad for the footballer formerly known as McHack.

Youth of today (insert 'shaking head sadly' icon).

What a speech, and now I want another flag more than ever before!

I love supporting a club that's as proud as the Swans.

great speech


McVeigh vows nothing will hold back Swans - Official AFL Website of the Sydney Swans Football Club

you can feel the blood runs thick and red with Macca !!!

it could be his best season ever...........and given our rotation of Jetta, McGlynn, Hannes, Rok, Kennedy pushing off the foward lines back into the midfield I am positive that Macca will play predominantly the role that Kirk played so well for us for many years..................Go Macca...........shut down the best midfielder the opposition dishes up for us............and make them look ordinary !

I am positive he won't predominantly play anything like the old "Kirk role".

Yeah.
Kirk he's not.

You missed out on a great night Liz. What a shame to waste that ticket....

The whole McVeigh speech is on video at the Swans site. Excellent!!

Go and listen to Macca's speach. It's as good as Stueys was back in 2003. Basically, he is right. And I like a Captain who puts in work even with a speach. Its not a raraa gungho crapy speach, its a proper grown up, no holds barred, carefully considered, leadership speach. I shall listen to it again.

Each to their own ...

What the hell is whine??Something they serve at Collingwood jumper presentations?

I call it whine because that's what happens when most people drink it.

What in the hell is skip tabouli?

Is that Australian Tabouli or was it rehydrated in an industrial skip?

Skip tabouli is something that is made by a person who is not of middle-eastern extraction.
It just wasn't like mum's.
The crushed wheat was like soggy bird food.


Yes, I know, a bit pedantic ... but when you spend four hours cutting up tabouli, you want it to be right and proper.

I am positive he won't predominantly play anything like the old "Kirk role".

I never thought Dales Thomas would become an elite midfielder as he is fast becoming......aftebeing so successful in the forward line flanks.........i didnt think Leon Davis would become a man marking back pocket either.........

we have had a change of the guard and Shaw, Macca and Smithy I think will continue to play tight on the better attacking midfielders................Macca I believe will play more of a Kirk role as Shaw is definitely needed for the first half of the season in the backline by the look of the injuries...........and Jack showed that he deserves to be wider of the ruck then Macca............but Ive been wrong before.............lets watch the first few rounds and see who Macca matches up on
