    Have two drinks for me!!
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    I forgot to RSVP. I was kinda looking forward to it too, as this year was the first I was eligible.

    Got nothing from the club on this. Come to think of it, have got nothing from the club in relation to any membership. Will have to ring and find out WTF is going on.

    Have a drink for me Scott.

    I didn't even get an invite.
    I RSVP'd on my daughters invite.

    We missed last year due to me being on my death bed.

    Didn't get an invitation this year. I've been the last two years and it's a good night.

    Didn't get an invite either. Missed last year due to other arrangements but went the year before. Was a good night.

    I had whooping cough at the start of 2009. Forget anyone complaining about having a cold or flu. That was the real deal when you're struggling to take a breath.

    Good news, in case you didn't know. Just because you had it doesn't mean that you become immune to it. You can get it again.
    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    No I can't get that strain again, but I can get other strains.
    I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
    Add a head cold to the mix, and the coughing was exponentially worse than the previous every 10-15 minutes.

    Last night:
    Grubby was the host as usual.
    They showed a highlights package as usual.
    Richard Colless spoke. Never heard him speak before. A very quiet and reserved man. Not what I expected from the comments I see in the media.
    Spoke about how well the club is going, on and off the field. We're only one bad season away from financial disaster.

    Andrew Ireland: He spoke about the new kids, What a great group of people they are, as well as talented footy players.
    Rohan has a rod in his leg, and is doing what training he can. Rod comes at at years end. We may not see him till next year.
    Tippett is a great bloke as well. Was painted in a bad light by the Crows and the media. Thought he was hard done by, by the AFL.
    Arguing with the SCG trust over compensation for the redevelopment, loss of seating.
    We turn over about $40mil. as opposed to NRL clubs that turn over about $20M.
    But clubs like WC and Pies turn over $60-$70M so it is hard to compete.
    Membership is looking great.

    Dennis Carroll. He is a great speaker.
    Spoke about the new kids as well. Great group.
    Great to see 2 NSW boys and from the same Junior club, Pennant Hills, as Captains.
    We used to be in the top quartile for footy dept's environments, but have slipped back into the back, so they are looking at lifting that.

    They showed the AFL 360 footage. Cheers and Cheers, followed by a rendition of Cheer Cheer!!

    Venue: Rivers Edge (across the river from Crown/Jeffs Shed) Very small. Great view over the river.
    Well set out with 3 bars, and 3 screens.
    People I spoke to all knew people who didn't get an invite, who should have. Not sure what is going on.

    Was 9 off the door prize, and 3 off 3rd prize in the raffle. Maybe next year.

    Bring on Round 1!!!!!
