Congrats to the Club and the people who organised the function.

It was the best one by far that I've been to whilst living here in Adelaide.

It was great to get a taste of what must have been a great night for the North Story function.

It was a fantastic function and I definetly left there with a heightened sense of pride about the club.

Seeing some of the footage on the screens was great, as was having the chance to have a chat to Dr Aylett.

Kudos to all involved!

Thanks to the Adelaide Roos for the feedback.

Did the doc have anything of interest to say Chadwiko?

quite a few things actually, he was actually suprising in how honest he was.

two things of note that he talked about with myself and another person there

*Friday night footy - The AFL doesnt actually schedule the matches. Part of the deal with 'the consortium of 9 and 10' is that the AFL sends them a fixture at the start of the year, and channel nine gets to pick one match per round that they want the friday night footy game to be.
He said that the AFL is "furious" that it has been so blatantly manipulated so that "one team gets a majority of the friday games". He has also said that there is an unspoken attitude at AFL headquarters of "well, stuff collingwood and stuff eddie" because of the way they "want to have their cake, and eat it too" (referring to the fact that they are obviously getting the sweetest deals out of any team, yet they are also the team who complains the most about everything"

*Staying at Arden St - I shook Dr Ayletts hand and thanked him and the administration for working hard to keep the Kangaroos at Arden St. He had a big smile when I said this, and he asked if I had ever been there. I told him that I had, and I was quite shocked at the conditions of the ground, but even so I was filled with a sense of pride and passion about being there.
Dr Aylett said this was precisely the reason they were trying so hard to keep the club at a "completely refurbished" Arden st. He believes that Arden st is an integral part of the Kangaroos.
He also said he had a meeting with "all involved parties" at 7am monday morning (today) to finalise it.

what table did all you guys and girls sit on?

 

[Cororoo]

what table did all you guys and girls sit on?

My wife , the little bloke and myself were on table 3.

(My son answered the quiz question about Norths first GF appearance in 1950) He was very happy to win one of the North Story programs and badge. He really wanted to win the mascot raffle though....

 

[Chadwiko]

I dont know which table I was on, but i was on the back-centre table (just behind where Dr Aylett was sitting)

If this is true then I hope for nothing more than Collingwood to burn in hell. Eddie has built Collingwood up with blatant favouritism at the expense of other clubs. It will be good to see the back of 9 I say. I just hope the AFL pull the priority picks on them this year!

It is planned to have one annually as happens on most interstate trips now. I will be speaking with the club this week and giving feedback on what we can do to improve to make each year more successful. Apart from the loss overall succesful weekend for the club with a lot of merchandise and a few memberships sold.

 

[Scottroo]

hehe by the way it wasnt my son, it was cororoos son, im only 19yo i sat on the table like with the old blokes and my old man, pretty much back of the room

 

[roogirl_416]

arch11 that would be great if they happened down here every year. i can see the events beoming more successful over the next few years.

Hmm, very interesting. It sounds like we should get on the C7/Stokes bandwagon... we may not get the red carpet but we won't even get carpet with C9.

Arch11 ,

I don't think the adults mind having to pay $50 to attend a breakfast like that and I understand that the hotel set the per head price .However , there were some very young kids there ...Perhaps with future breakfasts , a cheaper entry cost could be negotiated/arranged for the kids along with a kid friendly menu.....Not many under 10's like smoked salmon and glazed onion fritattas.

You should post this on the main board - I am sure every few people actually know this. It is very edifying.

im 20 and i dont even like smoked salmon and glazed onion fritattas!! hahaha

i agree with you though. i wouldnt mind paying $50 + to go to another roos function in adelaide and i would be quite happy not to eat anything on the menu but its a different story for the younger kids and their parents.

Brisbane had 28 people at there first breakfast (we started higher than that). This year there are 350 people attending in Brisbane i am told so i hope ours grows at the same rate. Keep an eye on the website as there should be an article and some photos in the coming week from the Adelaide breakfast.

Enjoyed the read guys - glad you had a good time (except for loss bit). Good to know 350 going to Brisbane B'fast, me included. Flying down to Brisbane for the w'end and catching up with Roo pals from Melbourne. Roo supporters very thin on the ground in Nth Qld so hopefully meet up with Qld Roo .
