Would be interested to know if all 400 showbags get snapped up.

Great initiative though I hope Norwood are taking note.

Good luck in getting your donuts kids!

I have been banned from assisting with the distribution of the donuts!! (As has our CEO who also known to enjoy a donut or two)

Great initiatve by the Eagles, I hope it is well supported as young kids are our future.

The Day kicks off with Reserves @ 8.30am

Should be a great day and a good game - we havent been able to beat Westies this year so do get to the ground early to support the Ressies at 8:30 then the U18s and the League at 2pm.

But kids get there early for all the activities and be in the march and guard of honour
Check out the details above or on the Eagles website.

Let's hope it's a successful day. Can I ask, though, why the Reserves are on so early? Does whoever makes these decisions take into account how it affects volunteers?

It's a Sunday game. A league trainer, for example, will need to get to the ground at about 7am, work until the end of the Reserves game, sit around for an hour or more, work through the league game and finish about 5.30.

If it's a one-off for a good reason, fair enough, but I wonder if these factors are taken into account?

I will be there from 6.30 looking for a coffee and breakfast. R&B its the same the week after when we play North at home.

Rumour going around thebarton that a certain Donut king also known as CD .will be backing the donut king mobile upto the showbag stand at woodville and taking away any left over donuts .
Police will be on the look out

According to Chris Davies its the SANFL's doing not WWT's or Westies .

Yes, I'm sure you're right, micky. I was just wondering if they take all the factors into account.

ITs the SANFL so the answer would be no !!! Just ask Ozzie next week what he thinks of them he was down right ropeable yesterday with them.

R&B with respect, it wouldn't be an issue with 17s and 19s playing at Richmond, if you get my drift.

AB, mate, you never give up.

I do get your drift, but it also wouldn't be an issue with the 18's playing at Richmond or at 8.30.

As for the 17's and 19's, Monty Python would say:

"this is a dead parrot, it's deceased, stiff, etc, etc......"

Or perhaps more relevant

"It's no longer with us"

If you get my drift

No ee's not ee's resting....

Of course they do - which two clubs are in the top three of producing AFL players?
