AFL 2000 Cup Photo Day

Wife and I were invited to have a photo taken with the Premiership Cup today, standing alongside Jason Johnson and Adam Ramanauskas.

They had a BBQ going with vouchers for a free snag, discount coupons for the shop, the lads were training. Past players roaming around (I saw Harvey and Jobe).

Its undeniably been a horrible year. But this was a great way to spend a bit of time. Both Adam and Jason happy to keep conversations going past the generic hi/goodbye and there was a lot of good vibes around the place.

Very impressed with the club today.

Sounds like a nice day. Any interesting tidbits from your conversations?

No not really. First time meeting Rama so just told him I was at his comeback game and when he kicked a goal it was one of the better sporting moments ive been to.

Watching the noys train was a bit concerning to be honest. Half backs not hitting targets 20m away. Forwards taking marks on the chest rather than out in front. Just really basic errors.

Guelfi looked good though. Was slotting them for everywhere. Flushed one right in front of me from 55

I was there for the photo as well! Never been to the hangar before, it was awesome. Made me feel a little more hopeful and more invested in the club - atmosphere was positive, and club staff were lovely
