Tigers Connex Cubs Club Clinic

[jb03]

Took the the jb juniors to the cubs club clinic today. Pretty disorganised but the kids enjoyed it. The host said there were over 800 kids registered for the day. Last years was far better as it had far fewer kids in attendance - meaning more time for the kids with the players. ($35 last year and free to attend this year the obvious reason)

Of interest in a day of little interest:

- Nahas had the longest autograph line at the end of the clinic (Richo and Cousins were not there).
- Matthew White said he was playing this week and was 'hopeful' to be in the ones.
- Vickery, King, White and Foley were out the longest signing autographs at the end.
- Deledio was BOG of the players for his involvement with the kids and had the biggest line for autograph hunters at the half way point of the clinic (the players rotated at that point).

Where was it held JB?

Where was it held JB?

Punt Road.

Last year was at Coburg.

Just on Connex, not sure how it works but the Labor Government may have done us no favours with the new public transport contracts. They seem to have been a good sponsor of the RFC.

 

[Streak]

Any sponsor these days is a good sponsor. Lets hope we find another quickly.

Unfortunately Richmond & Connex have a lot in common.

They're both #&$%ing unreliable.

Was there with my 2 oldest boys.

Was a good day considering the weather and the amount of people.

It is a really good way of reinforcing the tiger "mantra' to the juniors.

The players are very good with the kids, my kids absolutley loved it.

Yeah l went with my 2 boys.. Too many kids and not enough players in appearance at each activity. They should divide it up. Half one week and the other another week. All players should be out there, not rotating. I do not think that is too much to ask..
Richo and Cousins were there, my son did the handball drill with Ben. Kids still enjoy it. But needs to be better organised.

Thanks B1/B2. Didn't see Cuz involved with any of my kids activities and don't think he was doing autographs. Better not tell them that he was there as they will be devastated they didn't meet him.

you lot should consider yourselves lucky

a mum rang up SEN last night. In addition to upgrading her reserved seats from category 2 to category 1 (which meant she had to fork out more $$$), she just found out her kid is ineligable to go to their kids day.

They now have something called the Rioli Club. Its an upgrade on the standard membership ($105 instead of $55), and only Rioli Club members get to go to the kids day.
