    hehehe... before you start, there is a function on the Thursday night that is a fundraiser for the East Coast Eagles and the Kellyville Magpies to assist them in the building of their new home ground and facilities. A good cause to support.

    Now for the info...

      Since I got my school where I work involved with Auskick, and we were so enthusiastic, we have been selected to have a group of Pies players visit us on 8th Feb in the morning.

      It's great to use it to promote the game to staff and students, but I find myself in a personal dilemma.

      How on earth can I be polite and civil?!
      What is there to talk about?!


      *List for self*
      Don't make rude remarks about:
      - Eddie,
      - the TV rights
      - Licuria and Rocca the traitors
      - appearing as a one-man team

      Any advice?!
      Thanks.

          Hey Treefrog,

          When I was in primary school in Haberfield we had Warrick Capper and some Swans players come to our school to run some Aussie Rules clinics.

          I can't remember what I said now but I told them I supported Collingwood, and kept telling other kids that Capper looked like a monkey (he did when he played with that big white mouth guard).

          I'm sure you can come up with somethign better

            Thanks guys,

            Although they are my least fave team, (mostly due to Eddie), I am looking forward to them coming to meet the kids and I think it's fantastic the way the AFL have spread the teams far and wide to promote the game and meet the kids who might become top players of the future.

            It's just that it's Collingwood!

            And Ben, Warwick Capper does look like a monkey.

              So, like much of the Swans community, the Collingwood Sydney community is camp?

                If the free youth forum was for children aged 12-18, then why is it on so late?? I actually live in Eastwood and was planning on going ( so i can badmouth Eddie in front of them ) but both my parents say that its too late.
