Very generous dane. If that happened I would be forced to send you a Darwin Stubby, or a frozen barramundi or a couple of NT mud crabs. But a warning - the seafood would be speared by Michael Long or one of his brothers which may effect the taste if you remember the 93 GF. I could manage to capture the Darwin stubby all by myself though!!

NT Blue, that Mud Crab"s name wouldn't" by any chance be called Morton would it?

I would be happy to come down from Darwin if I was lucky enough to be drawn out.

Have we not reached to amount required for the sponsorship? I could kick in a bit extra if it is needed.

NTBlue

Payment has been made and the shortfall was covered by TC ad revenue. :thumbsup:

Haha. Might stick with the NTBlue captured stubby.

Updated. The delay was due to a communication error on my part, my apologies. :oops:

To make up for it we have 2 tickets to giveaway for the Guernsey Club Match-day – Round 15 Premiership Lounge Function v Richmond (Friday 10 July).

Let me know if you can make it to that game and I will put all the names in the hat and draw two winners. :beer:

I am staying out being lucky enough to win a dinner earlier this year and KJ not playing a senior game since. :roll:

If at the death there are no other acceptances I would be happy for NT Blue to take my option . For him to be prepared to make the long haul from the "Top End" he well deserves the nod.

dane and NTBlue get the gong.

I'll be in touch via PM to sort contact details etc to pass on to the club.

Unfortunately NTBlue has had to cancel his plans to come to Melbourne, so dane and 7dominator, you're it. :beer:

After getting the all clear to go to Melb from Mrs NTB we found out we had a family commitment that couldn't be avoided.

Dissapointed but many thanks to dane and 7dom for offering me their spots. Hope you both get to enjoy the day and a Blues win.

Now 7dominator is unable to go to the R15 event on Friday 10 July. Does anyone want to go?!

daneo first right of refusal to you.

Put me down for lottery

So I've been left to go with "The Rhino".
Should be an interesting evening. Seems a hard bloke to get along with.

Might be meeting up for a beer at half time Dane if Rhino behaves himself.. My one game for the year.

Sounds good! Can't make any promises about 'The Rhino'

EOFY drinks from 2.30 that day. I'll be in fine form.

GORE!

Taff - the tickets we got don't have a reference to where the seats are. My guess is level 2, southern stand wing.

Carlton Sponsors Dinner Report

Friday 10/7/2015 Richmond v Carlton

I met 'The Rhino' outside Gate 3 of the MCG.
He was running a touch late due, which gave me time to observe the quality of those arriving in Richmond colours.
This was quite an eye opening experience.
We proceeded inside and were directed to take the elevator to level 3.
Just as the doors were closing, a leggy brunette stopped them and got in.
Took me a second to realise it was Megan Gale! She was unhappy the lift bypassed her stop. Blamed 'The Rhino'. Had it coming.

Anyways, we got to the function and sat at our table.
We met a couple of blokes there, who believed that their sponsorship of a player was also the kiss of death. So we are not alone!
They had been through quite a few of Carlton's delistees too.

The evening was compared by Sean Cosgrove who 'The Rhino' informed me hosted a show named 'Supermarket Sweep'.
I've never seen it. (Will google it at some point)
He introduced Lleyton Hewitt. Little Lleyton is seriously little, he spoke for a little while, was pretty entertaining.
Then steak was served.
Looked across during dinner and saw Jake King and his entourage. Not sure what they were doing at the Carlton sponsors night.
We avoided asking questions.
He took some photos with some types who closely resembled Carlton Cheer Squad members.
Anyways... had a fair few beers, then it was game time.
They gave us traveller beers for the 3 minute walk to our seats and for some unknown reason ice creams.

Came back at half time for sausage rolls, pies and scones. Also had prize draws.
Game was so bad to that point that 'The Rhino' and i almost went home.

We decided to stay however, got a few rums in, then back onto the beers (as they were free)

We then watched the second half with Jimmy Buckley.
He's quite a passionate man. Got a bit of an insight as to how the Club was during his time and his views on the future of the Club.
Got a fair few rounds in with him and watched the end of the game.
At the end of the game Alex Marcou rolled in and Jim introduced us to him.

Had a few more with them, then they suggested we all go over to the Pullman for more beers.
Chatted with them for the rest of the evening, pretty much listening to great premiership stories!
Alex then grabbed Stephen Trigg to introduce us.
Seemed like a pretty good bloke. Was pretty concerned with our injuries sustained during the match.
Chatted about the MRP and disappointment last week.

Was a great night!
