Hi guys,
Just got back home from the "Behind the Scenes" brunch this morning at Brookie. I'll tell you what, $50 VERY well spent! We started at 10 this morning and were greeted by Toovey, Rose, Kite, Seu Seu, Kelly Egan (assistant coach) and Larissa. After being split into a couple of groups, we were escorted by Larissa and George and were shown where Des sits and how a regular pre-game day transpires. We then headed down to the locker rooms and were shown the ice baths, lockers, change rooms and finally the media room where pre and post match conferences are held, as well as a final team talk before game day.
After that, there was a bit of a kick around and everyone from the club was more than happy to answer any questions we had. Finally, before brunch, we went up to the lounge and heard from Des and Liz (sports scientist at the club) who explained how the GPS system at training works and showed us some live results based on a few volunteers' movements on the field.
Was a great morning and an excellent birthday present for me. I'd strongly suggest everyone have a look into getting a ticket for the next one (if there is one) as it was a wonderful and informative morning. The players and staff were more than happy to sign merchandise and answer questions.
Larissa, and all those involved, thanks for this morning!
