I had the best time tonight at the club - the original guests were supposed to be Matty, Gav and Pekka but for various reasons, we ended up with Bretty Ebert (YAY) and Stuey Dew (MASSIVE YAY!) with Pekka. It was sooo good! It was really bizarre to see Stuey be the older guy, answering the tougher questions and kinda looking at the boys like 'ohhhh u children!' - it was very sweet. I said that to him after and he was like "OMG the pressure was on!!!" - coz some of the women were asking pretty full on questions, in regards to the MCG problems and finals probs we seem to have. Bretty was just so cute - he's really shy, and coz he's the son of a Port legend, he sort of doesn't like the limelight - ppl spend way too much time comparing him to his dad..but he's such a dear boy lol! ANd Pekka - the most confident boy in the world, but in a very sweet, lovable kind of way - like running to the loo going "need to use the little boys room" and then talking about his very lazy attitude towards school - I loved "I done English" - omg Stuey gave him the hardest time ever - was cute!!!!!! When asked what his hobbies were Pekka said "Playing my X-box.......oh and school" LMAO! Loved Stuey talking about how he played cricket with Roger James in the country for 2 seasons, until the club found out and banned them...silly boys! He's still peeved tho, because he missed the final! LOL! And Pekka's re-telling of pissing off the Scott twins from Brisbane was hilarious!
Went up to get pics and stuff after and Pekka was hilarious. Most of the boys are kind of shy and hate all the PR stuff, so take it in turns, but he's like "this is great! it's such a laugh! I'm lovin' it!" And Stuey talking about working with kids, and what an amazing guy Pat Rafter is because of all he does with charities and stuff just made me love Stuey even more...he's just a really nice boy lol!
But apart from the lovely boys, we also heard Choco's sister, Jenny, speak. She works for the club, is also a teacher, and won the Footy Woman of The year award last year. She's just great for our club - shes's passionate, knows what she's talking about and reallllllly wants to help the club succeed - her talk was brilliant and totally inspiring.
