Saturday is shaping up as an enormous day for the club so spread the word and get as many along to the game as possible. Yes we are back in A Grade but more importantly we are in a Grand Final, attempting to win our seventh senior premiership. The boys have had an excellent season and it would be fitting to cap it off with a win in this our 50th year.
There is a tremendous mix of experience and youthful exhuberance in the side and that will take us a long way. The boys looked very good in knocking off Blacks last weekend, playing some exciting, attacking football. Just as importantly, there was pressure on their ball carriers when it mattered. So we can look forward to Saturday with confidence. Bring it on!
It is an exciting era for the club and a win on Saturday would continue the momentum.
The lead up -
** Thursday Night - Training Night - Hear the Premiership named and have a bite to eat - all supporters are invited. We are looking to get a good crew along to support the boys. The tone is set Thursday night so get on down to McKinnon and rev the boys up. Training starts at 6.15pm.

** Saturday - Game Day - Now there is definitely a VAFA Official Luncheon this weekend so all supporters are welcome. It commences at 11.45 for a 12 noon start. Let me know if you would like to attend as there will be Haileybury dignitaries attending. Otherwise I am sure there will be a possy at the Elsternwick Hotel.

AFL GRAND FINAL BREAKFAST
This is the club's biggest fund raiser for the year so we encourage all supporters to come along and enjoy an extremely jovial morning with some of Australia's best comedians. This is the 34th running of the breakfast.
