The Söder players turned up in style and numbers at O’Connells in order to kick off the 2015 season. The only one not wearing a tie was Bluey, who as per usual was kitted up and ready to go. A mix of old and new faces pondered the upcoming season over a few beers while Mick did his best to recruit anyone with a pulse. President Burnell rallied the troops with an inspiring speech, letting everyone know what’s expected of them this year. Of course the question on everybody’s mind: “How are we going to avoid another Grand Final defeat?” The answer, as obvious as surprising, bring back the championship coach from 2009, Danne Jordansson! This got the guys excited and the party went on until the late hours with Bluey closing the pub in a closet.
