Hugely healthy for the comp to have six different flag winners in six years
Congrats to Port Districts. They were the best team i saw all year and worthy winners. Nice to break a 31 year drought. I nearly collapsed last night when i saw PD stalwart Heath Pocock at the Harness Racing Drivers Championship and not 15 deep at Dizzy Square but alas I'm sure celebrations continued long enough for him to join after hours.
Interesting stat there Jim and great for the comp. Gives hope to all teams especially after one of the more even Div 1 comps i have ever seen. The counter for that stat may be that and correct me if I'm wrong, across those 6 years Port District are only 6th team to have appeared in the Grand Finals.
2002 - PD v PAC
2021 - PAC v PNU
2020 - GD v ROC
2019 - PNU v PAC
2018 - TTG v ROC
2017 - ROC v PNU
This would certainly give hope to Glenunga and SPOC who both looked right around the mark whilst Broadview and SHOC certainly wont be limping into the top flight in 2023
sorry to correct but it's 30 (1992) was their last A1 flag - they've obviously won a couple of flags since in D2. You're not the only one that's said 31 either..
98 and 07 Div 2
