they key is to make it compulsory to for all players going to sell say 5 tickets and a raffle book

Nice numbers - we have about 46 down at the moment, but I would say that some might drop out when its time to pay up - if we end up with 40 we'll be happy.

Grand Final on Saturday at McDonald Park in Mount Gambier - Portland versus North Gambier

Was the worst GF I've ever seen. Crowd was awesome, got to the ground during the reserves presentation and couldn't believe the size of the crowd, would've been 6-7k. Too bad both teams were black and gold and you couldn't tell who was barracking for who.

Game was over before 1/4 time. 9 goals to 1 sorta kills the atmosphere.

For those who don't know, Portland won 27 goals to 5.

Good to catch up with Farbs and Ash Man on the Friday night briefly, couldn't move on the Saturday night though.
