AFL Players player award voted by all players,( 2022 winner Andrew Brayshaw )

Would players hold this award higher than Brownlow voted by umpires?

It should but the media surrounding and prestige over the umpires award outranks it.

I would think the players would rate this higher than the Brownlow but I bet there aren't any contracts that have clauses saying 'if I win the AFLPA medal I get a bonus of....' where there would be many that would have something about the Brownlow stated in them.

Anyone in here in the transport game?

I've bought a cricket bowling machine stand from Greg Chappell Cricket Centre - it's ready to collect from QLD, but they don't have it strapped to a pallet, it's approx 200kg, they don't have a forklift on-site and it's approx 2.7m long!

They're told me they'd like it picked up within a few days, but finding someone who can do it is proving very difficult and i'm out of ideas.

You'll need to :

Get hold of a metro carrier ( Jet, Comet etc ) and ask them to take a tail gated truck or a truck with forklift on board.

Ask them to deliver it to a National carrier ( Northline, Mainfreight etc ). $200-300+

As them to palletise the goods and deliver to you on a tailgated truck. $1000-1500 It's oversized so 2.7m = 3 pallet spaces

My guesses in italic are generous, I hope you got it cheap.

Bloody expensive bowling machine!
It’d be cheaper to find a friend to bowl to you.

    Go for a walk around Elizabeth Quay
    Head up to Hillary's as well
    See if you can get in a tour of Optus Stadium. Didn't get there when was over there but did watch a game

    Go for a drive up the Swan Valley as well, plenty of places to check out there
