Now no one got within 5 goals of Seaton all year and they were that confident they would win the GF they had s***t loads of premiership tees made up before the game and even the PLAYERS wore them to the game and 'aparently' they were spotted around the town the night before the gf pissing on just thinking they had to show up to take the A2 premiership.
The result; SHOC's won the A2 flag by 1 solitary point in the biggest choke in SAAFL history. It is still laughed about to this day.
thank god you posted that. my boys old igs debuted in the ammos way back in 72 and went through the maiden year way down in a7 undefeated until the last day of the year, and mailed in a shocker in the big one and lost it comfortably. won three flags year on year up to a3 over the next few years, and have basically bounced around a2 (rarely), a3 (mostly) and a4 (occasionally in a bad one) ever since. the debut year still riles the old blokes still around the club.
