Is Kulikowski a young lad from Ports - Arno/Port Neill?

According to Port web site ... Kulla is from Port Districts.

Thats it for us ... someone had just turned off our power so thanks for joining us.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Except for the Dogs, because they aren't struggling.

[Big Phil]

Thanks to all who where involved, it was good fun and a new experience for Phil and I...

Look forward to perhaps doing it again in the future if the need arises but it is much easier calling the game on radio !!!

Cheers again guys and gals, see ya at the footy soon...

damn! i guess theres no point heading to the roost for some good old fashioned vitriol

[The Sleeping Giant]

See what I can do.

Good work Phil and Phil, well appreciated by many, I know even at the ground I enjoyed it as I could get the stats at the break for further discussion, well done and thanks!

[Dutchy]

Sensational work Phil x 2, thanks for your efforts

Looking around probably one of the bigger crowds I have seen at Prospect, If it is less than 3,000 I would be very surprised
Port struggling to clear out of defence, after about 4 tries Thring Marks centre win,

Mercer marks and looks to clear

Ends up centre wing Members side

Backwell finds Stewart on 50, kicks to top of square.

Gill crumbs, finds White who kicks to Alleway 30m out

And ALLEWAY KICKS HIS 3rd GOAL

North have kicked 4 of last 5 I think

Roosters 5.3.33
Port 3.4.22 ....... biggest margin of match so far.

Must not have been to many then Phil , 3500 is hardly a huge crowd.

[PhilH]

Biggest crowd at Prospect since Rd 3 2008, 3 years to the round
