Under 17's: Jack May (Mallala) 41 votes from 15 games, fair effort.
Would've liked to have seen a count instead of jumping straight into the awards, could've read the rounds out while people were eating.
In all grades or just the U17s?
All.
It seemed a little rushed as they got straight into it presenting the under 14 runner up then winner. The kids need the excitement of watching the voting IMO.
Could probably do a junior one on a separate night with just finger food and have a more formal dinner one for the seniors perhaps or if they were to keep it all together they could still manage a count for each grade.
Cost cutting for the catering for the junior count could see more get invited, would be nice to have the league send out a formal invitation to the top 10 perhaps or top 4 from each team?
There was enough downtime to mingle or eat, Mallala done a good job in getting the food out swiftly so there was no time wasted there.
6:40-7 (14's count)
7-7:15 (entree)
7:15-7:40 (17's count & junior awards)
7:40-8 (dinner)
8-8:20 (reserves count)
8:20-8:30 (dessert)
8:30-9 (A Grade count/team of the year and other honours)
Veitchy raced through the count swiftly and clearly, each round took less than a minute.
Overall, it was a good night, 80%+ of the guests were there on time and everyone was quiet during the formalities, all the winners were deserved and it was pretty well organised.
