I'm guessing the great Andrew Rogers wasn't playing then.

You're never getting another bottle of Paracombe Reuben again. Gee what a sponsor they are.

Pure elation after the game with some tears of joy from our long suffering players and supporters. Really hit home what we have been missing out on and the reason why we made the move to the AdFL!

Congrats to the Houghton reserves, they put on a clinic and had too much experience for our boys. Hopefully we can have a strong showing this week in the prelim and get another crack at them. It will be pretty special if we can get both sides through to the GF.

How many people were at the game you reckon? If it’s a Lonsdale v Marion GF I’ve got bets on with mates with the size of the crowd if it’s at Kenilworth.

It would get the biggest crowd from div 3 down, maybe div 2. Not just the teams themselves, id suspect there would be a lot of neutral SFL die yards making the trip to St.Marys also.

i'm no good with crowd guesstimates but the crowd was BIG.

GF crowd will be good we have a few travelling from the country and even interstate. To be honest i can't see too many neutral SFL followers there, maybe a few from Hackham (wanting entry to AdFL)and maybe Aldinga. It is semi final day in the SFL.

Fair enough. I had 1 bloke ring me Saturday and he was at least 12 deep by that point. He told me there was over 1000 there which I find hard to believe but definitely would expect much more than that next week if Marion make it.

Won't poll against us but seemed to be in the best most weeks. They won enough games for him to win it.
Wade might steal a few votes. And with his carry on towards the umpies on Saturday complaining all game, I guess they may have liked him during the year.
I don't think Rigs will poll many for us, don't think the umpies like him. Clinch should poll well for us. Loveridge didn't play enough games. McIlvar a smokey.

Saunders over his mate Wade and Rowson from St Pauls for mine....I know i'm shocked too there's other players than OSB in this comp.

There's always questions asked about some votes

We noticed some odd voting - had a bloke play about 10 minutes of a game and get the 2 votes

Umpires not communicating, you generally chat each break and rattle off a few each that you've noticed, tentatively book the top 5 or 6 in order at 3 quarter time and then confirm who moved up or down the list at games end as you're walking off.
I like checking sporting pulse in the evening to see how they matched up with the club best players.
