The non-involvement in club functions doesn't go down well, I know that. I seem to recall him tipping in $150 or somesuch into the Poowong coffers as some sort of donation. Maybe he's just anti-social, or under the thumb.
As for the grounds. Phew, it ain't gonna be much fun on some of them this weekend. So much for the drought. I will be interested to see how Korumburra's ground goes. They keep telling me they did a lot of work on it over summer, but it didn't look too good to me, even when it was dry. It seems its use as a showgrounds causes it to suffer, thanks to the horses' hooves (not rhyming slang). One good thing is the installation of new floodlighting there. Should be good, except when the weather is like this. MDU is shit at the best of times and Yarram can get really sloppy.
Plenty of other grounds around Victoria have horses on them over the summer, that couple explain a slightly rough surface but not a bog heap. Too many farmers tried to fix that ground and they have stuffed it up 3 times.
Wow he chipped in 150, what a great bloke even though he was on 1000 a game!!
Gun player though, kicked the best goal i have seen in a GF that he won at Nilma. Seems a good replacement for LJ, just hope he can step up when it matters in finals like Luke usually does.
