MY COMMENTS:
Not only did our wheelchair footballers claim the inaugural minor premiership, they also went through the season undefeated with a draw against the Saints the only blemish. A fantastic achievement to date, hopefully we can cap off it off on Sunday.

Having been at the VFL I like the title change. Congrats to our boys and girls involved.

Very fitting to win the first given the involvement of the Robert Rose Foundation.

Is that Geoff Walsh who hugs #22 at the end?

Congratulations to our wheelchair team!

It hasn’t received much coverage or profile, but it does hit home when you see a bunch of guys and gals wearing the black and white stripes and singing the song.

Very fitting that Collingwood win the wheelchair championship, given our injury list.
We didn’t slip in a couple of our AFL players did we?
Congratulations to the team. Very proud today that the Black and White stripes have bought Home the silverware.
