Launch and Auction News

Just home from Melbourne so thought I should let you know some of the auction items we will have at our Launch.

For the Aussie Rules football fans we have 2 signed and framed guernseys. We have a Port Adelaide Power guernsey signed by the 2008 team and an AFL Heritage jumper (150 games) signed by the Dream Team Captain, popular Adelaide Crow player Andrew McLeod, as well as the Dream Team Coach, Port Power coach Mark Williams. Needless to say the AFL Heritage guernsey is priceless - very hard to come by at the moment - and the Port Power guernsey will be subject to some spirited bidding on the night as well! (just ask Frank...)

We also have some other goodies lined up which I will divulge during the coming week. Suggest you buy your tickets early this week if you have not already got them so you can bid at the auction!

My trip to Melbourne was a bit sad - rather embarrassing in fact! We went over to watch our #3 son play in the SAAFL U23 team against the VFA U23 side. Expectations were very high as we thrashed the Vics last year. Unfortunately, after losing to SA twice in recent times, the Vics had way more to lose than us and pride had them winning the game by double our score. All that way for a loss! Being a supportive parent is very hard (and expensive) sometimes! To be fair though - the Vics did have some very good players in the side and had an especially good backline. Next year perhaps .......

If you do happen to read our site - leaving a comment would be fantastic. Any words of support for the guys or our fundraising will be passed on, hopefully with answers to any questions you ask.

Hope to meet many of you at the Launch on Friday night. Cheers ......
