Corowa

It is Panda, and I think that number will continue to decline as the weeks go on and the seasons draw to a close, following a theme of rival clubs, or I suppose clubs still playing in finals, looking for their season to draw to a close before the next club can make an announcement.

And reading the tea leaves, I think that's what's happening at Corowa.

Absolutely.

So a big announcement.

a pretty successful side there.

So Ainsley was part of the NEFL through sort of the mid-2010s and got some really great experience there with some great footballers around.

And yeah, then was lucky to sort of step into a successful period at the start of my senior career and was able to be a part of a few flags there at Ainsley and sort of probably had a A little break in my footy career after that and went and pursued some other sporting endeavours for a few years and then ended up finding my way back to Mango before obviously landing at Corowa now.

I want to touch on those sporting endeavours a little bit, Nelson.

So I've spoken to him a few times when he played for the Goannas and when I was based in Wagga.

So it's great to have him on board for Corowa.

And obviously with Sam signing again, he already knows the landscape, so he'll be able to give Nelson a great leg up, won't he?

Personally, I think this is a great appointment.

Jackson Clark came from the Clouds, Panda.

So he picked up in the last four games, eight of his 20 votes against Lavington.

He got two votes with two goals and 28 disposals against Corowa.

Three votes with a goal and 28 in round 17.

Yep.

There's some good signs of the Rovers, and I think coming into the grand final, that game at Corowa won't be the true reflection on this grand final.

I think we're going to get a nil-all scoreboard coming into this game, Panda.

It's a blank canvas, and I think we're going to get a really good arm wrestle.

Georgina was the same.

She went to Corowa.

She was one of the only Greeks there.

That was our

Yeah, so Simon and I have been talking about this for a while and never came, never bear fruit, never came, never actually took the final step.

And every time I went down to Corowa and other distilleries, I kept Simon in the loop saying, oh, look, I've tried this barrel, I've tried that barrel.

And we weren't above ready.

When I was ready, Simon wasn't ready and vice versa.

I'll put something nice.

Make sure.

And I said, I'm going to put Corowa from the side.

You know, you're going to put Corowa in there anyway.

It was pretty sore.

And then went to Corowa, actually,

to the hospital there.

Thought we'd get through a bit quicker and got the x-rays.

What, Gussie? Do you know

who Corowa beats in the preliminary final in 2022 in the thirds competition? Aubrey.

The Aubrey Tigers.

At Bunton
