Round That Was - Grand Final

All things O&M Grand Final today in front of 6,673 people where the Rovers completed the three-peat with a 35-point comfortable victory over their arch rivals, the Wayne Greater Magpies, 15-14, 1-0-4 to 9-15, 69.

Gussie, I don't know about you, but it felt like there was more than 6,600 people there today.

Yeah, David Sinclair, the chairman of the ovens in Murray,

made a great call to me at the end of the day.

And he said, Gus, to the optics, I was happy, but I wasn't satisfied with the number.

And that, to me, really hit home.

That was a real true reflection of what I thought the day was.

And maybe now with the ovens in Murray for the first time using electronic ticketing systems – that some former GMs and some former people on the gates might have been exposed by adding a little GST to the gates over the years because the crowd felt...

I felt it was a fairly decent crowd in an optic perspective.

Compared to the last few years.

The grandstand was full.

There wasn't a seat in the grandstand, and the hill was chockers.

So I think if you had had an Ovens and Murray club based in Albury-Wodonga there, you might have got a little bit more.

But I also want to give a shout-out, Panda, on the crowd.

The noise coming from the netball court throughout the day was spectacular.

Especially that B-grade game.

Yeah, overtime and well done to the Panthers who saluted in that one.

But I thought the crowd was good.

The live stream numbers were great.

Yep.

And I think it was a really good reminder that if some people think country footy's slowly dying, I think the Ovens of Murray will have things to say.

Absolutely.

Let's rip straight in to our Monday highlight from the grand final.
