Moving ceremony - I'm not big on 'Welcome To Country' speeches but that local elder set the bar high for those who follow. Not big either on primary-school kids giving speeches but those two did a great job.
Lots of volunteers from the Magpies (which had a good look about it). The footy was brutal and contested and the Magpies can feel that they played better than the final score made it look.
That ground is so pretty on a sunny day like that, pink cockatoos adding to the colour and, best of all, the Dim Sims and Magpie Burgers were to die for.
It's one of the best days on our footy calendar and we were all so proud to be a part of it...
Well done to you, Wests !!
