wondering if Darren Mitchell might like to ask for that plaque back and express post it the Hogs camp

In all seriousness though - congrats on the 300 guys and well done on such a successful history!

FTR - the exact breakdown as of today:

Reg season games : 227 wins, 43 losses & 6 draws = TOTAL 276

Finals games: 29 wins, 8 losses = TOTAL 37

just spoke to our league statistician - she corrected the numbers:

300th game played on Dec 20th 2008

Reg season games: 228 wins, 44 lost, 8 drawn. - total 280 (81.43%)

Finals games: 29 won, 8 lost - total 37 (78.38%)

TOTAL games: 257 wins, 52 lost, 8 drawn - total 317 (81.07%)

none of these wins/losses include forfeited matches or cancellations due to weather etc. I'm guessing you don't included Forfeited wins in your 300 total either?

Thanks for the heads up.  I put the "first to 300" claim out there knowing that someone would shoot it down if I was wrong.  I will go back and edit the article on our website.  I frankly did not appreciate your team was so dominant down there. 

By the way, I tried to put a club championship event together between the NSW, Qld, Vic and ACT champions 2 seasons ago.  We found a window around the Labour Day week-end where we could all play and I had a venue and accommodation lined up, but I could not get sponsorship and it proved too much for the other clubs to handle.  If the Razorbacks are interested, then we should put our heads together to see if we can come up with a way to make a club event work.  The Stingrays were the most interested of the other clubs the last time I tried. 

Perhaps an off season 'mandatory training session' in Mildura (or somewhere in the middle) might be necessary

Are we able to find things like each teams for and against for the 2009 seasons?

will the real ballers please stand up

Now I don't think I am close to good enough to play so please don't think I am a disgruntled player who wasn't chosen.

But I noticed that there were a few Sharks players listed on the squad. How was this decision made as most of their team have never played a proper game of 11 man football? I watched them play against the Predators (well 1/3 of the Predators) in the 7 a side exhibition match and they were thrashed 38 - 0 or something similar.

Was this decision made to give them some confidence/experience? As I would have thought that you needed to play regular season games to get selected. I understand wanting to give them experience but it means that their are players (who may have just missed selection) from teams who played all season are missing out for guys who haven't even played a full game before which seems unfair.

Anyway not trying to take away from the guys who were selected just wanted to know the process.

Good luck guys and kill those dirty Melbournites!

As I said I wasn't trying to talk them down I just wasn't sure what the process was.

Best of luck to the Wolfpack - kick some butt!
