$1,000,000 for 10 goals
Was announced on the Footy Show that CrazyJohns will cough up a $1,000,000 prize to a player if he kicks 10 goals in this weekends Grand Final...
Could make for an interesting time IF.....the game blows out...
same deal ifa NRL player scores 5 tries in their GF this weekend.

and it looks like it will be a wet GF, so i think port will be lucky if they even get 10 goals! and the cats wont end up with any more than 16 goals!

How says you that?saintdooley wrote:and it looks like it will be a wet GF, so i think port will be lucky if they even get 10 goals! and the cats wont end up with any more than 16 goals!
On Channel 7, they were reporting (from Bureau info I think!) that there is currently a 65% chance of showers in the morning but only 15% in the afternoon.
Given there is about a 90% chance of less rain than forecasts (so it seems in Melbourne!), on current info, it will be bone dry tomorrow arvo!
Saying all that, at 2.30pm tomorrow - look up into the sky and make your own call!!!

It is a bit.saintsRrising wrote:Yep....Ambush marketing can be very effective.evertonfc wrote:Free publicity stunt.
It's probably not "free" - Crazy John's may have taken out insurance against it...what would the odds be? I'd say about $20 (even given the incentive).
So......is there a company prepared to cover them a mill for a $50K outlay???

If not an insurance company...they would have been able to have found a bookie to cover it.....but at what odds???saintspremiers wrote:

Minf you they are big enough to self-insure...and imagine the EXTRA publicity that they would gain ifa player did kick the 10 goals.
For costs that would also have had to "pay" Channel 9 in some way to make the plug.

You say it happened early in the 4th? Well, by the sound of it, Tredrea is having a fantastic game, so the chances are Tredrea will kick at least one more goal.aussierules0k wrote:If it in anyway, has any effect on the out come, or final scores, then it's a disgrace.
Even tho the odds are slim.... what if...
Early 4th Q, Port are 3 goals up, Tredrea has 9 goals... port player passes to Tred instead of slotting an easy goal.... Tred drops the mark, Cats clear... goal and end up winning the game by 3 points.
I don't like it at all. Should be outlawed.
Even though they lose, Tredrea could ease the pain by buying everyone a new car...
