Could earn that stake in a day... and with the winnings fund the p!ss up for every member, or fan at the ground.

But I'm hoping it's more from smart money than heart money.

Maybe whoever put the bet on ought to offer $1,000,000 of it, if we win it, to those who play in the GF. That might help wake them all up from their slumber and increase his chances of it coming off.
