He used to try and sneak his pit bull into the footy club on a Saturday night after the senior game while he had a beer.
Gee Prince he supplied you guys with a mascot to lead you out onto the ground and for the annual team photo, the least you could do is let him have a frost with his hound in the rooms.
it's up to alan wookey himself to approve any/if there are changes.
Slocs is right it is Alan Wookey's medal as he instigated it and he sets the rules. There has been only one other countback from memory. It is so much Alan's medal that he keeps the votes given and tallies them at year's end and co-operates with Peter Barnes to get the visual show going.
Many years ago the Wookey Medal was just announced on Senior Presentation night without any of the hoolpla.

I think you will find that Alan instigated the concept from his position on the umpires executive not the DDCA Executive but I will get a full run down from the man when I see him Thursday night if you want.
In fact when I was Secretary of the umpires I had about 8 blank medals in my keeping which have since been replenished with a new lot.

I'm just trying to work out whether he initiated the concept of a Best and Fairest award, or he decided to change the name of the existing award in his own honour, or both.
So that I pass on completely accurate information about the inception and conduct of the Wookey Medal I will ask Alan Thursday and post it after I speak to him. I joined umpiring after it started so will get the full picture from him.

Funniest thing all night, Fridge and i wet ourselves when he introduced us to his wife as his nephew's. Then skulling a pint of coke full of smashed up chips and bullets just to get a cigarette was priceless. And steeley's efforts when we had to many pots about to say 'PATTY you cant skull two pots no way' so he did.
One thing for sure the bloke never got his hook and just enjoyed the comfort of free Beers and Cigs all morning lol.

Firstly eavers work is only of someone who sat at the same table as me last night i know that much, then the story loses all credibility when he clearly had no idea what happened at the Mark with all the lads.
So given the fact only in my mind 2 people sat on the table that could be Eaver ie: Slocs & Fridge. The fact the last part was way off the mark and Fridge was with me at the mark clearly shows that eaver is no other then. CRAIG SLOCOMBE
