    If the Fremantle Dockers win the AFL Grand Final today I'll buy another entry BUMP :D

    And as a Geelong Cats man, can I just say "Go Freo". Now that was tough, but I could never utter the words "Go Hawks".

    Thanks Release EV, unfortunately no win today :x :evil: :twisted: ... :(

    However, we have a small crew of Freo supporters here and Freo being a port town and host to many a 'fleet week'... we've passed the hat (actually beanie) around and made a small donation anyway (Dave, please check your Paypal).

    PS. Love ya Pav :)

    you Aussies are amazing. I have no idea what you all were talking about but your hearts are as big as the outback and then some.

    PJ - as for you old friend...only a few weeks until fantasy becomes reality and you and I are reunited and rocking out to the band that created our friendship.

    Yeah no luck today and we have to watch this club celebrate for a few weeks....hard to take. Wish I was over Freo way today away from this weather and Hawks celebrating maybe at Little Creatures Brewery or the Left Bank

    Thanks Dave :D Talking sport (Australian Rules Football) sorry for using too much 'Strine' English - we tend to drop the end off sentences. 'Fleet Week' is when the US Navy is in town - as teenagers, my girlfriends and I would catch the bus to Fremantle and greet the sailors :lol:

    Entries into raffle have 11 hours to go to be accepted.
    Then a little later this week, a winner will be drawn and he/she can keep it, flip it, throw axes at it...whatever! it's up to the winner!

    Lots of runner up prizes to be drawn as well as thank you presents for your generosity and support. I want to thank everyone involved. To the donator of this amazing item, to all that have entered, to those that have bumped, to those that donated raffle runner up prizes,to everyone in between and yes even to SZ303389 for without his pissing on my lawn, we would have less views here as he inadvertently bumped the thread a few times. It's been an amazing experience with this entire process. THANK YOU!!
    XOXO

    Bump for an awesome fundraiser. I have a feeling that this thing raised a ton of $ for OYR of SJ.

    Finally got my 2 entries in.

    Everyone won as this is truly a win-win after seeing the amazing generosity and participation in this raffle.
    I will hopefully be doing the drawing later today and start the notification process, first to the variant winner and then to many runner up winners...

    I was just joking, even if I don't win I feel great for helping out your great cause. I'm sure you raised a ton of money which means you'll be shipping packages to the troops for a long time. :)

    10/1 Update:
    I shake my head in amazement and disbelief...Thanks to all of you, we more than tripled my expectations and hopes.
    THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, we have raised over $2700!!!
