Yep, it was an April Fools joke. Hope you enjoyed it.
It is with great excitement that North Shore are today able to announce that dual Brownlow Medallist Gary Ablett will appear as a guest player for North Shore on 12th April.
It's already been planned as a huge day of footy. We've got all five of our teams playing back to back at Gore Hill Oval; with the highlight being our Premier Division clash against defending champions Manly. We'll have our season launch, a $1,000 cash draw, and our 80s night club function in the evening.
But now it's got even bigger.
Our club webmaster, an avid AFL Fantasy player, has had a lucky break. Winning the site's promotional competition, Turn Fantasy Into Reality, our webmaster was given the opportunity to select an AFL player to play a game for the club of his choice. And with the greatest of pleasure, he selected Gary Ablett to play for North Shore.
Ablett has achieved virtually every honour in the game. Two premierships, two Brownlow Medals. Week after week he picks up a stack of possessions for Gold Coast, often single-handedly keeping the Suns competitive and giving them winning opportunities.
Getting the services of Ablett for a day is a great opportunity for our club. We look forward to welcoming Ablett to North Shore on 12th April, and giving him a football experience to remember.
