What is it about fourth place in the home and away season? Last year, the Jolly Rogers were fourth before the finals and pipped the minor premiers, the Ball Boys, to win the grand final. This year, the Flying Pigs also started in fourth place, but gazumped the minor premiers, the Jolly Rogers, to prevail and seize the world’s greatest sporting prize.

Barney was in scintillating form on the day and took out the Stolichnaya Trophy for shot of the day.

The Rock seems to have cornered a market. In a repeat of his 2015 performance, he took out the Munted Reindeer trophy for best-dressed player in the finals.

Although the Asti has disappeared, The Ball Boys managed to “win” it, with an emphatic 7-0 loss to the Squealers.
