Falcon concerns about a fiasco fermented with three Falcons in the bottom four effectively ruling them out of the teams trophy with an exciting finish ahead with the Magpies on 7 points ahead of both the Hawx and the defending champions the Swans.
With Falcons becoming Swans and Hawx becoming Magpies, day 2 is setup to be one of the most exciting in Woodepcekr history with the top 4 with a great chance of taking the trophy.
Dr Zooce said that he was excited to be looking at trophy number 2 and a plan to take the 2027 event to Taihape and is the TAB favourite to emulate Long Strokes as a double champion.
