Hi all , I went to Port Lincoln for the weekend for an all too common funeral unfortunately but the silver lining in the trip was a chance to go to the footy and watch my favourite team after the two Ports - Mallee Park Peckers . For the uninitiated Mallee Park is an aboriginal football team , it's been going for about 35 years for around 17 premierships .
More importantly it has produced the Burgoyne brothers , Byron Pickett , Graham Johncock , Lindsay Thomas , Daniel Wells , as well as lesser lights like Elijah Ware and Harry Miller .
They played Marble Range which is a team from Wangary out in the farm country near a Coffin Bay. Cain Akland was about their most famous export . Nathan McDowell that played with the Maggies was playing
By half time Mallees were out by three or four goals but Marble Range were back in front by 8 points at 3/4 time . They came out in the last , kicked 12 and won by 40 odd points .
Graham Johncock is playing coach , he's still in good shape , he didn't dominate but had a steady hand . Harry Miller didn't play I think he's coming back from injury , there was a young guy Dallas Barnes who'd earlier played u/15 so he could be one to watch .
Overall an very enjoyable game to watch , Mallees played a game a but like Port , trying to keep the ball out in open to start running
