Best Grand Final Party on the Planet!
During Grand Final week in 2011, the AFL ran a competition for fans overseas to submit details of their Grand Final party, including photos to help supporters connect for the big game.
Nearly 200 entries were received and the winner was from the tropical setting of Moorings Hotel in Vanuatu where more than 100 expats and locals turned up to watch the big game.
They win a 2011 AFL Premiers Lithograph signed by Cameron Ling and Chris Scott..
Around 100 people turned up to Moorings Hotel in Port Vila on Saturday 1st October to witness a cracker of a grand final between Geelong & Collingwood.
The event was also a fundraising event for the Vanuatu national U/16 squad who are preparing for the Oceania AFL carnival in December this year.
Faces were painted and traditional Island kai kai (food) was sold before the football action stole the focus.
Everyone reported that the day was a huge success and all are looking forward to turning their focus to the local Vanuatu Grand Final in November and the U/16 carnival in December.
