Great script, great show, however there is one statistical error... They say that Collingwood got the lowest score in a grand final in 1960, with 2.2.14. In fact, Richmond scored 1.7.13 in very bad conditions in 1927. Jack Fincher scored the only goal for the tigers. If you ever get the chance to watch the stage show, do so as the cast are awesome!
