good point 2blue. Although my sources tell me that the captains who voted on the balls after they were given test balls (both Kooka and Platypus) in Rd 11 last season, were actually given specifically made Platypus - not the same quality as was being used throughout the season. Apparently these were specifically made for the vote so were of a far better quality.
As long as Platypus can deliver the same quality throughout the entire season - but unlikely given they hand painted the pink balls for the Pink Weekend!!!!
The VTCA must be supplying Platypus with a heap of business. Surely being a major customer the VTCA would be able get a better deal/product. Try and name 1 club that doesn't expect it!
