Richmond’s flogging of Essendon on Saturday night was particularly sweet for ardent Tiger fan, Anthony Quirk.
Much to Anthony’s delight he was able to view every minute of the 71 point drubbing on his new 65 inch smart TV thanks to Star News Group and Harvey Norman.
Harvey Norman delivered the television to Anthony’s Narre Warren home on Saturday just in time for the live broadcast.
“It was fantastic to be able to watch the game on such a big screen, especially as I know a few Essendon supporters who used to give me hell,“ Anthony said.
Anthony saw the competition advertised in his copy of the Berwick News and entered “straight away“ online.
“I didn’t expect to win the TV but as the saying goes you’ve got to be in to win it.“
Anthony is a keen consumer of Star News both in print and online.
“I do read the paper. The stories are interesting and I like keep up to date with the local police and what they doing. I like to keep myself informed about what’s going on with issues in the area.“
As well as football and other live sport, Anthony is looking forward to subscribing to Netflix now he has an internet-capable television.
Anthony has already sold his old TV, which he bought 15 years ago, to a workmate.
“My old TV was only 45 inches but was heavier than the new one. I’ve hooked (the new TV) up to internet and can hook up my ipad if I wish to see photos on a big screen.
“I watch movies than anything else. I have a decent DVD collection, box sets mainly. I am a great fan of the X-Files and science fiction shows like Babylon 5. “
Anthony thanked both Star News Group and Harvey Norman for running the competition.
“I really appreciate their fine gesture in offering the TV for the competition. Harvey Norman’s delivery was very prompt and quick. The manager (Grant Hammond) was also very nice and called to congratulate me.“
