2013 Seattle Grizzlies Exemption Request for Matthew Zapel

Matt is new to Aussie Rules, introduced to the game as a schoolmate of Grizzlies Matt Wood and Sam Denny. He's a student with limited funds and registered late in the season, since then he's accrued 2 points from Metro and is playing v Portland on 5 Oct, so plans to end up with a total of 4 points. He also traveled to the Stumptown Throwdown and has participated in Metro footy. In every way, aside from his late registration, he has been a committed member of the club and we ask that this first year player be granted a points exemption toward qualification for 2013 Nationals.
