    Prepared To Sacrifice?

    There is no logic, just vainglorious ambition by the ICC to expand the empire. It's quite common in big business.

    Yeah, was pretty upset. That said, Saints aren't travelling as well as the last timewe played, so I don't think it's the complete disaster it might appear. Plus we get an extra days rest cf what would have been the case if we played Geelong. I know we'll have to go to Adelaide if we lose and the...

    Combination of the fact you get ripped off even worse than at the 'G, you can't see because of the sun if you're on the wrong side, that the MCG is the real home of footy, and that I'm an MCC member. If it were a final, or a game we had to win to get into the finals like the Essendon-Hawthorn...

    It's interesting with Fraser. Wood played so much better as the sole ruckman in the team, he seems to thrive on the workload and responsibility - and in the last couple of weeks his work around the ground has improved to the point where he was probably better for us than Fraser is in 80% of his...

    well that sucks. Had to listen on radio as I don't have Foxtel, and refuse to go to Docklands. Sounds like the Doggies played well, but also like we were well down. Pendlebury being out hurt us - with Swan and Davis starring I think he can be a bit underestimated at times but he's a big part...

    Jurrah is such an exciting talent. Great story.

    Reckon that'll be on Friday night. Adelaide's game Sunday arvo. Geelong vs Collingwood Sat night and the Saints-Dogs game on Sunday.

    Hmmm, intelligent comeback. When a team boasts a one-way player like Andrew Lovett as one of it's best, that's pretty damning. Reckon even if half your team wasn't going to be missing next week for going the snipe, Essendons game plan would get shown up big time in finals football. Still, well...

    Essendon must be the least deserving finalists in many a year. Lloyd played his last game?

    ^^ Wonder whether they'd do a deal with Richmond whereby they'll pay part of his package or back end it, on the understanding he'd go there next year in exchange for one of their high picks. If such a deal is even legal under AFL regs.

    England axe 50 over domestic cricket

    40 over cricket is the future my friend.

    Heard Delidio might not re-sign - he's out of contract, isn't he?

    ****ing ridiculous. Hope the Hawks take it to court and win. The tribunal is a total kangaroo court and when no-one is sure what is allowed and what isn't, and it can't demonstrate any consistency in its ruling of what is suspended and what isn't, it was always going to come to a head in a...

    Finally got my hands on a copy of "Mystery Spinner" by Gideon Haigh, without spending $60+ on Ebay. Has been my white whale in second hand book shops for three years now.

    Michael Hussey – Is his time up?

    Think Hayden would really have no desire to come back. If the Watson experiment doesn't succeed, and if Hughes fails, and you don't like Jaques, there's always Chris Rogers who was one of the top scorers in Shield cricket last year. Selectors seem to have drawn a line through his name on the...
