1966 is a long time for this Saints supporter
September 24, 2009 – 8:36 am
Ever since St.Kilda was certain of a finals berth this year, I’ve had to reassure my extended family: we only have to win our last game of the year to be Premiers.
Dilshan: better than your imagination
September 24, 2009 – 1:09 am
You know when you have that dream that you are the most Awesomest thing alive.
Either you are a rockstar with men throwing their boxer shorts on stage, a boxer with old white Jewish writers saying you are better than Ali or some politician that fixes the world and also fights off evil aliens.
Everyone has the [...]
There will be blood: Wednesday’s twist
September 23, 2009 – 8:54 am
If yesterday was round 1 to the ARU (via Grumbles Growden) then today is Demo and the players’ turn to strike back. However, I’m not sure they’ve helped their cause much at all, potentially the reverse.
At the bottom of this post is the RUPA’s official reply to Grumbles’ expose yesterday. It’s goal appears to be [...]
There will be blood: Wallaby trial scratched
September 22, 2009 – 7:40 pm
Heard about the scuppered pre-tour trial match? In short, the ARU and Dingo Deans wanted a Possibles vs Probables trial (under lights at the SFS or North Sydney) to help decide the peggings of who goes on the Grand Slam tour this year.

Reason for football fans to be cheerful
September 15, 2009 – 11:33 am
SBS has reportedly already booked $20m worth of advertising for next year’s football World Cup coverage. They deserve it for their long term support of the beautiful game when commercial TV stations weren’t interested.
Gripes about SBS being allowed to have ad breaks aside, Australian football fans should be thankful the station has the TV rights [...]
The unlikeable All Australian team
September 14, 2009 – 12:20 am
The AFL All Australian team will be announced on Monday night. Given the debate that always surrounds the team, I think it is actually a statutory requirement to offer an opinion on where the selectors got it wrong.
In that spirit, I offer up my own version of the All Australian team. To make it [...]
