And a big warm welcome to quite possibly Mr Ratten's most defining game
in his short and sometime stormy coaching career.
Last years finals loss was forgiven, precise same result this year may not
sit well on the CV, unless they can conjure a top 4 finish next year.

Personally i think he has it in him, just needs to convince some of the
half arsed players with millionaire's attitudes.
If you cant be 100% having a red hot go from the first bounce today
then you shouldnt be out there.
None of this giving hack teams 4 or 5 goals start, yep, just lke last week.
Or just like the last time we played todays opposition.

My wish list.........
Judd BOG, if he is we will surely win
Garlett or Waite 5 goals, ditto to the above
Robinson puts R Shaw in hospital then doubles up on Goodes !!

Blues by 16 points

NO RAIN BUT BLOWING A GALE.

OUR KICKING SKILLS WILL BE TESTEED

Ballarat decided to try out a reverse drought this weekend and has knocked out every damn tv station... 4 hours to fix it or I am going to be drunk and angry.

Blues to win by 58 goals!

There's no roof there yet right?
But is it pretty sheltered in there anyway?

Might work in our favour, were more used to spraying kicks!!

Very very windy up here and been raining and overcast all week. Constant swirly gusty wind. Track will be heavy and grass long but this wind will dry it out a fair bitby game time.
Need to run the ball and handball. Yarran could be handy if Carazzo does not make it.

I can't help but feel that we need an extra tall so we have the option to throw Waite down back if required.

I don't rate Setanta but perhaps this would have been the ideal game for him.

Heaps of Navy Blue at Darling Harbour when we went for a walk this morning
Very windy but fine
On the train out to Olympic -too early but let's face it it is a final
Do we have a radio station up here to listen to the game ?
GO BLUES

Triple m 104.9

oh it says 2:40

wow i really am about 3 days behind


i thought it said 12.40

2.40 over there

is 12.40 here

as opposed to 12.40 there

being 10.40 here

so with the coverage starting here at 12

it will in fact be 40 mins before the game starts at 12.40 (which is 2.40 over there)

as opposed to the 1hr 20min delay i thought i had



BANG ! - head explodes

If it really is that windy then I'd say we'll be right with less talls and more mid-sized runners, even if Setanta is very mobile for his size.
