Woudn't think one week in those conditions would be enough though. Maybe a couple of months.

Same deal with altitude training.

    We went on a walk through a part of Kakadu a few weeks ago. It was about 37oC, with humidity of around 70%.

    Also, we saw a family of wild pigs and a crocodile. With the Wet Season well and truly here, and Kakadu being comprised of a lot of flood plains, I hope their walk is somewhat elevated. The crocs only multiply during the wet as the water levels rise, so I also hope they have a gun (or at least the sense to stay away from water's edge).

    Mahoney says that research indicates there are benefits to training in humidity. Anyone know what the theory is behind that?

    Yeah. The beer tastes so much better afterwards.

    Sam Blease is the most annoying according to Mark Neeld, is that a bad thing?

    Dom barry weighed in at 67kg? Look forward to seeing him in 2014.

    No, not at all - Bleasy has always been a unique kid with a great sense of humour.

    Neeld's tone was almost affectionate.

    Gina Rinehart, Clive Palmer and Andrew Bolt?

    Given your professed love of Andrew Bolt that's not surprising (though i reckon Lance Armstrong would be a Republican)

    Nah he's a cheat, he'd be a Democrat.

    Don't think much of them? Are you serious, I certainly hope his coaching instincts are better than his political choices.

    I have a particular fondness for anyone that makes complete sense every time they comment. It's a particularly admirable trait.

    Then I look at those that despise him, which includes posters on Demonland such as Biffen, Deeluded and WYL.

    In anything was ever a rolled gold stamp of approval...

    I loved his selection of ideal dinner guests.

    It warmed the cockles of my pinko greenie heart.

    That's the problem. You don't "think" well enough.

    Romney surprised by performing reasonably well under difficult circumstances, which included an orchestrated campaign of character assassination, but there'd have to be better Republican candidates. So no.

    For a Rhodes Scholar Abbott makes too many mistakes and tries too much to appease the chattering classes with an equally ridiculous carbon dioxide policy. Even if it's more palatable. And now he's allowing a misogyny campaign to bite while he sits looking like a deer in headlights. I would have brutalised Gillard for her appalling policies and waste of public money. He's been way too soft on this disastrous Prime Minister. There's a real lack of talented leaders in the Liberal party. So it's a no to dinner.

    And while I have the utmost respect for Cadel Evans' achievements if there's a more boring person walking the planet I'd be fascinated to know who it is. So it's no to dinner with Cadel.

    Looking forward to your next "thoughts".

    I had no intention of raising your ire by contributing something so trivial. Your response though, is amusing to say the least B-H.

    These are my thoughts...

    I'm bored.

    Happy to engage.

    I'll give you one clue. The lovely lass in my avatar gets a gig.

    If that's the case, I don't think you'd be inviting any pollies, mainly because they wouldn't have your full attention. And of course they would be wasting your time. All things considered given your admiration for the lass.

    I guess the question you would like to answer is....who are your other two guests that you would like at the dinner table?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
