I'm very worried about our chances in the Ashes. My main worry is our poor technique and approach against the spinners. I can see Monty and Swann causing us lots of bother. I reckon our guys should attack them from ball one. Blocking and waiting for the loose ball is doomed for disaster. The Poms will provide Spinners' pitches. We should have picked Jason Krezja(?spelling). We have no-one who'll trouble them. Hauritz isn't bad, but Pietersen will hit him off his length. Bopara looks a danger with the bat. The big x-factor is Hughes. If he comes off in a big wAy, as well he might, that'll help us a lot. Don't know what he's like against the spinners. I'm worried.

"Hussey's was incredibly poor, especially for someone like Hussey" Hussey did get a grubber, though.
They won't have any trouble with Vin Couttie. His(?great)grand-daughter, Jill Spargo, is married to the MCC Committee member, and keen MFC man, Stephen Spargo. Her brother Leigh Couttie is also a keen MCC/MFC man.
Quote "Old Man Rivers" "We had an aboriginal kid in the 70's that promised the world - Colin somebody or that may have been his surname." Colin Graham was a very talented aboriginal left-footer. I saw him in Adelaide in the rooms before the game v. the Crows in 2004,wishing "Flash" all the best. Presumably he still has an interest in the Demons, but lives over there.He'd been in a "good paddock"! He played 35 games for the Demons from '75 to '78 after beig recruited from Kyabram(originally from Penola).
Hayden Robbins and Luke Norman.....two players I sponsored! I'm with "Flash" now!!
Robbie Walters.....9 goals in a game........to prison? Yep, Rhino, that was Nick Carter out there against Sandy on Sat. Didn't go too badly, either. And "Dirty" Dave Williams....if only we'd played him in the '87 prelim...yes, he captain-coached Rochester(where we got him from) to a premiership. What a handpass to Gazza at VFL Park for the winning goal in the(?)88 final v.WCE.
