... just as long as they are bleeding Red and Blue, thats all I care about!
-
I bloody hope so, he has another year to go on his contract doesn't he? Not with standing the lose of his football knowledge and ability to connect with players another pay out in the $400k mark would just about end it for me.

Macca just watched it! BRILLIANT!!!! What a great bloody win!!! Could have been a second quicker too, old mate 5th was slightly off the end of the line. Well done to the GE team, jesus they just won a stage of the Tour and have Gerro in the yellow! BMC as a team looked really average, Cadel looked bloody strong. He pulled some big stinks in the front and finished off leading the team home. He lost a lot of time, they all saying its only 25 seconds, bull dust that is huge at this stage against Froome/Sky!

Billy we are all allowed a voice, put on ignore if you don't want to "hear" Uncle Saty. He posted what was actually said not a slight variation of it, Chinese whispers would have had Trenners stating the players hated Neelds defensive minded game plan by end of the day.

Was off work crook yesterday, asleep early... have recorded this and can't wait to watch it tonight!!!

Great stage. Good lord they just bloody fly on those tight, twisting roads. While note huge hills watching them on the way down is insane. Watching Chavanel fly down the hill last night was brilliant and amazing considering he must have a pair of the biggest brash ones! "Gerro" with the win! Green Edge rode a perfect team race to set him up at the finish. For him to beat Sagan (what an all around machine he is) was exciting to see. Also loved how they cut to Scott McGrory after the race as he is "part" of the Green Edge team for the race, they had informed Scotty the night before that Gerrans was going to lead out for Impy. Obviously as soon as he had turned his back they sniggered and winked at each other as it was the other way around. Love watching this race, so hard to stay awake all night though. I think I had to nippy naps last night, not looking forward to the long mountain stages ahead but soooo looking forward to them. Cadel has been looking "prominant" at the front towards the end of the stages, staying out of any potential trouble. Going to be very interesting to see the team TT tonight, where it puts BMC and setting the team up for the "transition stages" before moving into the hills on stages 8 and 9.

Who cares
-
The driver was Basque, fark you Telegraph journo! Bring on stage 3.
-
Don't let that hold you back, give him a call the good folk of DL need to know!
-
Does anyone know if the driver was Australian? I would assume he was French, the Telegraph in the UK made it out like it was the Aussies messing with Cav... f logs! As to Contador, I am not sure where he is at, he also took some bark of last night. His knee was an issue last year (besides the drugs) he said he was at 75% during the Giro, and he is at 90% now. I don't think he will get near Froome at only 90% and I think he is not at 90% either.
-
A few of the sprinters will struggle if they are sore after yesterdays crashes, Sagan, Cav in particular. Agree it would be amazing, in fact I think one of BMC will finish on podium and it will be a young guy not the elder statesman. Love what Cadel has achieved but just not sure that big diesel can grind it out of 3 weeks as consistantly as it used to. I think Froome and Sky will be doing everything they can to break Cadel (and others) as early as possible. Interested on your thoughts on Andy Schleck? Have not really heard much about him in the build up but he must still be a threat.
-
Just watched the replay again, Jimmy T is going to be a quality player indeed. His skills are some of the best we have in the team already, not saying much but they will only improve.
-
Oh good lord what a finish!! OGE bus no less! Crashes galore, the best sprinters knocked out, everyone given the same time. Amazing start to 3 weeks racing.
-
Haha great all round!

“I’m not as strong as Brad was in the time trials but I’m stronger in the mountains than him. I can accelerate more easily, answering the attacks of the pure climbers. That can change the face of the Tour,” says Froome. “Last year the objective was to stay at the head of the peloton with Brad but this year, without doubt I’m going to try to attack in the mountains.” Watching him last year "waiting" for Wiggins on a couple of the climbs, he seems even more confident this year and to see him stake he will attack on the climbs. Not many will go with him if any I think. PS fark the doper who needs to just go away for good.

It is just a BRUTAL 3 days!, The "Alpe" twice in one day, Col De Madeleine on day 2 and finishing off with a "relaxing 125k" with Annecy to finish. How many will drop out on the 3rd day of that triple header?!

I spent a bit of time watching Rodes and his direct opponent last week at most stoppages, was not pretty.
-
Magner has a defensive side, Rodan..... not that I have seen.
-
BRING IT!!! I have been bereft of Hockey and Bball finals as I no longer have foxtel.... I am farken haaannngggiiiiinnnggg out to watch this years race. COME ONE CADEL!!! I think Froome and Sky have it absolutely sown up as Froome has been in great form already. Contador has not been at his peak (gees I wonder why....) and Cadel everything must go right for him, no colds, no virus, no bike issues and issues for Sky/Froome, as I think age maybe be catching up to him, his team mate Tejay might even over take him as the team number 1 during the Tour. Keen to get along to Domestique pop up bar, in Fitzroy at some stage to enjoy it too, might be a tougher ride home....

At least he knows how to clean up [censored]... and good to see he was a plumber too!
-
CB if you couldn't see that you're kidding yourself. Would you want to stay at Melb as a 25, 25+yr old player? No chance. It's still a bleak future at this stage, I'd be looking at my options if playing finals was a key priority. If money was, I'd stay at Melb as I doubt many if any if out players would get pay rises going to other clubs.
-
Maybe I'm jaded but I thought Rodan was poor today, I thought that is the last time I would like to see him in our jumper. Magner should play ahead of him every week for the next 10 weeks as DRod has no ability to put any pressure on his direct opponent. As in second rate ineffectual in that area.
-
CB... too many, JW is not a complete weapon and sure he ever will be. I still get frustrated by his "attitude/effort levels" across passages of play, qtrs, the whole game. He has moments indeed but he is a liabilty in any high ball situation going into our fwd 50 and his defensive work rate is second rate. Improvement required but he had a few shots on goal tonight, good.
-
If he could add a boot to his quiver he'd be dangerous. He does have a go, a go that is above and beyond our current no1 ruckman.

This is 16th vs 17th...
