All the same to me.

We have gone from bananas to "cauliflower" ears.

I am pretty sure I am.

I think Spencer will be at Casey this week.

Look forward to seeing Jimmy play next year after another pre season, under a new coach and further away from his hip operation. Under extremely difficult conditions and circumstances he played his best game for us. That tells me a lot about him. He will be a good player for us.

I really hope we don't decimate the Casey side like we have for the last couple of years. They deserve some success for their efforts.

Oh well, we haven't lost in Dawin for at least a year.

Another good sporting weekend for me. Dees smashed, Casey smashed, Australia beaten.

Then he will be waiting for a year for his letter.

Perhaps we could forward a letter of thanks.

It's easy when you don't try.

Jimmy is " DEVELOPING" . We will see a much better player after another injury free pre season.

We are being showed up today by a strong skilful great wet weather side at their home ground. Not playing Rodan in these conditions was a big mistake.

Broad is following in the family footsteps. His father chris broad, refused to leave the wicket after being given out, in a match in the mid eighties. Graham Gooch had to walk down the pitch and tell him to leave. Given the obvious dismissal, young Broad's performance was extremely poor. It is one thing on LBW's and disputed catches, to wait for the umpire, but when you know you are clearly out, you don't cheat. His performance was pathetic. Sadly it looks like the Poms will win this test, unless we bat brilliantly in the 2nd innings.

Would like to see Taggart and Tynan get a run before the season ends. They both need the experience and the encouragement to strive harder.

It has to be his farewell game against his old side. Not sure he is good enough to make the Casey side.

I know Davis is not a great kick, which is a pity because I think he has some ability and can play at either end of the ground. It will be interesting to see how the new coach evaluates him.

Hard to argue against that.

Rodan has shown enough to get another year.

I forgot Troy Davis, but I think they will keep him for another year. He is a big strong boy who is hard at it and if he can improve his kicking, is a chance.

Is this what Kevin Rudd feels like?

Being brutal, I can see Byrnes, Gillies, Jetta, Bail, MacDonald, Davey and possibly Sellar and Strauss leaving/retiring and maybe Jamar being traded. I think Pedersen stays another year as he is contracted for 2 more. Byrnes I would pay out and offer him a year at Casey playing/coaching. If we were offered a mid for Tapscott I could see him going. I think we will make at least 8 changes to the senior list.

He would be better off holding Gillies hand as he can't play either. Pedersen at least has shown a bit especially at Casey.

Doing what?

Unfortunately you are not.
