Enjoy the posting again on Le Tour in this thread, great work Macca on the Climbs. Agree with your recent posts re: cleaning up of the cheats. Evans remarked it was bizarre the lack of support for Froome in the climbs. Evans might be buoyed by this if it continues on upcoming climbs. There may be a chance to catch up time somewhat. It will be fascinating either way what unfolds.

OMG. Great Scot!

Interesting. I see Whateley says he should come in too if we're going to win the Ashes. Does this mean the penalty is higher if you don't hand in an essay, rather than punch someone in the face? PS. Understand the different coach perspective (rules).. Anyway, it will be interesting to see if he is selected for the first test.

I prefer Ninthmond. Just for kicks.

Still looking forward to it. I'm more than comfortable with Boof. Whilst he maybe considered a bit of a lad to some. But I believe he's also one who prides on getting the best out of his team, and sends a positive message to all players. Not that the past coach didn't do that, but there will be a different delivery and I think he'll help with confidence and ramming home messages to anyone out of line.

Geez, smack bang in the middle of the Spring Carnival here in Melbourne. I got the vibe BBO of how prestigious this event may be, but excuse me for not being able to attend that weekend. Feel free to present the relative information here in my absence. It would be worth looking at, and maybe I could do a Skype hook-up from Caulfield to analyse the sales.

Can not believe what is happening there. Fawad being sent home for Smith in. For "strengthening the batting." Did I hear that right?! Boof Lehmann new Australian coach. Unbelievable. I'm going over there - I may even get a gig, given the backflips going on. PS. I agree with the Lehmann appointment by the way, just didn't see it coming 2 weeks before the Ashes - I don't think anyone did.

If its anything like the Moloney-Neeld scenario, you have two options. Send the nag to Brisbane or change trainers and get P.Moody.

It's becoming apparent that even when our club doesn't play whether it be the off season, or during bye weekends....our club manages to grab the headlines. The media should really and truly thank us, from the bottom of their heart. We've filled their pages with so much spak filla content, Selley's are jealous.

I've seen his highlights and read the opinions of Queensland and the VICS. He was very impressive against Queensland in the S/Shield (or whatever they call it now). Yes he hasn't played much but whilst at the crease he presents a heap of chances according to his colleagues and is consistent with good control. If he gets a chance, hopefully he will make the most of it.

Well it's not too good to see Warner having a late night altercation with Root of England and being stood down from the Black Caps game. Will he be sent home? That would be extreme one would suggest but it apparently by reports remains an option. Nice to see the boys are having such a great time over there........ Culture anyone? Or just another case closed "one-off"? Anyway on a good note, it's good to see my earlier good mail on Fawad Ahmed coming to fruition. He's just about rubber stamped for citizenship and already in England. I'm hoping he can turn it around a few Poms, it will make the liquid amber and intake of northern hemisphere Vitamin D rays all the more satisfying whilst I'm over there.

What happened to AFL360's Robbos expectant MFC press conference on the Tuesday after the Fremantle game? So we've had an expected something after the GC game, the Freo game and now the Hawthorn game....they will get it right eventually one would think. And what about the ABC jumping the gun claiming "Mark Neeld is sacked" ? They're certainly earning their money, aren't they? Perhaps they could do well to consume more phosphate by peeling back a banana.

Got to take what you can get, ey

Whoever has Guptill. Decent knock of 189* v England. He now holds NZ's highest ODI innings. And helped clinch the series win v england.

So if it's not after getting belted by GCoast at the G, it's getting belted by seasoned finals team in Freo at Pattersons... Right.

Spot on from my POV.

So you're familiar with AOD9604? You've been ahead of time BBO.

Having a night game ANZAC Day in Darwin would make a sponsor(s) happy....

I agree. I think there's an opportunity for 3 games on Anzac Day. I would suggest that the NZ game is kicked off first at around 12:00 our time (2pm NZ time). Then the Essendon v Collingwood game at the G at 2:40pm. There is an opportunity for another game in the west (ie. Derby match Freo/WCE) OR in Darwin at night. I think it might be worth the club pursuing the Darwin game at night on Anzac Day. Australians recall that Darwin was bombed by the Japanese during WWII. This gives the AFL and clubs an opportunity to all play on ANZAC Day. With three games at three separate times with no overlapping. St.Kilda could play someone different every year. And Melbourne could play someone different every year in Darwin. Three ANZAC medals given out gives the opportunity for all participants a chance to receive one if best on ground. Not just Essendon and Collingwood players + Dan Hannebery.

Not that Range Rover would give two hoots..

Liked his efforts. Also liked Terlich, and I like what he offers the team.

Obtaining the offspring of Frankel-Black Caviar could start a war.... Redleg, do you have any of your horses in work at present? Back on BC, I'll try and post a link I saw the other day which had the concluding stages from the turn in her first 24 starts. Amazing footage. If you have 5-10 minutes spare it's worth watching and reminiscing.

It's a great record Redleg. Absolute freak of a horse. What isn't a great stat is that Black Caviar had more wins in it's racing career than Melbournefc had wins.

If you travelled North of the border into NSW there were plenty of critics at Randwick last Saturday. Now they are all salmon and black fans, thanks to BC spanking the best they had to offer. Has to travel overseas again to find any competition. And Gerard Whateley should be seriously contemplating a new book for BC.

Lol. Did the wipeout take away my post? I posted something about taking Lyon and another spinner. And that the Aussies will likely take two or something. I can't recall.
