Inclined to agree there, too many timble weeds I suppose. Unless we merged sports and general boards.....food for thought anyway.

What was that guys name last year who carried the yellow jersey for quite a few days ? He did ok in the mountains and won a couple of stages. Not Sanchez. I think he was French ?? He looked ok before losing ground in the latter stages. Could be a candidate..

I'm not suggesting it's broke, I'm suggesting to keep the thread alive.

Nice dc. I don't honestly see trying to find a middle ground and satisfy all, being a killjoy or a sourpuss. Do you dc ?

How about we extend the olive branch WJ, and instead of closing it, move it to general discussion, where it can continue on its merry way. It fits under 'general discussion' after all, given the nature of its content. And if Redleg wants it re-named or have the T$ taken out, we can make do ?? Si ?

On the money there cards13. I have a mate who knows Cadel well enough down at Barwon Heads who says his preparation has been interrupted. Compared to last years prep it has been pretty average (not what he'd like). You're right about his health. Positives are that he has been able to compete in the last few events. No Andy will make it interesting.

Well. One could argue it is after all about something. In this thread we can identify the fluctuations on banana prices and keep a good track record of Redleg's track runners. Oh and there's a countdown clock somewhere showing the time to this years National Draft...importance personified. Other than that, yeah it's tracking a la Seinfeld. But in this case there's no B$ ! Apparently.

My point that I made to jaded is that Neeld could very well have subbed Morton off for Dunn had it not been for Green and his groin. Yes, Green's days are coming to a close.

Agree with the sentiments but I'll add that Green was subbed off for Dunn at three quarter time with a groin. Neeld had no option but to sub Green off.

Sammy Stosur through to the French Open Semi-Finals at Roland Garros. Her favourite surface, and looks the goods again there, this year. Playing confidently with a good kick serve troubling her opponents.

Agree, further progress we see from the likes of Blease is important. I would like to see Strauss, Gysberts play. They've already misse virtually half a season once again. Need continuity of footy, we are currently seeing it with Blease.

You know Chanderpaul was part of the first post on this thread, WJ. Legend lives on...

Have already merged some. Will have another look soon old dee.

Agree Rogue. Good support.

Good for you. Expecting pleasant positive posts from you from here on in It will improve, don't be too dis-heartened.

Big chance. We lost to saints the week before by a few goals prior to you getting back Sat morning. Welcome back old dee.

"staggeringly slow", "wretchedly slow" ...wow, sorry I don't agree either with that description, Queen C. I've been of great interest on Wade's career and his introduction to International level of One Day and Test Cricket, and I don't see him being as you describe at all.

Hope you got on.

Takes two to tango

Damned if you're deemed negative, damned if you contribute enlightening material. Thankfully nuts you haven't commented on my post yet. Optimistically speaking there's undoubtedly a positive reply coming...

Like Ethiopia in the AJC Redleg. Lightly raced and good ew value. Should have won its last start. Protest was dismissed.

Flock or livestock ?

We prefer to talk about the footy players that show some cheek, do well on a flank, don't skirt or mince and those that like to play in a topside. Those that don't mind to put the shoulder bone in much like Garry Loin chop did with his rump.

Somewhat short sighted by Thomo calling Caro out in relation to the AFL mouthpiece. Caro sledges the AFL where warranted, particularly AD. Thomo has always come across with a bee in his bonnet where AD is concerned, and despite me agreeing with him on many occasions, the way he carried on last show was a little childish. Make your point and move on Thommo.

That has been exactly my thoughts, regardless of where we finish. There is also the option of trade if our club has convinced someone. Which would be a hard sell, but anything talks, particularly money. There's always the highlight of getting a blazer as a Mfc player, to help when convincing....{a little tongue in cheek}
