A few here, including moi, were predicting a turbulent season just prior to commencement. IIRC old55 was definitely one that comes to mind. The younger list, pre-season form and injuries to Frawley, Morton and another who escapes me for now, along with the loss of experience in Junior and Bruce were massive factors for this reasoning. I guess it's subjective as to how turbulent it would be, but a younger inexperienced list can produce inconsistent results.

Like you and others I hope he shows something. But I've been hoping for some time and my patience is admittedly wearing thin. Some instances this season and before have been unacceptable. I have referred to them in the past as non negotiables. I don't like the hesitation, I don't like second guessing or on far more than one occassion the decision making on Morton's behalf. I understand he has played 60 games, I understand his height, scope for maturity, etc, I understand the interruption through injury late in the pre-season, but all said and done I haven't seen progress from him in 2011. It's been one of my biggest disappointments for 2011. I still hold hope, although it remains only a glimmer. I'd love to see him become the player we wanted. There is still time..

No. Never ever. I wonder how long this thread can hold out the 'other' thread in terms of posts and pages. I give it 7 days max. LOL. This statement is isolation is thread worthy. I'm not going any further, other than I think it's quite easy...in Bunnings. Had banana pancakes Sunday morning (banana flavoured mix - no banana's). And the Aussie dollar was the furthest thing from my mind. At the forefront was Brad Green...

Pretty sure in a game earlier this year, a thread started early in the third quarter...I could be wrong, but it was definitely well before the end of the match. $2.20 first time poster $4.00 ADC $6.00 Range Rover $20.00 Any other rookie poster Asking for time in minutes after 2:15 Monday is a bit much maurie. But I can tell you it won't be long after the 'We should get Brendan Fevola' thread, but before the 'Install the Reverend as coach' thread.

Yeeooww! Sensational ! You little rippa ! Just a phenomenal effort. Smashed the Schleck bros. Now 1 minute 34 ahead of second. Andy Schleck struggled and blew up. He's got the yellow jersey now and will parade in Paris tomorrow night ! Awesome for Australia...and cycling !
-
Go you good thing ! Apparently ahead of Andy Schleck by almost half a minute ! (according to computer) This is massive ! MASSIVE and EXTRAORDINARY.
-
He's not trying to hole a metre putt for a squillion. This is a gruelling event. 21 stages. A time trial where he trails by 57 seconds. It will be massive if he conquers this challenge. And I would go as far to say that if he were to get ahead, and go on and win, it would be as big as the Australia II triumph. edit: Just heard wih 20km to go in the trial, Evans is within 35 seconds of the jersey. 45HG - you could be awfully close with that prediction.
-
Good post. Agree about Schleck's move a couple of nights ago. A massive move in the history of the Tour. And if Andy wins it will be legendary. There's a couple of small hills in this trial, so it will be interesting.
-
Yeah...Sammy Sanchez is on a mission, he is catching the front group !
-
Evans has had bike trouble, had to change bikes and has lost time in the process - gear trouble or something; stopped 3 times. Andy Schleck & Contador look strong so far. Andy in a very strong position ATM IMO.
-
Have you backed Andy 45 ?

The scenery and surrounds are unbelievable. Some of the gradients that they ride up are huge, and as the commentator Phil Ligett says - some of the camera angles don't do the angles justice. Had a few laughs last night with some Aussie spectators running alongside the riders with AFL jumpers on. Saw a no.29 G Ablett fan, and a Essendon jumper. PS. Agree with your view on Frank Schleck. Seemed to spend less energy last night behind in the pack whilst Cadel did the hard yards (mind you nothing is easy in that event).

1min 12 behind now after last nights stage. Andy Schleck created history with an attacking move 60+kms out from the line. Bold move and only 15 secs off the jersey. Cadel Evans had to make the pace to take time off Andy Schleck's lead, no one would lead into the head wind and Evans led several riders right up to the end of the last mountain. Tough day at the office. But still a chance. Frank Schleck probably had the easiest ride of the lot and moves into third just ahead of Cadel in fourth. Contador and Sanchez struggled and dropped further back in time. Will be difficult for them now. Tonight will be interesting, I expect the Schleck's to attack again and aim to get more time on Cadel. So it will be interesting to see Cadel's response before the time trial. Whether he holds and goes with them or whether he tries to gain time on them before the TT.
