Footy fans, welcome back

Published at February 23, 2007 in Football. 1 Comment

Today is a sweet day for all AFL fans. The pre-season comp starts tonight. I know that for many purists, the pre-season is a big fat waste of time, with crazy new rule trials and teams that are choc-full of reserve players. I agree to an extent, but I’m just looking forward to seeing some form of the game on our nice new big TV. The cricket was fantastic on it, I’m sure the footy will be just as good.

We are having a tipping comp at work for the pre-season. Here are my tips for this week:

  • Adelaide to beat Port
  • Collingwood to beat North
  • St Kilda to beat Brisbane
  • Geelong to beat Richmond
  • Sydney to beat Western Bulldogs
  • Essendon to beat the Carlton
  • Melbourne to beat the Hawthorn
  • West Coast to beat Freo

Wish me luck.

Forwards, backwards or sideways

Over the past few years, I have spent several thousand dollars on various pedal-powered vehicles. I must say, I’m pretty happy with my purchases, and I get a lot of use out my bikes.

It seems that the traditional forward-facing bicycle is getting a bit old, a bit stale for some people. If you feel that you fit into this group, maybe you should check out the Sideways Bicycle. I wonder how long until my Local Bike Shop has one in stock?

Personally, I think this “invention” is a load of rubbish, but nobody cares what I think.
