    You can bet on it

    A left field view of our success.
    Boring winner Roos really need to be like my Pa - realfooty.com.au
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

      I loved the line about him being on the incense.

          ... Until then, the Swans won't do anything, except that boring stuff of playing in finals year after year.
          You can bet on that!!
          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

              What a boring piece of @@@@ this is by Cameron Noakes. What did buddhist people ever did to him, to make him hate them?

                      Money = license.

                      Almost all of the craziest "nailing 25 years' worth of underdaks to the wall" art comes out of the world's richest countries. Zambia has never produced anyone who is as notoriously weird as Michael Jackson.

                      It follows that a guy who's only writing about money (making it via gambling), should be given infinite license to rave on about whatever comes into his head, before he gets to to the bottom line. They get away with some crazy stuff in the Fin Review that even the Tele wouldn't try on.

                              Fun tongue in cheek piece, Roosey would have enjoyed that. Even Parko admitted on AFL teams he had no idea how to handle the media when he was coaching. Roos takes interviewers to places they've never been before.
