          Go and listen to Macca's speach. It's as good as Stueys was back in 2003. Basically, he is right. And I like a Captain who puts in work even with a speach. Its not a raraa gungho crapy speach, its a proper grown up, no holds barred, carefully considered, leadership speach. I shall listen to it again.

            I told you!!
            I'll even go as far to say that it was more inspirational than the one Kirky gave a few years ago.
            No holds barred allright ... be a blood 24/7 (and all that it entails) or we'll replace you!!
            Brilliant.

                The different coaches introduced their different charges ....

                Henry Playfair has got to be one of the funniest blokes going around. If he can't inspire the ressies ... no one can!!

                I hope his bit is online somewhere.

                    Starters was a prawn skewer, sitting on a bed of skip tabouli with a tomatoey type sauce.
                    Main was a hunk of beef with baby carrots, wedge potatotes, warm cherry tomatoes and a pea mash.
                    Dessert was creme brulle with a fancy toffee garnish.

                    The whines were exceptional (note, I don't drink whine much, but they were very drinkable) and they served Pure Blonde beer.

                        What in the hell is skip tabouli?

                        Is that Australian Tabouli or was it rehydrated in an industrial skip?

                            Sounds like a fantastic night! I had to go to the Essendon variation at Crown Casino (work is a major sponsor) and sat there all night listening to the Essendon ra-ra and thinking how much better it would be if I was at the Swans. I couldnt believe all of the Hird-hype either - I think I saw him walking on water to get home (then again, it was the Yarra, so walking on that isn't so difficult). It was a good speech by Hird but nothing like Macca's. Can't wait until we down the Dons this year...
                            (Food was good, though).

                              Would it help if he said McVeigh's face was covered in woad and he was wearing a skirt?

                                We'll do anything to hold the pink market so I understand the skirt.

                                But was he really on the woad again? I just can't wait to get on the woad again . . .
