    At least until they start beating us.

      I have to be honest, I think it was a pretty good sledge as far as sledges go. Benny's hit on Scully was worse.
      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        I find the Battle of the Bridge increasingly irksome. This comes from a bunch of slackers who are supposed to represent people who live 20 and 30 kilometres further west while themselves living at Breakfast Point and environs. The mayor of Blacktown has a right to feel dudded. Rather than genuinely doing the hard yards involved in colonising the real west of Sydney they are parasites on the earlier pioneering work and hardships of the Swans. If this local derby deserves a name it should be simply the Sydney Derby and leave it at that.

          Maybe the game should be retitled: The Battle of Breakfast Point

                    Our Mummy rapidly becoming GWS Mummy. Good luck to him. And I suspect the ambassador role gives them a reason to pay him additional money outside the cap. So he can afford the petrol to drive to training from Bondi!

                      To be fair, generally the SCG isn't available for Round 1.

                          This year it's not even available for cricket. Apparently the C in SCG stands for catchball more commonly known as baseball.

                          While it's not on till next weekend I'm sure they are busily preparing the dugouts right now.

                          So NSW wins host rights to the Sheffield Shield final and it will be played in Canberra. Grump grump.

                            Yes I know that, but I wonder if we are locked in forever playing GWS in round 1?

                              Maybe we should try to lock down a Good Friday ANZ derby fixture, ride off the Easter Show.

                                it will be hilarious to see if anyone turns up for the baseball, especially since the players don't want to come. Still the ground staff think they can get the surface repaired enough for us to play on it in a months time. What are the odds? Oops sorry, that sounded like a turquoise betting agency didn't it....
