Liked the cover for "Some enchanted evening", Astronomy the live version has a great guitar solo..

"(We are) playing at (Marvel Stadium), fast deck, against a team that moves the ball probably the fastest in the AFL, and some of the best ball movement in the AFL," Longmuir said.

Can you believe he's talking about Carlton ?

We are quick but have lost two of our fastest players in Martin and Fisher.

Why are we favourites for this one??  $1.48 vs $2.67??

Not sure but it might be due to exposed form of our teams and our opposition.    The pies are turning out to be a tough opponent this year, Richmond are the reigning premiers and we were in both of those matches until about half way into the final quarter. 

Freo are missing a few star players to injury, they have had a 5 goal loss to Melbourne here in round one, back to Perth for round 2 against gws who look a spent force, and now fly back to Melbourne for round 3.  On travel alone we get a slight advantage.  Minus fyfe, walters, Logue, lobb, hill and Hamling theyre without a fair chunk of their walk up starts in each line.

A true sign we have to take the next step is that we shouldn't be going in heavy favourites if they were at full strength but really, they are a relative question mark so on exposed form and availability the betting odds are probably right to favour us.

Im no expert here but as people wager the odds shift too so I think its right that we are going in favourites and a bit of money must be coming our way to be much shorter.

BOC were/are a great band, Buck Dharma a very under rated axeman and of course Dont Fear the Reaper a classic track.
Graham Bonnet springs to mind during games with "Its all over now Baby Blue"..?

Sorry for off topic, but wow... EB1, top shelf comments re BOC! Don't Fear the Reaper... gotta be in the top 10 of opening guitar riffs ever... Buck is still wowing them. Not sure if this comment will make sense, re BOC, but... "I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell."

I think the favourites tag is fair enough, but those odds suggest a gap between the teams that's a bit much IMO.

How does
Out  Williamson (omitted) Martin, Fisher
In    Betts, Silvagni, Parks
sound??

Seems to be the word around Ikon today.

[Professer E]

Poor.  Lost pace and run.  But Parks for Williamson is a plus.  FIIK how casboult, Murphy and Setterfield survive after the past two weeks.
