The Sports Desk / Re: Stuart O'Grady retires then admits to doping
Its not a great way to end a career at all. Its a shame such as respected Australian cyclist has stained his reputation. I was always under an illusion that Australian athletes in cycling were clean and followed rules. I guess I was mistaken as the sport, sponsors and money involved have made the sport come to the lowest of lows in the last dozen years or so. There is hope the sport will recover, and there is a chance this problem of doping/substance use will be eliminated once and for all.Liked
It still gets me how Lance Armstrong got away with his issues for so many years. How he lied. How he went out on a path to destroy the lives and careers of those who accused him of wrong doing. Still love cycling as a sport. It will take more than what I have seen in the media over the years to stop enjoying cycling. Its just a shame that people don't understand that "Cheats never prosper" in the end. Short term yes, but not long term.

Watson certainly has to stake his claim today to his spot in the team. With a good performance he could begin to convince the powers that be that he is one serious solution to our key defender needs. Convincing people on here will be a lot harder for him of course. Go Watto!Fair point Cookie and really, he is going up against blokes with similar maturity. Good luck to the young fella, we need it to take a trick sooner or later.

Why can't I tip my team with any confidence (to win)Coz we aint good enough yet. We we can tip them confidently every week, then we will be challenging for top 4 and a flag. Didnt mean to sound like Captain Obvious but its a fact.

x2So, is the game still on this week or are we all waiting until the team is announced?
I think we're all scared, after a couple of good wins this is typically the type of game we lose.

We are Carlton...Sniped someone in the middle of the ground off the ball, cant remember who but it was dumb (as usual) an he will go for one at least.Carrots will miss this week so that one in.
Why??
Roughead got off for a similar thing against the blues a few weeks back.
insufficient force

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Toughening up the princesses?
The tackling of late is sub standard and soft - TBH I thought we were unusually assisted by the umpires Friday nightOf late? Like you mean the last 10 years right?

The tackling by the baby blues puts the big boys to shame.Agree, also I wish the seniors played the wet against Syd like this
