Rumour has it that the Adelaide Football Club is about to strike a Memorial Plaque in honour of the significant gift they're soon to receive from the Carlton Football Club - the number 1 draft pick in the 2019 draft.
As if giving them Eddie wasn't enough. Does our generosity know no bounds?
Agree SB, sometimes I think to myself he is a better midfielder than a Ruckman when I see his second and third efforts (if that makes sense).
Makes perfect sense, he is a great footballer who has been cruelled by injury, fingers crossed we can get him on the park to help support this up and coming midfield we are assembling.
I was in Delhi for game 5 (now in Chennai). Couldn't get tickets unfortunately but watched the game in a bar with a lot of very unhappy Indians. The papers here the next day had big reports about lots of fighting among fans leaving the ground, almost sounded like a riot. Betting that wasn't reported in Australia?
Nope but not surprising given how passionate they are about their cricket. To win a 5 game series in India from 2 games down is a huge achievement and even more so given where the team has come from in the last 12 months.
Wasn't it the Olympic? It was, without doubt, the sh1ttest, most violent, low brow drinking establishment in Australia. Utter dump.
Almost certain if you parked there you would be offered a cheap car stereo, which would have been nicked within five minutes of leaving the vehicle.
The flats next door are on par with the Bronx, the sleazier parts of Jo'burg or some gang infested South American slum city. The cops don't even go there.
No, it was the Colosseum and it burnt down thankfully. Wandered into the public bar one night to meet workmates for drinks after work and knew right away I was not in a nice place, turns out they were all in the restaurant bar at the front but forgot to tell the new guy, I didn't make that mistake again.
Sorry, but hindsight analysis is utter crap.... And I don't rate his current predictions let alone him trawling through the past.
Weiters, Curnow and Harry were a great result from that draft. SOJ and Cunners are yet to make an impact although I do hold hope for both, SOJ has the smarts but needs to find a spot, Cunners needs a clear run to show what he's got. Can't complain about this draft result unlike countless others.
Starc getting 5 & Khawaja getting a ton in this barely first class match is the worst thing that could have happened leading up the the Ashes.....they will now be a lock in for all 5 tests...
Hard not to lock Starc in however agree on Khawaja as this series came at the perfect time for him. No guarantees he wont let us down in England.
Marnus to three, Puchovski to six, Stoinis seven, plus a replacement for Starc. Tremain?
Tough on Patterson after one test but we've got to have an eye to the Ashes etc and have multiple blokes eligible for county cricket.
Pretty clear that the selectors have ruled a line through older blokes like Maxwell, Finch, the Marshes .... Maybe Khawaja too. We're looking at generational change here.
Patterson will play next test and probably Starc too as he has credits in the bank. Richardson gives us a ready to go option for the Ashes which is great for the team, a couple of young bats that can handle the swinging ball would be great.
Didn't stop them flogging us at home. We're no great shakes either EB, I'm taking what we get.
Khawaja and Start out this test, which is basically a practice match for all intents and purposes.
Would like to see us blooding Picovski in the next test, Khawaja has been tried and come up short on multiple occasions. If Smith and Warner come back into this team they add instant experience and stability around which the younger players can flourish.
