Such a distinctive voice and for someone who didn't take up the guitar until his early twenties, he sure did excel in quick time.

"Fool If You Think It's Over" was probably his biggest hit, though "Tennis" and "Driving Home for Christmas" also charted strongly. But you could see his physical appearance change (deteriorate) over the years, due, mainly, to his heavy smoking.

Chris Rea passed away a couple of days ago aged just 74.

I guess he won’t be driving home for Christmas this year.

And the betting agencies only use exposed form and trending patterns. It would take some doing for us to look like premiership contenders, but using betting odds is fraught with danger.  I.e.  hawthorn in 2024 were no where but they were arguably the most dangerous looking side back end of the season.  Collingwood were polar opposite in 2025.

Now whats changed in the meantime??

Okay well let's have a look at what harpooned the betting agencies predictions for the Bluebaggers in season 2025.

1. Injuries. Everyone had injuries to deal with in season 2025... even Brisvegas. But for a fragile side like ours, they hurt more.
2. Distractions. Internal distractions. TDK, JSOS & Charles' speculation throughout the year. Distractions turned to disruptions.
3. Leadership. Let's be kind and say, leadership 'issues' ie coaching, footy department and MC.
4. Game plan. This dovetails back into leadership. Vossy, to his credit, admitted at the JNM that he let us down in season 2025. He wasn't alone.
5. Offensive skills, or the lack thereof. Our spread, carry and midfield/forward line connection was ...oh dear! And this, again, dovetails back into leadership and game plan.

Roll all that together and you have your answer as to why we didn't fulfill the betting agencies predictions.
