I was going to write more often in this blog and have decided to follow the trend and see if I can contribite more frequently. Laziness is not a virtue so really have no excuse to fall back on. Yes there is so much happening and yet we sit back and do nothing. We need to become involved and not lay back on the couch and do zilch. Action speaks louder than words.Well footy is back and that should a good source of blogs yet I know it isn't everybody's cup of tea.
The AFL season commenced last weekend and already Geelong has shown that they are going to be the powerhouse in 2009. Yet they do have flaws and if a team is able to put pressure on them, they seem to take a while to hit their stride. If the Cats are allowed to dominate early, the opposition finds it so hard claw back.
There were no real surprises in Round 1 and will Richmond recover from the hype and buildup prior to their match against Carlton. The Tigers were so woeful and Cousins did his hammy again and will be out for some months. I don't think they will recover either from the mauling from Geelong on Saturday night. Collingwood were disappointing for me and I don''t expect that Malthouse will last beyond this year and his contract runs out then. Doubtful if it is renewed.
Carlton certainly looks impressive and much improved. Melbourne will languish at the bottom of the ladder but Freo will get the wooden spoon IMHO.
The idea of a Gold Coast team in the AFL is ludicrous as Tasmania has more chances of doing better if they got a license. Yet the current economic climate isn't good at present for them either and the only possibility is for Tassie to continue sponsoring Hawthorn. It paid off in 2008! The idea of a separate team is a pipedream of Labor to get votes in 2010.
