Rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated. Family commitments, work and weekends away don't leave much time for blogging. How I envy all those bloggers who seem to have so much time on their hands.
Last weekend away with several families from the kids' school. This coming weekend we're in Bleak City, visiting relatives and friends, and getting some footy in at the (sic) 'Home of Football.' For purely selfish reasons, and despite my previous rant, I wasn't totally unhappy at the prospect of seeing the Swans play there. However, the AFL has seen sense in letting them play in Sydney. Saved them a lot of bad press and will earn them a lot more money playing in front of 65000 rather than 30000.
The AFL have a lot of faith in the Victorian teams playing away this weekend, as they are relying on them to loose. This will allow two matches in Melbourne the following week to repay the debt they owe the MCC. Will be interesting to see what happens if one of the away teams wins.
Regarding lesser issues than the AFL finals, I believe an election's been called. Grist for the mill.
I'll get some other posts in when I can.
