Eukalele

2006-09-24T06:49:00.000-07:00

Any footy team with a Eukalele solo in their song should not be allowed to win the Premiership.

Pain

2006-09-21T17:49:00.000-07:00

This is, and always will be the definition of pain for me. It still brings a tear to my eye.

Shagging

2006-09-21T12:02:00.000-07:00

One of my new housemates just told my old housemate (in front of his girlfriend) that he thought they were shagging too loudly. It ended in quite a big bust up. This house is fucking ridiculous.

What is the Internet for?

2006-09-21T05:18:00.000-07:00

You have probably all seen this before, but I think its quite funny.

Jason Akermanis

2006-09-17T16:53:00.000-07:00

Is a dickhead. I cant stand him.

Sick

2006-09-11T00:19:00.000-07:00

I felt physically sick after readin this article.

Heartbreaking

2006-09-10T12:33:00.000-07:00

I watched the Eagles Sydney game today. While I admit that it was a fucking fantastic game, it was an absolutely heartbreaking result for me. Im not ready to give up on our flag chances just yet though. Adelaide at AAMI would be a winnable match if we can make it to the Preliminary Final. having Kerr back in the team would make a huge difference as well I reckon.

Nonetheless, hate this fuckin game.

Finals

2006-09-06T04:16:00.000-07:00

I thought that this was the best avenue to advertise my plans for this weekend given that everyone reads this blog at least 3 times a day.

I realised a few weeks ago that I havent watched a single game of footy this year. Last year, I used to download them 24 hours after a game had finished, but the connection in my new house is not quite as good.

Anyway, Im going to make a genuine effort to watch all 4 finals this weekend but at the very least, I want to see the Eagles and Dockers games. As a result, I will not be checking emails, reading blogs, using internet, or checking text messages from Friday night (Perth time) to Monday morning.

Im sure that regardless of my efforts, a Ben or a Jonesy will succeed in ruining it for me.

Materazzi

2006-09-05T12:25:00.000-07:00

"Italy defender Marco Materazzi has revealed the content of the verbal exchange he had with Zinedine Zidane which led to the headbutt from the Frenchman and his sending off in July's World Cup final."

'I did not provoke him, I responded verbally to a provocation,' Materazzi told the daily Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday.

'We both spoke and I wasn't the first. I held his shirt but don't you think it is a provocation to say that 'if you want my shirt I will give it you afterwards'?

I dont think that is provocation at all you cheating, diving Italian schmuck.

The Goodies

2006-08-22T15:46:00.000-07:00

There was a program on the BBC tonight about The Goodies. None of my housemates had ever heard of them or seen them before. They vaguely recognised Bill Odie from the wildlife show he now hosts.

With the amount of crap on British TV nowadays, I reckon its fucking outrageous that the Goodies are so relatively unknown.

Hate this fuckin country.

More Than a Game

2006-08-22T10:15:00.000-07:00

Independent of my love of footy, I really like the Channel 9 Footy Show theme song.

Most Updatiest

2006-08-21T16:58:00.000-07:00

This blog...............THE most updatiest blog............EVAAAAAAA!

Emails

2006-08-21T16:53:00.000-07:00

Why do I get an email whenever I comment on my own blog? Its fucking ridiculous. I dont need to be reminded.

Hate this fuckin blog.

Roomies

2006-08-21T16:49:00.000-07:00

Two of my roommates moved out today to go travelling around New Zealand. Pretty much everything in the house was theirs, so when I went downstairs tonight to make dinner, I was completely stuffed - no cutlery, no pots, no oven trays, no pans, no plates, no glasses.

I took comfort from the fact that at the very least, I could have a beer dinner. Then I realised that I no longer had a bottle opener.

Hate this fuckin house.

Talkies

2006-08-20T20:26:00.000-07:00

What is it about people that makes them feel as though they have to blurt out their problems/issues to people they dont know and who dont care. I bought a pizza tonight at work and had to wait 5 minutes for it to cook. In that time, the girl behind the counter talked at me CONSTANTLY without me saying a single word. Even when she gave me my pizza, she kept going on and on about some horse and continued to talk even as i was walking away from her.

To make things worse, the "Hawaiian" pizza had only 4 pieces of pineapple.........not on one slice, but on the entire pizza.

I hate people.

Kevin Sheedy

2006-08-19T19:05:00.000-07:00

Im frequently amazed at how long Kevin Sheedy has managed to stay coaching Essendon. I think its incredible that he is considering recruiting Jason Akermanis next year. Essendon are sitting 2nd bottom on the ladder because they have traded away their good draft picks in recent years for old "established" players that have contributed little to the team. I reckon they have probably done it more than the Roos have.

I also think its stupid that he is going to play Dean Rioli in the last few games this year just so that he can reach 100 career games. Fair enough if it was 300 or even 200 games but so many players reach 100 games nowadays that it means very little. Dean Rioli is a fat, slow, lazy player who has only ever been rated by Essendon. Why would they care about letting him get to 100 games? Only Kevin Sheedy can answer that.

What do you reckon?

I know Richard will laugh at this but I suspect Freo might be a chance at making the Grand Final. They have shown that they are capable of beating Adelaide at AAMI stadium, and I have no doubt that they (on their day) are capable of beating West Coast at Subiaco.

I reckon this is shaping out to be a very interesting finals series.

I love footy.

Bus Drivers

2006-08-18T22:05:00.000-07:00

Ive always thought it was really stupid how bus drivers wave at every single other bus driver they pass on their various routes. In fact it pisses me off. Surely they dont know every other bus driver. You dont see doctors waving to every other doctor they walk past in the hospital.

Funny

2006-08-17T19:50:00.000-07:00

I would be outraged by this if it wasnt so funny.

http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=290188

They have less chance than the Roos.

New Beginnings

2006-08-17T19:49:00.000-07:00

Ive decided to start blogging again. But I have nothing to say right now.

Change

2006-04-13T00:50:00.000-07:00

In keeping with a change in my outlook I've changed my blog. Please find me at Captain Delight.

Richard

2005-10-25T07:18:00.000-07:00

Having spent a fair bit of time with Richard in the last couple of months I've realised how much I'm going to miss him when he goes home. Hopefully he comes back next year. I don't think I could last that long in England if he wasn't here.

Outraged

2005-10-22T09:19:00.000-07:00

I finally have another topic worthy of my outrage. I told one of the other doctors that I really like one of the nurses on our ward and he went and told her. Work has been very awkward ever since. He claimed that he was just trying to help me out but it backfired. What a bastard. He's as unacceptable as Terry.

If.......and ONLY if.......

2005-09-04T05:20:00.000-07:00

........if the Eagles dont win the flag this year, then by far and away my second choice would be St. Kilda. They (along with Carlton) have always been my favourite Victorian side, and I reckon it would be a hugely fitting end to the career of one of the all-time greats in Robert Harvey.

Nevertheless, on that one day in September, the Saints will be crushed by West Coast.

By the way, has anyone seen Fraser Gehrig's hair recently? Bald on top and long at the back in what is more accurately described as boglocks than a mullet. I couldnt stop laughing every time I saw him with the ball.

Solomon Islands

2005-09-04T03:16:00.000-07:00

Is this really the national flag for the Solomon Islands, or could Soccernet just not be bothered finding out what it actually looked like?

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=177390&cc=3436

Either way, its fucking ridiculous. Im outraged.
