Ross Lyon, I'm so confused.....

Ross Lyon, when you coached the Saints, your mantra was "avoid going forward at all costs - whenever possible kick backwards, handpass backwards and most importantly, make sure all 18 players are in the back half of the field"!!!!!!!!  Now are are at Freo, surprise, surprise, they played real Aussie Rules.  They went forward and kicked goals.  Have you changed you style of coaching, or did they simply ignore your instructions?

I'm confused......

I'm so confused.  A family from the Philippines, who went through the proper channels to come to Australia, are now facing deportation because one of their sons is autistic.  The father is a doctor who has worked for the same clinic since he arrived, so has been contributing his time, taxes and expertise to this country.  However, the Immigration Dept. says that they cannot stay because of "public health risks". Yeah, like autism is highly contagious!!!! They also add that there will be "no public spending on health care, where those services are in short supply"  This man is a doctor, for Pete's sake, so is aiding, not using this "short supply".
Now, where this family went wrong, was that they did not enter this country illegally.  If they had they would be entitled to free medical care, free law services, free housing, free schooling plus welfare payments.  Am I the only person who is confused and getting more and more disillusioned with our whole system?

Pleeeeease, get a life!

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate the Crows.  Now they have given me even more reasons to dislike them and their fans.  Seems that Bernie Vince was banned from playing in his hometown's cricket grand final.  OK, fair enough, there are NAB cup matches being played and he should be with his team.  However, he is now in trouble because he chose to celebrate with the cricket team after they won their final.  Seems he was drinking (oh no) wearing only his shorts (shock, horror) and was seen by two card carrying Crows club members, who have since threatened to hand back their memberships because they have been so shocked and traumatised!  Oh, please, GET A LIFE!!!! It is not the end of the world.  Just another couple of petty minded Crows supporters doing what Crows supporters do best - moan and complain.  I was also disappointed in West Coast for their reaction to Nic-Nat and his slam dunk.  C'mon, since when has  basketball been an extreme sport?  He is more likely to get injured at footy training than shooting hoops.  Get off his back and let the guy enjoy his life.
