Handballs
The Eagles had almost double the amount of handballs to kicks today in their loss to Melbourne. They don’t have the skilled players they had in 2006 to perform that style of play. Natanui had no kicks today, and only three last week (admittedly 3 pretty good and important ones) Its a dumb style of play, and I reckon indicative of a pretty uncreative coach. As an aside, how on earth…or why on earth the Eagles play Chad Fletcher is beyond me. I thought they were meant to be playing young players? Not guys who wont be playing next year, and cant hit the side of a barn with either handball or kick!

Peter Bell and Farmer
Watching Bell and Farmer play for Souths, they could both still be playing for Freo…but maybe its better they are gone, to give space to our young exciting players.

Dean Solomon
A great muscle player, pity he cant get home on time, but it does seem a bit childish that a 29 year old cant be out till late on his day off with his old mate. Rumour is that he was also out with Brett Peake last week, but no one was admitting to it.

St Kilda
I hope they win it this year, the probably have the most sentimental reason to win, but if they do and Geelong lose, Geelong will have underperformed, and with a lot of older players, will need to get some more youngsters in to stay competitive in years to come.

Voss
Michael Voss is proving to be as good a coach as he was a player, Lions could be the suprise premiership contender.

As we kick off our new series based around the life of David, I have made up this video about some aspects of his life….the Warrior who cried out.
The song in the background is an orginal composition by Eliot Vlatko, one of the pastors at Inglewood Church.

What would I do if I won 50 Million Dollars?
The first question I suppose is how did I win it, considering I don’t buy Lotto tickets, but I would be lying if I did not admit I was tempted…but when I found out they cost $13-$20 for a basic game….that sort of convinced me it was not a good idea… 🙂

In no particular order…
1. Obtain houses for a couple of people who need them, and pay off their debts
2. Pay off our own mortgage
3. Buy a decent block of land for our church to build on
4. Build the purpose built theatre we have a vision for.
5. Give 10% to Compassion
6. Buy the most expensive coffee machine you can get, and a house with a room in it just for coffee making
7. Buy a Mazda Rx3, have someone else modify it for me.
8. Buy the fastest Porsche Ceyenne money can buy
9. Buy a holiday house in regional Albany
10. Buy my son a Wii, my wife a overlocker and my daughter a new bike… 🙂
11. Buy a Pizza Oven

Part of my history.
This extraordinary artist still has something to say to us today.

The Eagles have put out some pretty amazing spin over the years…but this takes the cake.

According to Channel Eagle, Basil reports a senior official in the Eagles camp strongly suggested that the reason they signed up Worsfold quickly was so that Freo would not get him when they sack Harvey in a years time.

What a joke. The Eagles believe it would be a marketing coup. Marketing coup? More like a marketing disaster.

Worsfold came into a side that had a star midfield, and still, in many commentators eyes, underperformed.
Now, when the pressure is on, the team has not won a away game for the last 17 games. Over the past two years they have a 20% winning record.
Woosha presided over the worst period of the clubs history as their PR Spin department lost the battle with numerous gaping holes in their culture being exposed, as the rats jumped off the sinking ship. It got so bad that players such as Selwood put a clause in contracts to say if there was any more serioius misdemenours, he could leave!

Since Judd, Cousins and Gardiner have left Wooshas coaching, they have all become far better players. Judd is amazing, Cousins is in career best form, and Gardiner has recaptured and surpassed his AA form, being the unbeaten St Kilda’s premier ruckman.

Freo don’t want Woosha, its just a weak excuse to resign someone who should be under a lot more pressure than he is.

Who is Jesus

This song is an original song written By Pastor Vlatko from Inglewood Church, and performed by the Angus Buchan Mighty Mens Conference 2009 Band.
Sound is not great, apologies, audio was overdriven at sound input…But Live it was phenomonal…especially when 2500 blokes stood up and sang it out.
Blokes do sing…just give them the right song, in the right place…we lifted the roof on that tent!
