Sumich

Amazing isn’t it….none of the Vic clubs did any more than be polite to Sumich as they showed him the door…….

All the experts on 6pr and the hundreds of indignant Weagle fans couldn’t be wrong….could they???

Surely Freo should have seen what all the rest of the footy world couldn’t???? Mmmmmmm

Chasers war on Apec…what a joke!

This incredibly funny, cring inducing, water cooler conversation generating show is now in trouble for getting within a bombs throw of George W Bush at the Apec Summit….
Apparently they got past $170 million dollars worth of security….
The only people that should be getting arrested is whoever was in charge of security….its funny, but it no joke!
Here are the two passes the Chaser boys used…easy to see how they could be mistaken for the real thing….NOT!!!

Story

A source inside the show has told The Daily Telegraph the team never expected to get so far. The skit had been approved by ABC lawyers but was written in the assumption they would be stopped at the first checkpoint. Instead they were waved through the first on Macquarie St, then a second, which had sniffer dogs, and eventually stopped themselves at Bridge St. “As they did Chas got out of a car dressed as Osama bin Laden and said something like ‘I’m an important world leader why don’t I have a seat at the APEC table?’. Apparently that was the first time the police realised it was not authentic and they swooped in and arrested everybody,” the source said. The ABC statement said the Chaser team members were wearing mock “insecurity” passes, which expressly stated they were a joke.
But the head of the APEC investigation squad, NSW Police Force Detective Superintendent Ken McKay was not amused.

Water from the rock

Heres something interesting….
did the rock that the Israelites got water from while travelling in the desert travel with them?
Jewish tradition says yes, and this verse might suggest it did as well…..

1 Cor 10: 1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. 2They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3They all ate the same spiritual food 4and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. 5Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert.

I was wrooong

Recently I posted about how Demetriou was evading responsibility over the whole Channel Seven drug scandal….I stand by the basic sentiment that Demetriou appears to deflect responsibility off himself….

But….I was wrong about this particular incident.

After watching Peter Meekin (Director of News and Current Affairs, Seven Network) try to defend the indefesible on Media Watch last night, its pretty obvious that Channel Seven were grossly irresponsible in running the story and were the primary instigator of it all and need to take responsibility for it. Revealing stolen medical documents was pretty dishonourable, and
something that they appear to have done all by themselves.

What do Stenglein, Embley and Braun all have in common?

They all averaged less disposals per game than Paul Hasleby in 2007.
Does the editor of the West Australian Sports department hang around pubs looking for Eagle scarf wearing drunks and ask them to write articles for his paper?

Seriously, why would the Dockers want to trade their leading player in the clearances, getting the hard ball out, going forward and kicking needed goals? There was a number of games that Paul dominated, including one in which he had 37 disposals, most of them quality.

He does, however, need to stay clear of the Seaview mid-week.
