“Sometimes when people ask, I just say maybe we’re more desperate than others”

yes yes and amen

Getting excited as I look at my diary and realise I am off to Sydney next week.
Every Christian needs time to place themselves in situations where God can speak to them. Maybe Christian leaders who give out, need it more.
Either way my annual pilgrimage has always been a blessing. Hearing such good international speakers for a very inexpensive fee is a great investment for me. There is nothing like hearing speakers live. Watching them on dvd is okay, but you dont get the same sense, there is something intangible, dare I say spiritual that occurs.

Side note: cant wait to see the Mighty Dockers play Sydney at SCG, in a must win game, and also grab some pizza from my and Q’s favourite pizza store. Aaah yes, Krispy Kreme doughnuts and some of the best coffee I have had from the Italian cafe just down the road from Krispy’s…..
Its not all about food, but I figure you might as well enjoy what you eat!

This morning on ABC sports radio Glen Mitchell was criticising Geoff Hutchinson for his obvious delight in the Weages loss to the Saints. Glen was saying Geoff should support the WA sides….
Geoff’s response was good.
Footy is not about supporting a state side, its about tribalism.
On Glenns logic, all Eagles supporters should boo Judd. He does not come from WA.
And, they should have been cheering Buddy Franklin when Hawthorn beat the Eagles. Buddy comes from WA.

Footy is not about state rivalvries, its about tribalism. This tribalism is not meant to be taken too seriously, its a fun distraction from whatever else we have going on in our lives, which is a lot more important.
Ask a Carlton supporter if they would cheer Collingwood on in the GF, I dont think so.
West Coast have some issues. Here is a stat for you. They have lost 4 of their past six games. Next week they play the Crows in Adelaide. They will probably have lost 5 of their past seven next weekend, and will very likely slip out of the top four.

Here’s hoping they lose the next 11, and slip out of the top eight.

But if you are a Dockers supporter with a little bit of pent up frustration, it might help for a couple of moments..
