Mainwaring dies

Sad news this morning with Chris Mainwaring passing away. A East Freo boy originally, who became a champion with the West Coast Eagles.
Sad that he leaves behind two children.

News reports being very respectful and not reporting the whole story of his passing. Police were called to his residence with a noise complaint, and 94.5 are reporting it was a drug overdose.
Very sad news, RIP Chris Mainwaring.

lucky punter

Here is an investment that worked out…

“A 30-SECOND phone call left Darwin Sportsbet the only losing betting outlet after Geelong’s record-breaking Grand Final win.
A regular client rang three hours before the bounce of the ball and bet a staggering $340,000 at $3.50 on the Cats to win by 40 points or more. He won $850,000.
“It’s by far the biggest bet we’ve ever taken,” Darwin Sportsbet’s Phil Hannah said. “We were out of our misery pretty early. It was a horror result.” “

Herald Sun Story

Power turned off

How many headlines can you make up after that game?
Power shock, power fade, power cut…
as good as Geelong was, was as dissapointing as Port were.

I suppose Port were not expected to do anything this year, and they finished up making the GF…so we should not be too harsh….but they were disapointing.

Geelong on the other hand were incredibly skillful, watching Ablett, Bartel, Scarlet, Chapman and Johnston weave through traffic, kick and handball accurately under pressure to their team mates…a joy to watch.

And on a side point, what utter class they showed in receiving their medals. Looked the kids in the eye, gave them a second of invaluable time, shook their hands, gave them a cap……obviously after the disgraceful display exhibited last year, Geelong made sure they did the right thing.

We have the best coffee of any church in Perth

Or at least, I reckon we would go pretty close.

I have never had a lot of faith in automatic coffee machines…but this one is a beauty. It cleans itself, makes a beautiful ‘crema’ and does not burn the beans.

Picked it up fairly inexpensively, and we use Five Senses Beans.

Back for more in 2008

This quote caught my eye from the Herald Sun,
“Daffy is tipping the Fremantle Dockers to be the big improvers.
“We’ve got the Dockers third favourites at $9 and I can see them being a big factor next year,” he said.
“The punters really came for them early this season and they let them down, but with Harvey in charge they might live up to their potential next year.”
Daffy thinks next season will bring tough times for supporters of West Coast, Sydney and the Kangaroos. “

Now you have heard this all before, (Markedly history) but that is what footy is all about……

Funny too how wrong I and the bookies were about the Cats! Mind you, everyone was right about the Saints……..

In other news, the Saints have been installed at $11, and the Kangaroos tipped to slide big time down to $26. I cant believe what the bookies think about the Roos…what more do they have to do to be considered a threat?
