Blink
Gee what happened? I've been busy but I truly intended on posting top 5 each of the past two games. Never happened. Now Round 21 is looming large, against the Saints and without Daniel Kerr. Footy is never short of a bit of drama is it?

Flying High with the West Coast Eagles
Judd indicates he’ll re-sign for two more seasons
Breaking news from The West:
In a development that is a massive boost ahead of next Sunday's Western Derby, Chris Judd looks likely to sign a two-year contract extension, believed to be in the vicinity of $2 million, ensuring that he stays with the West Coast Eagles until the end of ...
Will he wear it?
If you remember the "controversy" about the Eagle's choice of heritage jumper, the question is now - will Victorian born Chris Judd even get to wear it?
He's listed as "test" with his groin. My money is he misses another week and Ben Allan's blood pressure drops (although only marginally).

West Coast Eagles News Update
With the split round upon the usual steady flow of news, is well, less steady this week.
The squabbling over the details of Ben Cousins' "return to playing" contract has commenced with the AFLPA seemingly jumping the gun by red flagging some of the alleged content. How Brendon Gale would ...

Mark Stevens needs to watch more footy
The Herald Sun's Mark Stevens has let the cat out of the bag. He hasn't really been paying attention to the AFL in the last couple of years. Why do I say that?
When you lead off your column with this statement below, you really need to make sure it's watertight:

Good News and Bad News
The Good news is Judd has been cleared by the tribunal and is free to play this weekend against the Roos. Good decision by the tribunal after all evidence pointed to him not getting his fingers in Campbell Brown's eye.
The Bad news is I lost a bet with Phillip ...
Kerr out for two
Daniel Kerr has accepted a two match ban for (and I quote) "bumping or making forceful contact from front-on" to Melbourne's Cameron Bruce. Charging / striking / tripping were all so much simpler...
It rules him out of Brownlow contention and rubs him out of this week's game vs. Hawthorn and ...

Three Eagles Axed
Already out the door of the West Coast Eagles are three players from the 2008 list - Steven Armstrong, Chad Jones, and James Thomson.
No surprise for Jones - when Notte was selected in front of him twice the writing was on the wall.
Thomson is a chance to be relisted as ...
My All Australian Team
The All Australian selectors have released their shortlist of 40 players vying for the 2008 All Australian team. In view of the fact our side is now on holidays I thought I'd put together my AA team from the shortlist. This is my preferred team, not necessarily who I think ...
End of the Road
That's it then.
It's been a while since I posted here. A combination of a holiday, sickness and apathy caused by some insipid and uninspiring games. What can you say but I'm glad its over. Not sure if I've ever felt that way about a season before, at least not ...

St Kilda 4.5 6.6 9.9 12.14 (86)
I enjoyed this game more than any all year. It was a ripper.
