yep, just read it. des now seems determined to make himself a valuable player for the team. he has changed his attitude and work ethic towards this end. hopefully he'll have a fantastic year, good luck des!
definately liked the article, nice and positive with our season starting shortly. (but it still seems like ages!)
speaking of the paper...do you think AFL will get 5 pages of stuff 2 weeks before the season start?????? NRL did.......I doubt whether we will I mean they keep shifting our section furthur and futhur back...
i think we'd be lucky to get 3, the paper does tend to focus on that other code (can't stand it). that's the problem with living in a "rugby league" state, but you wouldn't be so sure of it if you based that judgement on the numbers who actually turn up at ANZ http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/smile.gif. but imo the coverage in the paper has gotten better...
I don't normally miss understand web slan, but what is imo?
Joshem - don't complain about that!!!
3 years ago it was unheard of to have an AFL/Aussie Rules story in the papers at all over the off season.
2years ago we got maybe one or 2 articles a week.
Now we get a full PAGE in EVERY Sunday paper and also articles in the weekday paper 98% of the time.
Who cares if the pages are being pushed back! At least they are still there.
Did you know that prior to season 99 the Lions (or any other AFL team including the Bears) NEVER got front page of the Monday Sport Supliment??
In the last 2 years the Lions have made the front page of the whole paper more than 5 times!!! It is a miracle my son!! I have each of them cut out and pinned on my wall at work. I am grateful now that we at least get coverage!
