    Haiti: getting the priorities right...

    Kim Jong-Il merely a body double?

    According to some Japanese professor he's been played by body doubles for the last five years after he died of diabetes: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/09/08/2358528.htm

    Do Bogans suffer a mental disorder

    Downer having another sook

    Apparently Kevin Rudd talking in Mandarin when being interviewed for Chinese TV is showing off.... http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,22711218-5005962,00.html If you're talking to a potential audience that don't all speak your language, but you're fluent in theirs, surely it...

    Federal Polling

    Apparently tomorrow's Newspoll in the Australian is indicating that the Rudd honeymoon is not over: on two party preferred, Labor is ahead 56-44 - an 8.8% swing from the last Federal election. If (and we all know it wouldn't) that was consistent across the nation, it would see 34 seats change...

    ID Card back on the agenda

    Apparently, the Federal Government has a new way to appease fears that a national ID card would be misused Libs to launch people's ID card AUSTRALIANS will be given a world-first right to "own" a proposed national ID card, in a bid to hose down claims it will lead to Big Brother surveillance...

    PETA at it again

    I hate KFC, but this is taking the ********, surely: http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200601/s1547575.htm Don't you just love it when people take what could be a worthwhile cause and turn it into something close to religious zealotry? As for Pamela Anderson, she's a fruit loop anyway...

    Congratulation Lions supporters

    I wish a few of our posters would take lessons from you lot - you've been the most fair and balanced (and not in the Fox News way) of all the opposition supporters we've had this year. Thanks. Always said the Brisbane supporters were the best as a group on Bigfooty (LIONS then DAYLIGHT...

    Happy Christmas and all that....

    Believers and non believers all, I hope you have a happy peaceful and safe Christmas. I'm off overseas early tomorrow morning, so I'll catch up with you lot when I get back. I hope to find you all ready to argue and fight the good fight - whatever it might be.

    The SC&P rollcall

    Well, on the back of Croc's Rabid-right post, I reckon its time we put all the regulars in a pidgeon hole: Rabid Right: Distinguishing features: - Love of John Howard - Dislike of the UN - Ranting about union corruption - Liberal use of the term "manboobs" - Desire to pollute the world...

    A different trade and draft system

    I brought this up early in the year, but it seems more appropriate now as we head toward draft week. Basically its an idea I had to make the draft period fairer and stop clubs that finish last holding other clubs over a barrell during the trade period. My idea is that the pre-season draft is...

    Round 1 Preview: West Coast v Bulldogs

    http://www.eaglesflyinghigh.com/news/news.php?newsid=139 The footy's back at last! First up the Eagles are on the road travelling to face last year's wooden spooners, the Western Bulldogs at Docklands. The Bulldogs somehow managed to pull off a draw at Subiaco last year; indeed they should...

    EaglesFlyingHigh Footy Tipping competition

    Folks, I'm putting a footy tipping competition on the EaglesFlyingHigh website for this season, its there and running for anyone who wants to enter. I'm going to put up a prize for the competition which will probably be a voucher for the team shop unless I get a better idea (if someone from...

    Terrorist bombings in Madrid

    Seeing as there isn't a thread on here yet, I thought its about time. According to what I've heard there are about 200 dead and 1400 injured in a number of blasts on the Madrid rail network. The last report indicates that the Spanish authorities believe it is the work of the Basque...

    Revamping the trade/draft process

    Rather than start up another thread slagging something off, I thought I'd get some feedback on an idea I had to stop the pre-season draft being manipulated by players and clubs to the detriment of other clubs (such as the Nick Stevens debacle or what Freo did when they had the first pick) My...

    What constitutes terrorism?

    Discuss: We all like to think we know what constitutes terrorism and what doesn't, and we'd all probably agree that Al Qaeda are a bunch of terrorists while a UN peacekeeping force would not be. However where is the line drawn. Our young Jewish friend ^Eagle^ was given a hypothetical in...

    New Stats section on the website

    I've been having a bit of a play with the website this weekend (anyone want to volunteer articles for next year yet?) Anyway I've added a section that you can search our win-loss and records against different teams and at different venues. If anyone wants to take a look and give me some...

    Another List Review

    Well here's my entirely subjective take on the performances of all the players on the Eagles senior list in 2003. I'm not of course rating the players on their potential, just what they provided to the club in 2003 - all in my opinion of course. At the end of each player's review is what I...

    Elimination Final Preview: Adelaide v West Coast

    http://eagles.newman-knights.com/news.php?newsid=103 The Eagles have fallen into the finals after last weeks loss in the Derby in seventh spot, thus having to travel for an elimination final. Interestingly our opponents are the only team to have beaten us twice in season 2003 - the Crows...

    Round 22 Preview: Western Derby 18

    http://eagles.newman-knights.com/news.php?newsid=100 Western Derby. The two biggest words in WA footy, and Western Derby 18 is the biggest game the two WA teams have ever squared off in. Both teams are secure in the eight and will be back next week at one venue or another playing finals...

    Round 21 Preview: West Coast v Melbourne

    http://eagles.newman-knights.com/news.php?newsid=96 Last week's draw pretty much seals September action for the Eagles (with Hawthorn having two games and 20% to make up over two rounds it would take something very unlikely for the Eagles to miss out now). In fact the top eight is pretty...

    Round 20 preview: Geelong v West Coast

    http://eagles.newman-knights.com/news.php?newsid=93 The Eagles' season hangs on the sharpest of knife edges after last weeks results saw the Eagles slump to seventh on the ladder. Fortunately the Eagles are still two games (and much percentage) clear of the ninth placed Kangaroos, so the...

    Bigfooty Eagles Hall of Fame

    I thought for my 2000th post I'd put up something relevant to footy :), and take on BT's suggestion of a BigFooty West Coast Hall of Fame. Initially I think we'll induct five players, and only players who have been retired for two full seasons are eligible. Everyone can vote 5,4,3,2,1 and...

    Round 19 preview: Eagles v Crows

    http://eagles.newman-knights.com/news.php?newsid=89 The Eagles looked like a rabble last week for the second time in three weeks last weekend against St Kilda, conceding the first goalless quarter of the season, and losing by ten goals for the second time for 2003. The Eagles are looking...

    Round 18 Preview: St Kilda v Eagles

    http://eagles.newman-knights.com/news.php?newsid=84 The Eagles were a much improved outfit in the Round 17 shutdown of Hawthorn at Subiaco, but the game came at a cost with Andrew Embley and Josh Wooden added to the list of unavailable players. While Wooden is replaceable, Embley's form over...

    Round 17 preview: Eagles v Hawthorn

    http://eagles.boogyman.net.au/news.php?newsid=81 For the first time this year the Eagles are coming into a game on the rebound from a thumping. Questions could be asked as to why the Eagles played so badly last week, whether Port were just hard or dirty, dirty scum, and whether the Eagles...

    Round 16 Preview: Port v West Coast

    http://eagles.newman-knights.com/news.php?newsid=76 Last week might have been a slaughter of mammoth proportions, but this week we're off to face Port at Football Park, a ground that has traditionally not suited us, with only three wins ever at the Adelaide ground - two over the Crows and one...

    Wrong signals

    Did anyone else notice that Denis Pagan was wearing a blue and gold tie at the footy on Saturday? Maybe it was just another sign that Carlton had given up before the game started.
