Noticed the other was getting close to the limit, so here is a continuation of the most successful Backyard thread ever, started by yours truly.

Tomic through to the 3rd round of Wimbledon, anyone else getting slightly excited by this kid?

Nope, not in the slightest.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I don't get excited over Germans
I much prefer Australian born Laura Robson.
Was cheering her on when she lost to Ukrainian born Maria Sharapova.

Should of been Aus vs Ukr not UK vs Rus

Germans?

 

[NTRabbit]

I can think of a German or two I get excited about

 

[BACCS]

Nope, not in the slightest.

Howcome? Even Novak is talking him up.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Germans?

Bernard Tomic: born Oct 21 in Stuttgart Germany of Bosnian and Croatian descent.

He's German

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Came to Oz when he was 3 1/2 years old - reckon he learned to play here..

 

[Brenton Davy]

If he plays any further behind the base line, he will be in the 2nd row of the Royal Box.......

Ray cyst

it's not racist to call a German a German, any more than it's to call an Australian and Australian.

His not Australian because he was born in Germany. He is a German

Quoted for truth.

I was born overseas, but have lived in Oz for more than 55 years. Naturalised over 35 years ago. Travel on Aus passport. I am totally Australian.

We were happy to claim Kim Clijsters as "Aussie Kim" just because she knew some Oz bloke...

That oz bloke spilt in two our leadership group...............


I admired GC today, the type of footy they played...I thought a few errors from there senior players cost them the game, everytime they seemed to get momentum the mistakes came and footscray were able to keep a buffer.

I also felt for Bock, he does good nullifying the FF but he's much better up the ground at CHB, much better. Can understand him getting out of this town, afterall he wasnt the agressor, only the retaliator and he got hung out to dry nationaly and in some cases very unethicaly. I'd want out of this fishbowl too.

We really are the nanny state.

Cause Tennis is boring, and apart from Rafter, most Aussie male tennis players in the past decade have been spoilt brats.

I like the way they play, but I agree some of their senior recruits have been terrible at times this year. Harbrow in particular turns it over too much under pressure.

I remember being very surprised that they named Bock as a full back this year as he is definitely more damaging as a CHB. I think if they progress enough next year he will get pushed up the ground a little more. But watching him play does make me miss him in Davis' absence.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

How disgraceful is Mark Bosnich laugh. That’s terrible.

Watching the pre game on fox and his laugh is terrible but still a likeable lad.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Where on earth did you get that from?

Wait, sorry. Mum got knocked up in Ukraine (Chernobyl to be precice) but escaped to Siberia Russia to actually get born.
