I'd also add a `Kern Pls' agony aunt column on the website during the offseason.

Do we have a "top 25 bachelor" amongst our ranks?

Page 92 of Sunday Mail seems to think w do.

Also, in same article, Antimo Iannella thinks State Opposition Leader, Stephen Marshall, is a Redlegs supporter, which Im fairly sure is incorrect, given previous previous articles pointing out he's a PAFC supporter.

Edit- the same galah of a "journo", thinks "Tex is the man all guys want to be....A hero to all" ... :thumbsdown:

He can be both.
 
He can be, and that is where the doubt is, but Im fairly sure previous articles had stated he followed Port in both comps.
 
For no particular reason, I thought I'd compare each of our players from last night, with a past player at the PAFC (AFL / SANFL):

Wingard - Brian Cunningham
Schulz - Darren Smith
Westhoff - David Hynes
Wines - Josh Carr
Gray - Rohan Smith
Carlile - Danny Hughes
Trengove - Martin Leslie
O'Shea -Brett Montgomery
Broadbent - Bruce Abernethy
Colquhoun - Simon Tregenza
Jonas - Paul Northeast
Cassisi - Mark Williams
Hartlett -Shaun Burgoyne
Moore - Paul Rizonico
Ebert - Andrew Obst
Logan - Stephen Curtis
Cornes - Greg Anderson
Lobbe - Dean Brogan
Monfries - Darrell Cahill
Young - Roger James
Pittard - Brent Guerra
Boak - Tim Ginever

Downer on what sort of PM he thinks Abbott will be. With about 53% of the vote, should be what most Australians would prefer.

Alexander Downer: As Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott will be true conservative in every sense

My guess is there will be some surprises in the new ministry. But as prime minister, Tony Abbott will be a conventional conservative. He will be cautious and pragmatic not zealous and reckless.

This will manifest itself in a number of ways. For a start, Abbott will work very closely with the public service. He will listen to their advice, he will check things with them and new proposals will be considered and costed before announcements are made. So government will work more slowly and cautiously than the breathtaking initiative a day style of the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd government. Abbott will be in a phrase an administrative conservative. He'll even start meetings on time so if you go to see him, don't be late!

Secondly, Tony Abbott is no economic radical. He will be an economic pragmatist unlike John Howard and his key Cabinet allies who could be described as economic liberals or rationalists. Abbott will gradually reduce the deficit and pay down debt but there will be no radical spending cuts - as Kevin Rudd claimed during the election campaign. Nor for that matter will there be radical reform of the industrial relations system. Work Choices won't be brought back. You may not know this, but the two members of the Howard Cabinet who were the least enthusiastic about Work Choices were Abbott and Kevin Andrews.
(further down)
And finally Tony Abbott will be a low profile PM. All that Twitter, Facebook, daily press conference stuff will go. Ministers will do most of the talking. The prime minister will think, read and plan.

So basically he is Pope Benedict, not Pope Francis.
 
Regardless, he's more to the left than most Liberals & probably won't be as bad as some people think.


Mind if I bookmark this? ;)

As I've always maintained: at least it'll be funny.

We had tickets to his shindig at the Four Seasons on Saturday night but I stayed home to watch the footy.

I wish I had been there to smack that idiot with the clipboard across the head in a style of bitch slap unprecedented in Australian Political history.

At least give him a chance to do his thing, he has a 3 year contract, then it's either renewed or delisted, trading is not an option.

Yeah I was talking about the stage invader not Mr Abbott...
 
How come no one has a pear as their avatar yet?

I know I have a nice pair in my avatar but I was thinking of the fruity type.
