Put your masks on...Its Swine Flu time!

AFL....& Richmond have won a game??...Thats right, its not just a viral delusion. It actually happened!

We tried to grab Benny for an interview after the game, but he politely declined:

Apparently Cousins was just pointing out a smudge on the camera lens....Hrrm Well at least Terry liked his 500th game.

The great Football experiment continues : Can Carlton and Sydney win away from home? Suggestions have been flooding in for a while now. Some say maybe if we put a backdrop of the Sydney Harbour Bridge or the Opera House behind the goals, the Swans will feel more at home and click back into gear....& If we play some pre recorded crowd noise over the loud speaker in Brisbane next week, Carlton might think the crowd are on their side and lift up again.

The Lions are the real deal now, no matter where they go. And the Crows are not far behind, just starting to emerge.....Should we be aware of the fury?

Steve Johnson is back in Norm SmMith medal form, and dare I say, get that Coleman medal. 6 goals and a whole lot more...

And last but not least we would like to commend the AFL for extending their vilification rules to include sexual orientation. You're making us love you even more.

Tennis...The French Open is well underway, and lil Lleyton made it to Nadal, woo hoo!

I heart Lleyton, deal with it :-p....

He's still our number 1 man. Nadal has made a bold fashion statement this open wearing a fluoro pink shirt. Are you just trying to keep up with Serena , or are you crossing to our side of the fence? Im sure Boh and Brendon would be happy for you to join their team. All reports say next week he may be sporting a diamond studed purse to match his new outfit, which could be fabulous.

Poor Jelena is out with a back injury, but she was in great form before beeing forced to retire. More love goes out to Dokic..Geez we give our love away too easily lol. Groth and Stosur are left to fly the flag.



NRL...State of Origin is on this Wednesday again. Are you a Cockroach or a Canetoad?...Sounds tempting with such appealing names, but thankfully Im neither. So I can just enjoy the game. Go the Storm!...No seriously may the best team win, and BRING BACK LAURIE DALEY!


Soccer...The FA cup has been won by Chelsea, over Everton. Sorry Tim Cahill :-(


Barcelona beats Manchester United in the Champions league, much to the delight of the Liverpool fans. Could Soccer have any more Leagues or any more Teams? It's starting to get confusing for us AFL lovers :-S. Im still not sure who is allowed in the Champions League. It appears to be only the best teams who are allowed in. In that case, my Nephews under 12 Soccer team is pretty good, can they play in the League too?....

The Socceroos Squad has also been selected for the World Cup. We will find out who made the cut and who missed out, all the big ins and outs from our expert.

Basketball...Just have to mention that the Melbourne Tigers are still alive, and kicking, yee haw. Lets face it it wouldn't be the NBL or half a league without them. And they win more games than Richmond, but it wouldn't be hard (Sorry Tig's :-P).

This week we chat to a member of the Melbourne Arganauts Rowing club. We will find out if there is any Trash talk in their sport. Maybe some boat rocking or intimidation over the megaphone. The Melbourne Vixens dont talk trash in the Netball, as we found out in our interview last week with Brooke Thompson. But they dont really need to anyway cause they just keep winning!

Racing...Apache Cat is still our No 1, Group 1 horse. But will the semi-bald cat be challenged by another feline in 'Nothin Leica Cat'?

Mr Ed interview update: Ed was seen this week at a table tennis tournament in Peru. We went in to talk to him in the post match press conference, but instead of fronting up to the media, Ed was quietly ushered out the back and snuck into a limo...ok a milk Truck. But we're still on the chase/case

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.

Peace out*
