39 Years Old, 10 soon to be 11 world titles, all in 3 different decades.
What happened the other day will only be a small bump on his pathway to claiming his 11th world title. It is undeniable that Kelly Slater will be more determined than ever to claim the ASP world Title after the ASP gave him the Title after winning his Round 3 heat, but then miscalculating and realising that he still needs to win another heat to claim it. We can only hope he claims it.
If he does he will go down as one of the greatest sportsman of all time...

No Buddy - No Hawks ?.......Bombers to cause upset !
Can Hawthorn recover from what looks like a 2-3 week injury with Buddy ??
No Roughhead makes it very difficult for the Hawks to progress.
Watch Essendon cause an upset in front of 90,000 at the "G".
Go Bombers........

Are Collingwood getting the "wobbles"........
Are Collingwood starting to look vulnerable ?
Are they capable of back to back Premierships ?....if they do, what
will happen to Malthouse.....
He will be the first back to back coach asked to step down !!
But, they appear to have real competition from the Cats and the
Hawks.......
The Colliwobbles.......are they back ?

The Future of AFL Football looks uncertain ?.....
Is the AFL at the crossroads ?
Free Trade ?......too many blowouts ?........teams winning by 20-30 goals too often.....has the game lost its appeal ?....crowds down ?.....
Question has to remain......have they played with the rules too much ?
For example, with the new substitute rule and rotations means that the better teams have an advantage of being able to keep their midfield fresher, which means that the gap between the very good teams and good teams will continue to grow.
No longer, with the rule change does it allow the lesser teams to "shut the game down".
Look at the recent results.....Melbourne blowout, Power, Gold Coast et al.
The constant playing with the rules has caused this.
Now, with the up-coming Free Trade, will the AFL end up like English Premier League where only really 3-4 teams can win each year ?.....the gap between the poor and rich clubs will expand ?
Is that where the AFL is going ?.....

Bombers Gutsy Win !........and how bad are the Power ?...
The Bombers with only 26 fit men on their list came out and beat Sydney by a point last night.
Adam Goodes missed a shot after the siren. Watson killed them with 31 posessions and Fletcher may just play for ever.......amazing effort.
The Bombers in the 8, and out of 7th on just percentage.
A great effort.
How bad are the Power ?....a 138 point record breaking loss in memory of C.Cornes.
Bring Back Jack Cahill........

Has the Cats bubble burst ??.......
Did the Cats peak too early ?
Playing finals footy in May is not always the best way to
win a Grand Final.
Losing to the Bombers last week and the Eagles last night, shows
that their best form may be behind them.
It will be a true test for Coach, Scott !

BOMBERS ARE BACK !!............
The Bombers 4 point win over Geelong means the Bombers are back in business !
Coming from 5 losses in a row - Travis Colyer came off the bench to surprise.
Hirdy and Bomber had outcoached the Cats and the odds of +$7 showed it was a
good bet !

STOP PRESS : Mark Williams to coach Crows......
Reports out of Sydney are that Mark Williams and family are not happy
in Sydney.
Reports are that he wants to return to Adelaide.
He wants to coach again...
Which AFL team will need a coach next year ?.......
Will Adelaide Crows have the courage to pick him ? ....could he be a great 3 year
coach at Adelaide ? ......or will they take the "easy" option and pick "one of their
own". ?
Imagine the marketing with Mark Williams at the Crows........imagine him taking the
boys to the outer side at three quarter time ?
Why not ?
Changing a culture - means making bold change - but, are they brave enough ????!

CEO Sleep Out.......amazing experience.
What an amazing experience......hearing from the two people and their real life experiences as a homeless person.
Hearing from "Theodore". who encountered abuse as a child, then lived in the streets from Age 14, her challenges with drugs and to where she is today, as a mother and a wife.
An inspiring story.
I encourage everyone to do this next year and you dont need to be a CEO, you just need the right attitude and approach !

Bombers Bomb....
Has Hirdy's bubble burst ?
A 21 point loss to a struggling Roo's, suggests that the
season peak may have been some time ago.
Injuries played a factor as did a "dodgy" umpire decision late in the
last quarter.
They play Hawks, Geelong, Tigers and Adelaide next.
At least pencil down the Crowbots win......
Final 8 for the Bombers ? ......still a chance.

Time for a change at the Adelaide Crows ??......
Is it time that the Crows made a decision on Neil Craig ?....
Reportedly, the best squad in his tenure....are they playing with any passion
or creativity ?....
Has Craig's game plan got potential to win a Flag or not ?.....
Have Adelaide got the courage to make a decision or has Craig got a
"job for life" ?
All question that will be asked this week without a doubt !!

Dreamtime at the "G"........
The Boombers won by 36 points against the Lions.
Next week, they play Richmond at the "G" in the Dreamtime
annual clash.
The mighty Bombers sit third and are proving many of the critics wrong
with consistency in their games.
Zaharakis had 25 possessions in a scrappy game and will look next week to cement their spot in the
Top 4.

Crows have to get 100 Points...........
Here is a very interesting fact.
The Crows in Season 2010 reached 100 points on 7 occasions. In Season 2011, they have just once. Thus for a total of 8 times.
Lets compare this to Collingwood.
In Season 2010, Collingwood scored above 100 17 times and in Season 2011 have done it in every game. Thus, for a total of 22 times !!
What can you take out of that ?!
You need to score to win.
You cant defend to win a Premership
Is that the issue with the Crows ?......they may be good enough to make another finals, but is this
gameplan and style good enough to win a Flag ?

Collingwood too good this Anzac Day.......but not by much
There was not a lot in it.
Dyson Heppell is another "Hird lookalike" , outstanding to watch.
Great signs and they are certainly beatable.
Enjoyed the match, the boys loved the rooms afterwards, although the
mood could have been a lot better.
Jed meeting Bogut was amazing, great photo.

Anzac Day Clash.....The Bombers to win.
Expectation surrounds the Anzac Day clash with the Bombers in
rare form and expected to take it up to the Pies.
Hird understands what is needed on this great day as the pressure
and stoppage work will determine the winner.
Jobe Watson has lead from the front and the Magpies will struggle in a
game where they have yet to have had real pressure.
Three big men in for the Bombers, will give added height on a day when there
is expected to be no rain and favour the big men.
90,000+ will be there in what is a great tradition that should never change.
The silence of the Last Post bugle is amazing.

Gold Coast Suns First Win Today ?..........
Can the Gold Coast break thru today against Port Adelaide.
Power have always struggled post a Showdown game.
At $17 a win, could be a decent bet ?......
They have to win sometime !.............

Boston Marathon 2011.
Will be run Monday 18th April, Patriots Day in the US. The most "serious" marathon of the World Majors. Qualifying times and a limit of 28,000 athletes. A Kenyan and/or an Ethopian has won the race for the past 20 years. The last non African runner to win was Italian, Bordin in 1990. Australian Robert de Castella won it in 1986 in a course record at the time. He was also the first person to win prizemoney for the race. This years winners, win $150,000 cash for both male and female. Everyone is primed, this is not a "fun run", it is full of serious qualifiers. Bondy looks strong !........
