Eddie had inherited a dog's breakfast that was the culmination of seasons of poor management on and off the field. Funnily enough, that's similar to what Link wandered into at the ARU.

Well I finally got to see the men's 400m final. That was close to the perfect performance. In lane eight and with nobody to chase, van Niekerk went hard out of the blocks, hard along the back straight, hard at 200m, and held his form all the way home. Incredible.

A wall of sound that Phil Spector could only dream of.

Meanwhile, at Rugby House, Lichtenberg:

2008 was shocking. I switched over to SBS to watch the interesting events, rather than Stephanie Rice ad nauseum. I can't really watch the Olympics now. I'd like to watch van Niekirk's world record (43.03! That's fucking super human), but would rather shoot myself than sit through Channel...

I don't see the issue with western suburbs subbies clubs having colta teams. If it means young blokes enjoy their rugby, I say great. This is also assuming that Blacktown make the move up to Div 3 next year.

Oh but he's a supreme athlete! Going by that logic, we should hire Sally Pearson.

Hopefully there will flying cars and supercomputers by then. All of our problems will be solved.

One fatal flaw, D. Pillock - can't smoke bungers in the coaches' box. I suspect he'll be under the grandstand, on his phone to his bookie.

Oi! PB, ACT 'sader - this thread is now about Powderfinger: Hate 'em or rate 'em. None of this tangential rugby talk. We need to stay on topic.

Of all the bands to come out of Brisbane at that time - Custard, Pangaea/Regurgitator, Savage Garden, The Boat People, Bjelke-Petersen Youth - Powderfinger is the most prominent. Such a crying shame.

Sweet Jesus, I can handle the Wallabies staying #2 if it means that they never, ever reform.

And that's where I stopped reading. The guy was a marvellous player, but let's be honest, his tenure as Reds coach was the start of 'The Rot' that was only excised by Mooney/Link.

That's mediocre, WO, do better please.

I dunno, the BSHS, Terrace, Nudgee, and Ashgrove teams would all be very hard to beat. Bear in mind also that these guys were a year younger than their NSW counterparts in year 12.

Can't say I was surprised by Mowen. When one is appointed captain of the national team but not deemed valuable enough for an ARU top-up contract, it's time to take one's wares overseas while they're still in good condition. Dead right about Gill. Having said that though, he may well wish...

Should be named the Gunston Conference

Yeah, and doctors on the cycling thread

Fairly topical, wouldn't you agree?

It's all covered in AASB 5
