Good Thing Greater Western Sydney Chose That Name

The newest AFL team, Greater Western Sydney, or GWS, should be glad that they chose that name. If they had called themselves the Sydney Funnel Webs, after the spider of the same name, they may have been unfortunate enough to have drafted fallen-from-grace former AFL footballer Brendan Fevola. Fev, as he is more widely known, appears to have been bitten by a spider recently and ended up in hospital. That wouldn't have been good publicity, would it?

At Last The Torture Is Over

We've waited six long months since that last Saturday in September but at last the torture is over. AFL is back tonight. Ok, so it's only Carlton and Richmond but it's a start. There are some new additions to Carlton taking the field - Chris Judd (bought from West Coast), some new kid from the Under-18s competition and there should be a portaloo with Brendan Fevola's name on it close to the boundary. The man has a drinking, and weeing, problem in public. Maybe they should call it the PortaFev.
