Aussie Rules Football

[Steadmund Brand]

Don't the Aussies play tennis any more? Where are the equivalents of Laver, Rosewall, Newcome, Roache, Emerson, Stolle, Court and Goolagong?

They do indeed.... even had a #1 in Lleyton Hewitt for a bit there... wow.. why do I know so much about Aussie sports.... I'm an american who has never even been to Australia!!

I'm also a Yahoo Serious fan... please don't hold that against me!!

Yeah Lleyton was a while back.. and sad as it is, I think he is still the highest ranked Aussie (man) somewhere in the 40's... but hey.. at least you do have Sakio Bika as a Super Middleweight boxing champ!!!

And I do so need to get down under... that is my next big trip I want to take... Last one was London...and Paris... But Australia is next (but that will take quite a bit of time and money )

Good on ya with the Yahoo thing.. I was actually going to write that I am a big Greg Pead fan.. figuring only a true Aussie would understand…But that was not a joke, I really am a fan… I wish I could explain why I find Mr. Accident so damn funny!!!!

As for the Guernsey, tis ok, I understand… I am a giant… I am use to that.. however if there is anything you are looking for, American sports wise, let me know!!

Here’s to a bye week for Brisbane… whoo hoo I don’t have to see them lose this week 

I really don't mind Brissy winning but against the Blues, some on give me a break.

[Steadmund Brand]

I had to rub my eyes while watching that game.. I actually thought I was hallucinating... sorry Gut ... see all we needed was that bye week... now.. we shall have a good 2nd half run (hey I can dream right?)

How goes everything else... I am thrilled...my vacation starts in 2 days!!!

Keep your chin up... Blues are still having a better season then the Lions.... and it was close, could be worse.. did you see that Sydney Vs. Geelong game....wow!!!!

G'day Steadmund

Being in NSW swannies and Greater Western are the other teams I keep an eye on, as said before Aussie Rules not really my first love, but my beloved Bunnies are coming good in the NRL.

Where you going for your vacation.

The bride is keen on another cruise this year for us.

[Steadmund Brand]

Hello there Gut

Vacation this year (1st one of the year anyway) is the same trip I take every year (this will mark my 20th year in a row)... to the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction weekend (remember.. Boxing is still my 1st love.. then Baseball then Aussie rules )....It is an amazing weekend, and one that is really set up for the fans, unlike most Hall Of Fame ceremonies... most things are totally free, tons and tonss of general interaction between the fans and the guests, and on average over 50 current or former world champs from all over the world are on hand... just a great time and over the years I have made some wonderful friends from all over the world that I get to see this one time a year (From places like Englad, Scottland, Germany, Poland, Australia, South Africa, Brazil etc etc... it is really a global event).. if you are a fight fan you should think about making the trip one of these years, we do get seveal Aussies and Kiwi's each yeah. and hey Jeff Fenech does show up there every few years..

a cruise eh??? that sounds like a lot of fun, I have never been on one.. I have a silly fear that I would freak out.. like in Hitchcocks Lifeboat (i know... much bigger boat!!)..

As for the Swans go.. I did like watching Barry Hall play.. well, i should say watching Barry Hall punch .. I know, not fair... he was an amazing goal kicker!!.

well... have a great week.. and I shall talk to you soon..

your friend across the ocean----

G'day Steadmund

What hall of fame was it you attended WBC. Who was inducted this year?

Yea I've never met her but seems nice what I see, she gets no recognition here.

[Steadmund Brand]

Goodmorning Gut

The Hall of Fame I go to is the International Boxing Hall of Fame (yep the big one.. the real Hall of Fame) which iss located in a small little village in New York state (Canastota NY to be exact), quite close to Syracuse NY.

As I said this is my 20th year in a row attending the inductions, it is my favorite week of the year.. a great time, and as I said friends from all over the globe show up every year.....just an amazing event.

Carlton go down.

Lions down to GWS, how low can they go.

[Steadmund Brand]

Good morning

Yeah this was a hard loss, especially after a 2 game win streak... but like I said, I can almost taste the wooden spoon
