Crow Boy Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) It is getting close to that time of the year when the blustering wind and mind numbing cold of a Melbourne Winter starts and the locals wonder if there is any chance of getting a Victorian team into the Grand Final for 2007?

Crow Boy Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Sorry, this has nothing to do with Chiang Mai, so I'm moving it to Sport p1p when I started this thread it was for Australians who like Australian football in Chiang Mai. The purpose was to get together like minded Aussies and to meet in a Chiang Mai pub to watch the game. I specifically named it Chaing Mai Ausssie Rules not Thailand or greater Asian Aussie Rules. I am thinking about closing this thread and requesting a new one which will be Chiang Mai specific. Many people, including myself do not look outside our local forum so the likelyhood is that visiting or resident Australians will not know to look in the general pool. I have just spent 20 minutes trying to find this thread and think that at the very least you could have shown me the courtesy of sending me a PM to discuss it beforehand. I am happy to discuss this with you via PM but my request is that you move the thread back to the CM forum. If at a later time it becomes Thailand wide with other expat Aussies from different regions then I would be happy to consider it better placed in the general forum but for now I don't think it appropriate. regards Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow Boy Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Lid still on at Carlton Wednesday, 21 March 2007 @ 1:15 PM sportal.com.au There is a good mood at the Carlton Football Club since winning the 2007 NAB Cup on the weekend, but coach Denis Pagan is wary of the pitfalls his side encountered when it took out the night premiership two years ago. "We probably got in front of ourselves, we didn't know how to handle it, we got a few injuries and confidence drained as a result of that," Pagan said after a training session on Wednesday morning at MC Labour Park. "We just didn't handle it well, we hope we do it a lot better this time." The Blues have a lot to look forward to this season after many of their younger players produced encouraging performances during the pre-season Grand Final. "Marc Murphy was outstanding, along with a lot of other midfielders, and Bryce (Gibbs is) still learning the tricks of the trade," Pagan said. "The benefits of playing in a game like that were enormous for those young men who ran out with the Blues on Saturday night." Gibbs, the 2006 number one draft pick, can expect to debut as soon as the season starts. "We'll play him in round one if he gets through training, we've still got a few training sessions to go," the coach of 328 games revealed. The round one match against Richmond looks set to be crucial in the development of another inexperienced player, Setanta O'hAilpin, with the Irishman almost certain to line up against star Tigers forward Matthew Richardson. "We will, we'll play Setanta, we'll go with him all the way through," Pagan said. "He's just come on in leaps and bounds and we're gonna stick with him and, okay, if he makes a few blues, we'll ride them and go with him." Meanwhile, the two-time premiership coach has sympathised with Eagles star Ben Cousins following West Coast's indefinite suspension of the 2005 Brownlow Medalist, and he wishes for a positive outcome. "I just hope that Ben can straighten (out) whatever issues he's got, no one knows what they are," the two-time premiership coach said. "You can't help but feel for him, I think he needs all the support in the world at the moment." The Blues have experienced various off-field dramas themselves in recent times, but Pagan is thankful that the controversy surrounding his club has seemingly come to an end. "There's a real focus on all those sort of things (negative off-field stories) and sometimes they get blown out of all proportion," said Pagan. "I think we probably learnt a big lesson from that, the playing group, and they've been pretty strong on themselves since that and I hope they can keep it up."
