NO PAIN NO TRAIN
Or to put it another way……….
SOMETIMES IT IS GOOD TO HAVE TICKETS ON YOURSELF
Why did the scarecrow win a Nobel Prize?
He was out standing in his field!
I am of course talking about footy’s very own scarecrow – Michael Voss.
He’s been linked with more clubs than Lindsay Lohan lately.
Mind you Bucks has spent more time in the coaching box this year!
No sooner has some poor schlep at an underperforming club been given the pink slip and finished his “the club is bigger than the individual/I wish them well” speech then Vossy’s name is being flung around like undies at a Tom Jones concert.
Fair dinkum, I half expect to see Vossy’s cube like good looks bobbing up on a Workchoices ad!
I’m just surprised he wasn’t somehow linked with the Ford Factory in Geelong.
But in what proved to be a rather ‘quiet’ week in football, what with all the comebacks, setbacks and knifed backs, once again the media circus took it’s collective eyes off the ball like a St.Kilda ruckman in a marking contest (1 week!?) and missed the BIG story.
SHANE WAKELIN ADMITS TO HAVING A SERIOUS GAMBLING PROBLEM.
That’s right!
Once again Hot Potato is first with the ground breaking news.
You can package it any which way you like Shane but Spud Central is simply not buying the “Magpie Warrior turns Eco Worrier” line.
Don’t get me wrong, after every kebab my thoughts turn to global warming also, but the photo of Wakes sprawled across the seats of the 5:09 to Richmond station accompanied by Shane’s revelation that he’d sold his car in order to do his bit in reducing his carbon footprint had alarm bells ringing.
Now normally I would’ve read the story and accepted it as truth. After all it did appear in the Herald-Sun. But I’m concerned Shane has come under some sort of financial pressure, most likely from gambling, and probably from backing the Tiges and Blues to win each week. I mean why else would you sell your car?
In case you were unaware Mr. Wakelin, you are a highly required piece of the Collingwood 2007 Premiership jigsaw puzzle. We can’t have you stranded on some train platform out in the burbs come September!!
In all seriousness though, reducing carbon emissions is a very important topic and I don’t doubt Wakes’ Bono fides for one minute. But if he is really wants to help clean up the environment what better way to start than with the Brians forward line this weekend.
In fact I’ll make a deal with him!
If Shane beats his opponent I’ll stop bagging the opposition at the games each weekend. That alone should reduce the amount of crap pumped into the air by half!
