Why ? Because it was sunny up here in heaven,and I was trying to do a Sunday afternoon chill gig at the Torquay Hotel with my very talented mate but we were performing while watching the Saints and the Pussycatkitties go hard at it.and what a great game it was.Then I finally get home,had a sleep then stumped up to watch the tennis.Another gut busting,battle of wills,and watching another chapter of history being written.How lucky are we to witness sport being played at the elite level.And how classy is Roger Federer?And how valiant was Andy Roddick?I would love my beloved Tigers to take on board the principles that make champions.my advice to the boys....Watch,learn,and be inspired and dare to dream.Guess what?great things happen.
My favourite Mickey Malthouse quote from 2001....better to aim high and achieve than to aim low and succeed.
Only one problem with the game .it should have been played at the G.Simple.What is going on with the selfish idiots that are controlling the game.The sport is bigger than the individual.
And furthermore,so much for the free to air coverage.Or should I say the lack of it up here.I think there are some people who are running the game who are selling the game and the footyfans in QLD short.Ah well Im am too busy to let it bother me too much.
Finally,I want a few people in the Richmond coaching team to instill a bit of anger,mongrel and to treat opposition with contempt and a passion to win at all costs.Even if it means taking out a fewe opposition players..Thats what the club thrived on in the great old days.In other words...lets thrash em and bash em. >:D
 
Speaking of the Tennis, did anybody see the Roddick interview post match. Have never seen a sportsperson so absolutely gutted after a close loss. More importantly showed a ton of class and humility in praising Federer. Have always thought of Roddick as a bit of a d!ck, your typical arrogant, overbearing Yank. I now see him in a new light and have a heap of respect for him.
 
nitro, I very much agree with your thoughts about how lucky we are to see great sporting events live. I have tried to explain to some of my sport-hating friends and family this concept, that you are seeing history in the making here. The fifth set of an epic struggle at Wimbledon, the last few overs of a 5 day test match, the last minute of a classic AFL game, these things cannot be fabricated and nobody knows what the result will be. Fantastic isn't it to see it unfold in real time and if you are really lucky, to say later..."I was there!"

tbartiger, very interesting to see how someone handles victory as well as defeat isn't it? In a way, that loss could be the making of Roddick. I would imagine him being a massive crowd favourite if he could get to the final next year.

Both Federer & Roddick are class acts on & off the court
