Shane Radbone: July 2011 - Crows.......finally

http://shaneradbone.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Finally the Crows had the courage to encourage Craig to fall on his sword !

Will they have the courage to recruit from outside or go the easy option and
recruit from within ?

What about Mark Williams ?.....he has a great record and as a 3 year coach option,
it will be the best selection. Rumours abound that Williams is not happy in GWS

Going with the existing known coaches or be brave ?

Has the Cats bubble burst ??.......

Did the Cats peak too early ?

Playing finals footy in May is not always the best way to
win a Grand Final.

Losing to the Bombers last week and the Eagles last night, shows
that their best form may be behind them.

It will be a true test for Coach, Scott !

BOMBERS ARE BACK !!............

The Bombers 4 point win over Geelong means the Bombers are back in business !

Coming from 5 losses in a row - Travis Colyer came off the bench to surprise.

Hirdy and Bomber had outcoached the Cats and the odds of +$7 showed it was a
good bet !

The Bombers are back !...........

Shane Radbone: March 2011 - The Bombers are the real deal !

http://shaneradbone.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

They are back...... Proving that the Pre-Season Cup Final was no fluke, the Bombers smashed the Bulldogs by 55 points today ! James Hird will be now known as the Messiah !....... The gameplan looks solid and many more victories on the horizon !!

Who Will win the Flag ?.........

Will Collingwood make it two in a row ? (hope not !).........

Can St Kilds break thru, finally ? overcome the scandals of the pre-season ?.....
Western Bulldogs done with...?....The Cats too old...too slow....no Bomber....
Hawks replay the magic of 08' ?......Swans (the bloods) repeat 05'.....perhaps....new
coach.....Crows....dont think so.....Power....no way.....Bombers...will make the eight.

Many Questions, not many answers.......

A great AFL season awaits.

We shall see !......

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2011

The Bombers are the real deal.

The Bombers are back !.........

In their first final for 11 years and a big chance to take it out.
The "Super Coaches" - Thompson and Hird are showing a
new style of game that can make a significant difference to
the team in 2011.

Watson was outstanding, Zaharakis was also very good. Quick
ball movement and usage of the ball has been a feature.

A good Bombers is great for the AFL and for crowds and support.

Go Bombers !

shane radbone: Gold Coast Suns, where will they finish ?

Gold Coast Suns, where will they finish ?

Where will the Suns finish in Season 2011 ?

Will Gary Ablett be enough to get them into them 8 ? Will they be able
to win away from home ? Will they build a home ground advantage ?

A lot of money has been invested in making sure they make the
final eight, but can they ?

Interesting season ahead........

Rafa or The Fed ?........

Who will be the best player the world has seen ?.....

The Fed or Rafa ?....... tough call.

Rafa has 9 slams, the Fed 16.

But at the same age (25), the Fed had 8. Does that mean that Rafa can
beat the Fed or can the Fed add to his 16 ?

Rafa is misunderstood and is very humble. The Fed is all class.

Is this equivalent on reflection to McEnroe v. Borg or McEnroe v Lendl ?....

Perhaps, the greatest rivalry the tennis world has ever see, often only obvious upon
reflection !

SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 2011

We need a win.........Socceroos.

The Socceroos are playing India in the first game of the Asian Cup.

Australia is badly in need of a win.

Has our Country lost its status as a great sporting nation ?

Have we succumbed to a lazy new technology world which produces lazy children ?
or have our politicians stopped investing ?

We need a win as a country.

C'mon Lucas and Harry bring home the bacon......

Should they keep the Fev ?

The Fev is at it again......should the Lions put up with him ?

Is his talent or distraction worth the effort for the team ?

It will be an interesting 48 hours to see how the Lions respond.

At 29-30 years of age, surely the question has to be asked.

Perhaps a media career is awaiting the Fev !

Shane Radbone: STOP PRESS : Mark Williams to coach Crows......

http://shaneradbone.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Reports out of Sydney are that Mark Williams and family are not happy
in Sydney.

Reports are that he wants to return to Adelaide.

He wants to coach again...

Which AFL team will need a coach next year ?.......

Will Adelaide Crows have the courage to pick him ? ....could he be a great 3 year
coach at Adelaide ? ......or will they take the "easy" option and pick "one of their
own". ?

Imagine the marketing with Mark Williams at the Crows........imagine him taking the
boys to the outer side at three quarter time ?

Why not ?

Changing a culture - means making bold change - but, are they brave enough ????!
