Collingwood snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - GO ROOS! North Melbourne Kangaroos !
Oh what a match. I had been watching another Roos fan and his team battle against the poms only 11 hours earlier. Ricky Ponting Captain of the Australian Cricket team and passionate Roos fan had lead his side into a hopeful position in the second Ashes test. However he would have been disappointed with his (and mine :-()! ) Aussie Rules Football team the North Melbourne Kangaroos effort against Eddie Maguire's lack lustre, wannabe, pretentious 'pies. Even though we won in the last 10 seconds of the match coming from 4 goals down in the last five minutes of the game there was a certain assumption that the game was ours before we had won it. To the pies credit they came out strong without their whingy forward Tarrant suspended for striking. At half time the scores were level and then they out kicked us in the third. Then again, despite a bunch of skill errors, we came back in the dying moments of the game. Sorry no video yet I'll take a cam next week when we play the saints. Big Match! CAR'N THE ROOS! GO ROOBOYS! CAR"N THE KANGAAAAAAS!
