I will continue to maintain that he must have deserved it. Possibly he had suggested that Ryan O'Keefe is somewhat challenged in the downstairs area. Maybe there was a conflict of opinion about Therese Rein's (aka Mrs Rudd) wardrobe during the recent Prime Ministerial overseas jaunt. Either way there must have been a good reason for Barry Hall to loose his absolute friggin' mind and belt West Coast's Brent Staker. Otherwise the man who has god-like status in this household may need to take a step down on the hierarchy of immaculate beings we worship. Only a small step mind you... after all, it was a West Coast Eagles player...

In other Swans' related news we have won three out of four of our first games this season - all wins with big margins and the loss only by three points. Of course we now go into three big games (namely against Geelong and Western Bulldogs - both of whom are on fire baby) without Big Bad Bazza. May the force be with us.

Did I mention I picked 7 out of 8 in this week's AFL tipping? Who knew?
