GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
I was away for the weekend, so I neglected to mention that over the weekend in the semifinals of the AFL Finals Series, Collingwood knocked off a depleted West Coast Eagles squad, 93-74, in extra time, while the Kangaroos rebounded from a triple-digit loss to the Geelong Cats to defeat Hawthorn, 93-60. Collingwood will face Geelong in next week's preliminary finals, while the 'Roos will take on the Port Adelaide Power.Footy fans, however, are paying little attention to those games at the moment. All eyes are focused on Chris Judd, the West Coast Eagles star who announced yesterday that he wants to leave the club and return to Victoria.
Try to imagine Larry Bird in his prime announcing that he wants to leave the Boston Celtics and be traded to the Indiana Pacers, because it's closer to his hometown. That's pretty much what this is, and clubs based in Melbourne are lining right up to get their hands on Judd, a former AFL MVP who may be the only real role model the Eagles have. Losing Judd will be a huge blow for West Coast, though they can expect a pretty sweet trade deal for him.
Collingwood and Carlton seem to be the leading clubs for Judd's services, with the Blues offering some very high draft picks, though not their #1 pick. They have denied offering Brendan Fevola in trade, though, which is a shame, because Fevola in Perth could be the greatest train wreck in sports since Tonya Harding. We are all poorer for that trade not happening.
