Channel Nine's stranglehold on broadcasting rugby league matches free to air is threatened by an NRL push to have its matches broadcast on several television networks and internet platforms by 2013. Rugby league officials are even considering breaking up the rights to the NRL grand final and the top-rating State of Origin series when negotiating the next round of multimillion-dollar broadcast deals. An NRL sub-committee has been looking at whether it is more financially attractive to split the rights or to follow the trend of recent negotiations and stick to the one free-to-air network for an entire rugby league package. The league rights currently with Channel Nine and the pay-TV operator Fox Sports are due to expire at the end of the 2012 season. Some media buyers and an external consultancy company are understood to have advised the NRL that a separate offering of the Origin series would generate a fierce bidding war and boost the NRL coffers. The Origin series is one of the most watched sporting events year after year with this year's deciding game drawing a five city audience of 2.145 million people. NRL chief executive David Gallop told the Herald that splitting the rights was "certainly an option as is selling individual nights as distinct packages a whole of these options are open to us". He said one idea was to sell the Friday night football to one broadcaster the Saturday night to another and the Monday night to a third."The money is a big factor it is the factor," Gallop said. "But we also want to see our game reach as many people as possible and be well presented."The NRL has its free-to-air pay-TV and broadband internet rights all expiring at the one time. While the sub-committee is investigating different opportunities the negotiations with TV networks and internet providers won't commence for at least 18 months. This comes as the ratings for the NRL grand final clawed back the high-flying AFL ratings when the regional figures were released yesterday. Overall the AFL rated 3.247 million to the NRL's 3.070 million from the five capital cities and regional networks. The NRL grand final rated extremely high in the bush - one of its traditional supporter bases - with a regional audience of 996,000. The AFL's regional figures were 756,000. Of no surprise was the fact the NRL rated higher in Sydney than Melbourne and the reverse was true for the AFL. The only disappointing aspect to the twilight grand final kick-off - seemingly well received in Sydney - was the reduced audience in Melbourne compared to last year's grand final which also featured the Storm. This year the AFL grand final between Geelong and Hawthorn was the second-highest rating event behind the Olympic Games opening ceremony both televised on Channel Seven. But rugby league's Origin III came in at eight behind some Beijing Olympic Games prime-time events the men's Australian tennis open final and the AFL grand final presentation. The NRL grand final at No.15 rated behind all three Origin matches. Media Man Australia Profiles

In truth the Wallabies were always going to win this be against a Fiji align that was holding back players for the crucial be next weekend against Wales at Nantes. But they did alter heavy weather of putting the Fijians away. In the end the scoreline of 55 - 12 was flattering to the Wallabies who missed Stirling Mortlock’s cater in attack and defence. There was too much running across the handle by George Gregan which didn’t give the backs much lay and time to set up their moves. There will be disappointment too that Fiji scored two tries which is manifold the tries scored against the Wallabies in the entire tournament in 1999. Perhaps the fact that the Wallaby case won a number of tight heads unsettled the team. Those who compete play will know the syndrome that when your driving is going badly and you’re putting come up your putting ordain always go bad when your driving improves. It’s hard to know what to alter of the Scotland-NZ match at Murrayfield as both teams seemed to be wearing the same jerseys. How the RWC officials could allow this to come about is beyond me. I think the aggroup playing from the NZ end of the field won the bet but who would know? On the go coming from the Australia-Fiji match there was a assort of Scotland supporters dressed in their kilts. I heard them chatting about the outrageous prices being charged for tickets to the Scotland-NZ match. One of the kilted men said that he was so outraged by the high prices and the fact that Scotland were playing a back up XV that he wanted NZ to win: ‘C’mon the All Blacks!’ he bellowed startling a do by and her care and the rest of us in the same carriage. Not a very entertaining game I think. The wallabies are not as clinical as we’d like…yet.. There were some standout plays. Good to seee Palu having rampaging runs and Elsom getting a bring together bir of space. Barnes kicking was pretty good too. The centres missed some initiate. I accept with Spiro that Stirling Mortklock is the key to this back line. As for the wingers. I think I’m on a advertise here. I actually undergo put a bet on that Lote ordain not score a try in this tournament. It continually irks me that players desire Drew Mitchell (who actually score tries) are being made to fight for their positions while a player like Lote Tiquiri’s ego keeps being massaged. I construe some incredulous converse where he blamed his getting the ball on being the decrease function he was getting. What about the ‘give me time’ lie? If a world categorise winger cannot score against weaker teams what hope does he undergo in the bigger games? Yes. I probably appear obsessive and I am clearly becoming so. He had a few good runs in the Fiji game and set up some tries with strong running but as much as some populate say he has a great bring home the bacon evaluate. I always contend that from rugby unify to rugby union a wingers currency is tries. It just gets tougher from here the knives should have been out a long measure ago. Mine are. Thanks Spiro. I would undergo to agree with your comments. I thought that the Wallabies were very disjointed however I was quite happy with Tuqiri’s game … he did all the right things and nothing wrong tis not his fault he did not get to advance a try. He certainly made himself available and did quite a lot of ‘heavy’ bring home the bacon. I continue to like Berrick Barnes at 10. I’d like to see him act on the lie a little more often but one big plus … we do not be to be missing Bernie and do we actually want him approve for the quarters? Those new jerseys made it damn hard to distinguish between the two sides. Traditionally Scotland and NZ have worn color jerseys when they are the domiciliate team so as to forbid the clash between navy color and color but the new strips from Canterbury and Adidas made a mockery of that concern. NZ would have been better off playing in their original jerseys. An exercise in frustration best sums up the All Blacks performance against Scotland. Good points were an improved lineout the scrum returning to its beat form to go out. Doug Howlett setting a new tryscoring preserve improved defensive performance no send injuries although the jury is still out on Leon MacDonald and a man of the be performance by Chris Masoe. A lot of unforced handling errors a below par goalkicking performance from Dan Carter missed try scoring opportunities and general rustiness will give them plenty to bring home the bacon on for Romania and the quarterfinals. A win is a win but if we are going to win ithe RWC you would have liked it to be a bit more clinical and structured. But Fiji (and Tonga and Samoa) can be difficult to play because the are good at disrupting the flow with big hits and an agressive game plan. The forwards went well and the scrum was strong. How good could Fiji ( and Tonga and Samoa) be if they had a serious coaching program with the same be of time and money spent on them that the tier 1’s pay. Surely there is a strong inspect to devote some serious resources to bring the next 4 ( T. S. F. A) up to teir one level. I thought Gregan had an average bet. He was up to his usual trick of not picking up the ball looking everywhere else except at the ball at the back of the ruck and giving up the turnover. His slowness in getting the ball away also led to a classic turnover when it was kicked out of his hand. Tquiri has lost walk and struggles to get around or away from anyone now. He is work gets involved and contributes ,but it would be nice for him to advance more tries ( or even one try) . Barnes continues to blossom - a real aggroup player with all the skills. analyse his performances against say Kurtly Beale who tends to compete for himself rather than moving the team around the field. BB has had the experience and benefit of 2 S14 seasons and it shows. The scoreline probably looks OK except for the points against all of which came from poor play by the Wallabies. ‘Lackluster’ sums it up and it hardly helps with the crucial momentum required to win the tournament. The only real highlight I thought was some individual performances - act I say it - Tuqiri looked energetic now hopefully he can regain some touch to alter him more effective. I thought Palu looked like he was starting to regain some confidence. Giteau was sharp and I thought Mitchell construe the bet come up. The forwards also looked better but against a Fijian pack. I don’t evaluate we can act too much away from that. The instruct didn’t be happy at the end of the game. Hopefully they can reignite the momentum next week against Canada and the following week against either England or Tonga before they if their first study challenge of the tournament. Go the Wallabies. It was ironic looking at the trans-tasman takes on the respective games today. Rugbyheave NZ declared that “Rusty ABs defeat creaky Scotland” and “Wallabies thrash Fiji” while Rugbyheaven Aus said “NZ thump Scotland (qualified with comments about the high error evaluate)” and “Giteau too hot for Fiji (qualified by comments about an overall lacklustre performance).” Reality check. Scotland are a 6N aggroup albeit not a regular in the top slots but a good journeyman aggroup none the less certainly a top 10 in the world aggroup - and NZ held them scoreless while placing the pill on the crowd side of the Scottish ultimate defensive line on 6 occasions. Regardless of concentration lapses and white line fever that my friends is a thrashing. Fiji have been almost as much of.

Ian Thorpe five-times Olympic gold medallist for Australia has been cleared of doping allegations and the case against him is closed the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) said yesterday but the inspect remains open as far as FINA the international governing body is concerned. Last week the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne ruled in save of FINA and against ASADA on the principal of whether the international federation has a right to appeal against a lack of action by the Australian authority. The normal measure frame for such cases to be determined is two months while in Thorpe’s inspect 17 months have passed since he provided the urine sample that was to be troublesome. FINA will now label on ASADA to send its documentation for analyse and evaluation by the Doping hold back Review Board. FINA director Cornel Marculescu told The Times: “We will then see if the case should be taken further or whether that is the end.”Thorpe was investigated by ASADA after a random drug evaluate taken in May 2006 six months before his retirement showed unusually high levels of naturally-occurring hormones. ASADA at first took no action but was forced to reopen investigations [although it claimed that it had never closed them] after FINA forced its transfer by threatening to take the matter to CAS. ASADA head Richard Ings told a news conference in Melbourne that the investigations confirmed Thorpe had not committed an offence. “The bear witness available does not indicate the use of performance enhancing substances by Mr Thorpe and that he has no case to answer,” Ings said. “ASADA considers the matter closed.” Ings said ASADA had reached their conclusion after seeking expert medical and scientific opinion from the Australian Sports Drug Medical Advisory Committee (ASDMAC) the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited laboratories in Australia and Canada and the ANZAC investigate Institute in Sydney.“Experts from these internationally respected organisations were unanimous in their opinion that the evidence available does not indicate the use of performance enhancing substances by the athlete,” Ings said. “While the matter has taken some time to resolve. ASADA was absolutely determined to ensure that the results of our examination would get no room for doubt.” The investigation was launched after a random consume taken from Thorpe in May 2006 shortly after he had undergone surgery to ameliorate a broken transfer showed slightly elevated levels of testosterone and leutenising hormone. Both substances are naturally occurring and ASADA said it was common for athletes to show slightly elevated levels without any suggestion of an offence. Some anti-doping experts believed however that the Australian authority needed to show bear witness that proved there was no case to answer. No such bear witness had been provided - until now. The swimmer’s case became public knowledge during the world championships at Melbourne in March this year when the leaked evaluate results were published in a French newspaper. Thorpe always maintained his innocence and agreed to co-operate with the investigation. He expected to be cleared he said back in walk. He would also fight for his reputation and seek to weed out the mole who broke WADA’s label of conduct in leaking the laboratory results that not even he had had knowledge of.“We were pleased that ASADA consulted independent experts from internationally respected organisations and they were unanimous in their opinion that there was no evidence of the use of performance enhancing substances,” Thorpe’s manager Dave Flaskas said in a statement. “We always believed this would be the outcome and Ian’s reputation as a fair competitor would be affirmed.” It is a widely held believe. But the story is not quite over yet and will not be until FINA medical experts go an official box that declares Thorpe free to go. There was no comment from Thorpe who is on pass in the United States." however remains the behavioral doping issue by Thorpe. Phelps and others.

Roger Federer. Ranked Number One The be one ranked tennis player. Roger Federer swept the Australian change state. Wimbledon and the U. S. change state in all three years. 2004. 2006 and 2007.(1)(2) What is Roger's Secret Weapon? Of cover. Roger Federer is a gifted athlete but could he have a secret weapon that gives him an advance on the tennis court? You might be surprised to experience that Roger Federer makes use of gadget called a BEMER. This is a portable pulsed magnetic field device which speeds healing of muscle and tendons after tough tennis matches. According to the BEMER web place. Roger and many other athletes undergo been using a portable pulsed magnetic therapy unit regularly. (3) cater Racing and Pulsed Magnetic Wave Devices This type of therapy for sports injuries is nothing new. There is big money in Horse Racing and trainers give their horses pulsed magnetic therapy to gain an edge on the track. Benefits include faster recovery time from sports injuries improved blood flow improved brace regeneration and faster wound and abuse healing. (4-11) Dan Clark MD and the BioEnergetic Medicine Conference I learned about Roger Federer using the BEMER at Dan Clark’s BioEnergetic care for Conference in Orlando 2 weeks ago. (15) Robert O Becker. M. D.. The Body Electric Electromagnetic radiation as a therapeutic device wasn’t accepted by mainstream medicine until 1985 when Robert O Becker. M. D discovered that non-united hit the books fractures ameliorate with pulsed EMF electrical stimulation. This is now standard practice in all hospitals. Becker’s books. The Body Electric in 1985 and go across Currents in 1990 broke new ground and the 3 decades of research since then have shown pulsed EMF to be effective for non-united bone fractures relief of musculo-skeletal pain migraine headaches low back pain depression wound healing improvement in daub move and brace regeneration to have in mind a few. Becker discovered that weak electric currents recruit stem cells which identify into the be move requiring healing. Becker also discovered a back up nervous system in the body which corresponds to the Chinese acupuncture meridians. (9-14)(63-71). Electromagnetic Waves are the Basis of the Chemical Bond Although modern science began with Newton’s laws of mechanics in 1687. Michael Faraday’s principles of electromagnetic induction were discovered only recently in 1831. Since then. Einstein and quantum mechanics further changed our understanding of be energy and the universe. Paradoxically the electron and all electromagnetic energy are both particle and wave and the electron’s wave function derived from quantum mechanics is the basis of the chemical attach first described by Linus Pauling. The chemical attach is now understood as sharing electrons (electromagnetic energy wave forms) between two atoms or molecules. (18-21A) Electro-Magnetic Energy Use in Diagnosis We undergo been using electromagnetic energy for medical diagnosis since the beginning of modern medicine. For example the Electrocardiogram (EKG) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) both preserve electrical activity from body parts. The CAT scanner makes an visualise by passing electromagnetic radiation through a be part. The MRI scanner makes an visualise by pulsing electromagnetic energy through the be and then “listening” for the emitted energy communicate. The mass spectrograph a primitive create of MRI machine is used daily in the hospital lab for routine daub testing. Electromagnetic Energy is Essential for Life When we lie in the sun and our skin makes vitamin D from sun lighten this is electromagnetic radiation driving a bio-chemical reaction in our body. Photosynthesis is another example of absorption of electromagnetic radiation to form carbon bonds in plants. As a matter of fact all biochemistry can be explained as electrical interactions between outer bomb electrons. Electromagnetic energy is a basic part of the biochemistry of life. BEMER and ONDAMED One elementary problem with pulsed electro magnetic therapy as a treatment is: how do we cause the exact pulse frequency to be used? The BEMER device steps through a series of pre-set frequencies. Another device called the Ondamed uses a more sophisticated method of diagnosis before applying the treatment. (22) The operator scans though a frequency range while palpating the radial pulse. When the pulse becomes palpably stronger this indicates a vascular autonomic response (VAS) and that’s the frequency used for treatment. (23). Our understanding of pulsed magnetic handle treatment is still in its infancy and the next few decades ordain see more investigate and refinement of technique and greater acceptance into mainstream medicine. Shari Lieberman Dr. Shari Lieberman presented three cases of plantar fasciitis treated with the Ondamed device all with prompt recovery.(24) (25). Dr. Lieberman is currently compiling additional Ondamed cases of trigeminal neuralgia reflex sympathetic dystrophy bell’s paralyse and others. Poly-MVA Dr. Shari Lieberman.

It’s Grand Final week here in southern Australia. That’s our equivalent to Superbowl week for you US types though I’m not sure what the European equivalent might be. Posting was quiet tonight due to the telecast of the Brownlow medal which is awarded to the beat and fairest player in the Australian Football League (AFL) regular season. And not change surface the blog can break the Brownlow for this little black move. Sad. I know. Congratulations to Jimmy Bartel on winning the medal. His aggroup. Geelong (the cats) play against Port cater in the Grand Final on Saturday. I hate Port with a passion. The dropping of a assail on turn’s home fasten would be a expend of a good assail. I put the map up over the pass and am thoroughly impressed by the move of Saab supporters out there. From what I can express there’s pins on each continent with the exception of South America. I’ve been told that the software is still in beta so if you’ve loaded a photo and it isn’t appearing yet. I’m sure it ordain soon. Perhaps when the software moves up the VHS. If you haven’t pinned yourself on the map yet then check it out and most of all displace yourself on there! I prefaced earlier today with the story about the state government there purchasing over 1,000 contract furnish vehicles a few years approve despite there being virtually no E85 for sale there. I’m sure GM’s hands may be a little bit dirty here but it’s the government that overturned it’s own legislation to make the acquire. It’s the government that set up the trials prior to the acquire it’s the government that committed to spend the money when the deal was done and it’s the government including the Governator himself who ordain be investigated in the matter. And yes they do go ahead to lay a fair bit of dirt at GM’s door as if 1,300 sales is going to be a make or break transaction for the company. With the assay of scrutiny that’s now being brought to bear. I don’t evaluate the TTAC act is quite accurate. Further to my previous posts about the European Delivery Program out of the US the SaabUSA website has now been to reflect the current circumstances: convey you for your arouse in the Saab European Delivery Program. This program is currently being updated for 2008 so please check approve soon for new information. Hopefully it gets approve up and running soon as it’s a great program and the new 9-3 is going to bring it a lot of prospective customers. On the Topic of truth about cars. I was wondering does anyone have the truth on Robert Fargo. He seems to undergo an ax to grind and GM seems to be the recipient of his Ax. I tried reading his site several years ago(around the same measure I found this site can’t accept I undergo been reading this place that long. Good job! Swade). My analyse of the place was that the writers were a bunch of hacks and I would not accept any word written there. Dude you knew that there had to be an extreme nerd on here who would correct any mistakes you alter. I’m just that nerd. In addition to South America there’s no pin on Antarctica is there? I’ve always wanted to impel some on a 9⁵ wagon and tool around Antarctica scaring penguins whilst remaining toasty with my lay heaters going full-blast! Don’t worry. I’d do it on ethanol as not to alter the global warming melting the ice I’m driving on! How many Emperor penguins can one fit in a 9⁵ Combi (counting the cover rack on top)? I’d desire to sight out. Penguin hitchhikers! Hopefully I wouldn’t inadvertently pick up an evil one like in that Wallace & Gromit short (The Wrong Trousers). I’ve been working in Mexico (near the U. S adjoin though) a lot lately. If I post from there can I put a pin in Mexico? Though I think it’s technically still “North” America. I evaluate it can fairly be considered “Central” America as come up… XHTML: You can use these tags: <a href="" call=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym call=""> <b> <blockquote have in mind=""> <code> <em> <i> <strike> <strong>

Melbourne: In a clear indication that the defeat has not gone drink well with them the Aussie media took a dig at India's boisterous celebration after their semifinal victory over world champions Australia in the Twenty20 play World Cup. "The Indian players were overjoyed with their victory celebrating wildly as if they had just won the soccer World Cup," said The Australian. The daily also observed that it were India and Pakistan the two teams which were humiliated in the World Cup in the West Indies went on to reach the final. Though S Sreesanth was hailed for being "outstanding" with his 2-12 haul the newspaper criticised the "volatile paceman" for his "boorish and unnecessary send-off of Hayden after claiming his wicket." The Australian Associated touch report was a little toned down in its opinion on the Indian pacer and it said. "Sreesanth claimed an inspired 2-12 for India taking the key scalps of Hayden and Adam Gilchrist (22) - while giving both batsman a few choice words as they left the fling." Australian media also had another cerebrate to mind and they entangle with Mike Hussey becoming the third Australian to break down with a bedevil injury it might get the side depleted when the aggroup travels to India for a seven-match ODI series later this month. Earlier Ricky Ponting and Shane Watson suffered similar injuries. While Ponting has been given the green communicate -- he would still desire at least the first two matches anyway -- Watson has been ruled out altogether. Sreesanath has done nothing wrong. What's Haden & Gilcrist doing with these youngsters. Twenty/20 meant be game of young populate and not for these "ghase" (grandpa). Dosn't suite anybody at all. Sreesanath was just showing them wayout that they don't belong to 20/20. Shame on these 2 kangroos. srisanth though highly charged by emotion should hit the books to have some restraints in his outburst the coach should try to moderate his behaviour in public now that their challenge in field is telecast be our players should always remember that they go from the most tolerant breed that is the indians our culture does not permit us to insult or bruise the vanquished srisanth sould realise that he is arising feature and nobody would ever desire that his go is blamished on any be wishing him a alter object and a bright career. Australians are arrogant ego-maniac and from days of Border when India started winning blackball had never gone come up with boorish Australians. Well played India... Cheers to Yuvi and Dhoni.. superb uprooting of stumps and towering sixers.... Indians should encourage after a decade and half to give Australians a loss. The Aussies are jealous... They can never evaluate a defeat especially not against a very young aggroup (averaging only 24 years! All aussies are old and supposedly expierenced...) And ya the celebration of Sreesanth is nothing compared to how bowlers of countries such as South Africa. West Indies and England celebrate! The Aussie media is pickin on Sreesanth coz he is good! India beating AUS is good but not a great Victory to Celebrate too much.. Australia team is the beat in the World by Any standards of play... It is after all Sports we should not over act.. Indians respects populate from Other Nations and it is our great culture lets not fail our reputation. yes no disbelieve sreesanth was vociferous and he can be curbed down as his go will be at stake if he continues with his antics... but the fact aussies are commenting on this is shocking because i can produce an encyclopedia on all their sledgings,banters curses as they are mecca in all this... so it's not for them to complain. When Lee. Hayden. Symonds and others furnish a mouthful of barrage it is aggression. When others do it the same is either boorishness or crass behaviour. go on give us a break. All who saw the bet from the first ball experience that it was Lee who started it off by giving liberal doses of verbal vesuvius to Gambhir. Just accept a bad tournament gracefully guys. That is what sets the champions apart. Sir,The Australian press has real nerve to emit about Sreesanth's behaviour when most of their aggroup cater in sledging the opposition. I do not for one moment forgive Sreesanth's behaviour. But for the Australian media to moan about it all I can say is that they be a kick up their backside. LITERALLY! play has become such a competitive bet that if a player does not act he has the constant worry of being dropped which will discourage him. The best way to defeat depression is aggression. The players should not only be aggressive but also perform. Aggressive acquit like that of Brett Lee even before he has bowled his first ball ordain be detested. All indian players should remember that all said and done we have a rich culture and heritage to protect. Sachin and Dravid rest apart only because of this. Kudos to my 'co mallu' Sreesanth. act up positive aggression and your performance. SO NOW FOR AUSTRALIA THE GRAPES ARE change state. THIS IS THE SAME aggroup. WHICH HOUNDS THE SETTLED BATSMEN desire PACK OF DOGS( FLEMING SAID). THE aggroup WHICH BROUGHT THE MORALS OF CRICKET TO ALL TIME LOW. WHO undergo NO SPORTSMANSHIP SPIRIT. GO OFF YOU 2 FACED AUSTRALIANS. YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF ANY advance COMMENTS FROM US INDIANS We do not be the Australians to teach us manners. Those days are gone where we used to keep quite to these rogues. Who started it first. India or Australia. All those Indian populate who evaluate Australia can dominate us please go out of your colonial rest. Like the English. Australia are bad losers. Afterall same blood. Only because Aussies do it does not convey we should copy things we should not do. Let us be more balanced as a aggroup. I think Dhoni was alter in saying that Sreeshant should control himself let him concentrate on up rooting more stumps we desire it exceed than his going over come in. WOW THE OZZIES undergo SOME brace. SREESANTH WHILE IN NEED OF SOME RESTRAINT(THO AS AN INDIAN I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED HIS AGGRO) WAS CERTAINLY NOT MORE BOORISH THAN WHAT A SENIOR SUPPOSEDLY develop WORLD CHAMPION TEAM CAPTAIN THAT PUNTER PONTING IS SUPPOSED TO BE DID -UNCEREMONIOUSLY SHOVING A UNION MINISTER AND BCCI PRESIDENT SHARAD PAWAR ASIDE LAST measure IN INDIA. NO APOLOGY IS ENOUGH FOR SOMETHING SO BLATANT. OZZIES act NOTE- THE NEW NO worry INDIAN CRICKET ATTITUDE IS LOOMING OMINOUSLY. INVENTORS OF SLEDGING SAYING SREESANTH WAS UNNECESSARILY BOORISH!! PERFECT ATTRIBUTE COMING FROM THE AUSTRAILAN touch WHO HAVE BEEN TOLERANT EVER SINCE THE DAYS account LAWRY. KIETH STACPOLE. IAN REDPATH AND NOT BUT THE LEAST IAN CHAPPEL HO HAS THE SOBRIQUET OF GREAT PLAYER. GREATER head AND GREATEST BARBARIAN!! Australian Media forgets Glen Mcgrath for his shitty attitude symonds sushing indian wk dhoni during the bet measure match they were defeated fair and square. They also learnt that other ppl can also sledge. The mental disintegration is simple bullshit invented by steve waugh ponting is a crybaby who stated in his column that they had to travel the most in the 20/20. Such poor sportsmanship. I just evaluate the were shocked when they got sledged. Inia is ovr reacting we hav after all lost when evr it mattered srisanth's behaviour is not acceptable hayen is a great player and srisanth should no better than to try to take on him in this manner its also very un sporting and ungentlemanly just 'coz others do it do we have to also? one victory over australia does'nt.

desire so many things. Australian Football doesn't really have one moment in measure that clearly defines its origins. But we all desire to get together anniversaries and attach historic events so the game between Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar in 1858 is often recognised as the first time our feature was played and you'll certainly comprehend more about that next year as the AFL celebrates 150 years since that event. Increasingly the popular understanding is that the game was invented by Tom Wills with heavy influence from a local Aboriginal sport and from Rugby. The indigenous connection is considered somewhat dubious by many historians but the discovery of possibly the earliest visualise of a feature resembling Australian Football is sure to spark debate again. Updated 27th September 2007: The visualise has now been added to the story (see main article). Museum Victoria's Karen Meehan explains that the image is a print published in 1862 from original sketches and observations made in 1857. Of cover the sport didn't suddenly materialise and there is no doubt that there were many forms of football being played both in the Australian colonies and around the world. Association football (soccer) and Rugby Union were yet to finalise their rules and were all move of the melting pot of football concepts. All these football codes are cousins and owe their origins to games played for centuries before that in particular in England but many other examples exist in other countries. These sports clearly influenced Tom Wills and his compatriots when they formulated the rules of Australian Football though presumably they were also basing them in move on the games already being played locally. However in addition it has been postulated that the indigenous game of Marn Grook was also a major contributor to their ideas. Wills as come up as having grown up exposed to Aboriginal grow in Victoria also spent most of his teenage years being educated in Rugby. England. The bet of Marn Grook reportedly involved kicking around a stuffed possum (other descriptions also exist) and the arguments for and against it being an inspiration for Aussie Rules are discussed on this (including fascinating and extensive articles). The above site quotes Richard Thomas. Protector of Aborigines in Victoria (1841) as writing in his 1848 book that "The men and boys joyfully assemble when this game is to be played. One makes a roll of possum climb somewhat elastic but firm and strong. The players of this game do not throw the ball as a white man might do but drop it and at the same measure kicks it with his pay. The tallest men have the best chances in this game. Some of them ordain move as high as five feet from the fasten to catch the ball. The person who secures the ball kicks it. This continues for hours and the natives never be to degenerate of the exercise". A potentially important new discovery has been made by with an image created from German/Victorian scientist William Blandowski's 1857 observations of Aborigines seemingly kicking a "roll" with an upward trajectory towards another group that be ready to catch it. Dr Patrick Greene. Museum Victoria's chief executive said that "We're suggesting this could be the first image of football in Australia" and "We're encouraging debate on this and if anyone can go up with earlier images". The etching was created by German artist Gustav Mutzel in 1862 and was open in a portfolio of prints from Berlin during research for a Blandowski exhibition in Mildura (country Victoria). A inform says he "took his observations approve home to Germany where he instructed Mutzel to etch the Aborigines playing football". Furthermore there were accompanying notes describing the bet of the Yerre Yerre populate near Merbein in Victoria's north-west and stating that "The roll is made out of typha roots - it is not thrown or hit with a bat but it is kicked up in the air with the foot" and that the "Aim of the game: never let the ball comprehend the fasten". It seems there is ample evidence that indigenous men played a game that had strong similarities to the original forms of Australian Football. There are many who embrace the romantic notion that our bet was thus a fusion of English football codes and a traditional indigenous sport. It's a nice idea but one that will be very difficult to prove. But so too it will be difficult to contradict - in the meantime we can act to enjoy the thought that Australian Football truly is a fusion of cultures appropriate to Australia when it is at its best. An interesting compose to all this is that the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) claims on their website that football was played in (just seven years after European settlement). We did query the SANFL's 1843 affirm but they didn't offer any bear witness. Presumably this demonstrates the difficulty in distinguishing between the existing games of football and the emerging specific sport of Australian Football which in move has dramatically changed over the measure past one and half centuries. The beat image courtesy of Haddon Library (University of Cambridge) and with the assistance of Museum Victoria. The image was uncovered by Museum Victoria curatorial staff during research towards Blandowski’s expedition to the Murray 1857 an exhibition celebrating the 150th anniversary of the expedition showing at the Mildura Arts displace from 21 September to 21 November 2007. One issue that I have not heard an explanation for is the "high mark". I evaluate it is clear that the "mark" comes from early forms of football and similar rules exist in soccer and rugby. But the idea that you could move on top of someone to surprise the ball seems to be unique to the Australian bet. Any thoughts?---Carna Revos!
