Swans Tragics

Yuletide is upon us.
We’re off.
But lets try and keep you involved over the holiday period.

We Tragics may dream about living the life of an AFL footballer, but being an umpire like Peter Carey can take it that dream a little bit further…..

It may not have been widely known this side of the Nullarbor, but the Fremantle Dockers have been voting on changing their club song as part of their renewal program.
The result is in, but we Tragics believe the fix was also in because none of the options went anywhere near showing the real toughness, the hardness- the “grunt” if you like- of the Docker’s team.
So we’ve reworked the voting form with our suggestion added. Click on the link below, have your vote and see its effect on the result.

The Tragics admit that we are very focussed on football. Maybe a little too focussed sometimes.
So we are happy to report that we were intrigued by an article in the SMH last week about Australia’s progress in the World Kabaddi Championships of 2011.
“Kabaddi? What’s kabaddi?” we hear both of you ask.
Think Rugby League without the ball. And shouting “kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi” while holding your breath. (Here is the Wikipedia entry if you need to know more).

Ok, firstly here is a bit of the action in the Australia v Germany game. (It goes for 21 minutes so bail out when you think you’ve had enough- but maybe you never will)

But the real reason that we became intrigued was the aforementioned SMH article.
There is more about the issue here
Kabaddi will be on our radar from now on.
