My favourite column in the Inside Football Magazine is crudely titled "Up Yours!" It's the space where people write their thoughts on footy issues to the editor of the column, Jim Main. I regularly write to this column and have had many letters published. Here are my most recent efforts.
Eagles' 23rd Man (26/7/06)
Dear Jim,
I do not believe that the Swans are that ill-disciplined that they should have been paid fewer than half the free kicks awarded to West Coast. Some frees against Sydney were obvious, but many were pedantic at best. Scott McLaren affected the result of the match, but good on the Eagles for a second-half belter. However, if McLaren umpires another Swans game I may be sent over the edge.
Jim Main says: The Swans lost, end of subject.
Eagles' Form Baffling (2/8/06)
Dear Jim,
The West Coast situation has me baffled. Until the big win over Adelaide, the Eagles had not played a full game for the entire season. Instead they have relied on their ability to run over the top of teams. Fox Footy's Clinton Grybas revealed an interesting statistic on White Line Fever when he said that over five recent matches they had led for only 60 minutes collectively.
Jim Main Says: Well, they jumped out of the blocks against the Crows didn't they? It would be foolish to write them off, especially after the thrashing of the Crows, but the Grand Final is at the MCG, not at Subiaco
