Who Knows.

A pleasing thing happened in season 2004 and it happened in 2003 as well. I hope this is a pattern because we’re losing some quality players this year. I call it the ‘who?’ effect (I call it this because I am very bad with coming up with good names for things). What tends to occur is that we lose a really great player, but they seem to be replaced by someone as equally great. For example, we lose Richard Swain, we get Cameron Smith. We lose Marcus Bai, we get Matty King. We lose Robbie Ross, we get Billy Slater. It’s good isn’t it? The best thing is that the replacements seem to come out of nowhere. I can’t wait to see the new Kearney, Howe, Reynoldson and Williams!

Speaking of Marcus Bai, it’s good to see he’s continued his success in England. The post-match celebration after his last home game for Melbourne was great, wasn’t it?
