After GB whooped Aus' asses in the normal Olympics I didn't think Aussies had the heart to watch them get pounded in the Paralympics too ;)

Definitely should get more recognition though - these are fantastic athletes battling adversity, inspiring stuff
Absolutely, people who have to sacrifice everything just to compete! Athletes who NEVER get to perform at their highest level in their home town! People who travel the globe just to show how determined they are to compete at against the best!

EDIT: So then. What does that say about Paddy Dangerfield who ran back to his mummy because he could? HHmmmm

I Wonder what professional athletes across the globe, especially those who had to inch, claw and battle all the way far, far way from any remote existence of their family. Have to say about Paddy's homecoming?

What grind my gears:

The above comment with double standard on athletes.

Lebron James the best player in basketball left and came home.

Danger has become the best player in the comp and can do whatever he wanted, he did his time in Adelaide and then choose to leave.

The double standard comes from this, say im an accountant and i get my first job in a small firm but then have the opportunity to get a job i enjoy more and get a pay rise in a bigger company. if i take it isn't it the exact same thing as what athletes do, yet basically nobody has the same job they started with.

Yet when an athlete does it they are un-loyal or a coward.

question Tbag do you work for the first company you ever started with?
I hardly see Paddy moving to Geelong from Adelaide as a comparison from a person leaving their starting firm to a bigger firm. Given Adelaide FC is a bigger firm than the Geelong FC ???

No, I have never worked outside SA so .........

Did Paddy improve his pay? No, Did Paddy improve his Premiership aspirations? (Geelong minus Paddy of course Adelaide with him, when the sook left) No

He only left because of the scenery but guess what? I see that same scene at Mogs Creek every time I wake up in my wonderful Adelaide Hills

Therefore, Paddy is just a mummy's boy :o

Paddy D's what, 26? Time to make your own way in life son!

Question was have you ever changed job.

He can have whatever reason he wants.

Maybe he wants to live in the most liveable city in the world? Like loads of people around australia and the world are doing. Its what i did.

I used to do this, but if it do it the way I do it now, then it shows me which pricks are underperforming!

PowerBug

Agree with Jukes, you sort by price ;)


SuperCoach web page sorts by average, but the SC app sorts by price :o
