Rudd’s appeared to be the enthusiasm of the very recent but still not very well informed convert. That scarf looked like it had come out of the plastic only a few hours earlier.

Following in the great sporting tradition

I had the great pleasure of attending the Brisbane v Carlton Aussie rules game at the Gabba on Saturday nite. One of the advantages of attending events live is that one’s attention isn’t directed by the tv and I doubt many at the ground paid much attention to Rudd except when the game had finished and Rudd made a greater spectacle of himself than what was then happening on the main arena.

I don’t know whether the tv showed it, but I was at the Stanley Street end and saw the big almost full moon rise over the Vulture Street end as the Blues’ star fell.

The Lions have no hope against the Doggies next week, but.
