Footy Connections
This week’s connection is Footy Almanac, an eclectic mix of match reports and philosophical musings. John Harms and Paul Daffey first published The Footy Almanac in 2007 and then established a website so people could publish their footy stories – and other stories. At Footy Almanac they love footy and sport, but that’s not all. There is also coverage of the arts, politics, history, wine and all the other good stuff. Life really.
As well they host events all around the country – monthly lunches in Melbourne, book launches in all of the capital cities in November and December. Read all about it at www.footyalmanac.com.au

Putting It Together
Sometimes I wonder if this is what it feels like for Mark Neeld and his coaching team?
Bit by bit, putting it together
Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art
Every moment makes a contribution
Every little detail plays a parts
Having just a vision’s no solution
Everything depends on execution
Putting it together, that’s what counts!
Ounce by ounce, putting in together
Small amounts, adding up to make a work of art
First of all you need a good foundation
Otherwise it’s risky from the start
Takes a little cocktail conversation
But without the proper preparation
Having just a vision’s no solution
Everything depends on execution
The art of making art
Is putting it together, bit by bit
(From “Sunday In The Park With George”)
And if you like Streisand here’s a musical version!
