And everyone is entitled to their opinion, again like I conversed with Aussiebrenno once where I said its a bit like we have footy teams we are passionate about, we also can have horses we are passionate about, but sometimes like footy, people can be a bit too one eyed and defensive of their champ, to a point where they overrate them a little too much.
I think that's very close to how it is, like one-eyed footy supporters.

Not sure how many of you have lived in Perth - it is an awesome place but also a real fishbowl and they can tend to really pump the tyres up on their footy teams (and horses) to bursting point. Not hard to understand why/how given it's the most isolated city in the world.

Good case in point was Lance jokingly suggesting the great pretender as ITMQ's entrance song - and the over the top defensiveness back from the eagles boys. All a bit of fun but not quite as friendly from the west if you know what I mean.
