Maglincer, let's not forget that this was in Tony Abbott's State of preference and in his chosen sport and given all of his 'heroic warmongering' and sabre rattling.
Just imagine what would have happened if he had made the same appearance in Melbourne at the AFL Grand Final chanting for Sydney!
As normal and as expected HE 'missed it' - Dennis Napthine is already about to stare Medusa in the face and the spectre of Abbott by his side in a State whose manufacturing, food processing and defence industries have been relegated to the dustbin by Abbott's rotten government was clearly a bridge too far!
