<p>And working with Cometti has done wonders for Bruce's commentary.

Nothing like that worries me. Anything that is said about me, or inferred about me like that, it never worries me. It doesn’t have an impact on me. It doesn’t change me in one way or another.

And due to political concerns, he couldn't answer honestly. While it was interesting if you're into footy industry politics - and who is, apart from those in the footy industry? - it wasn't particularly illuminating from an actual football point of view.</p>
<p>Roos has that mean streak like Grant Thomas, the pit of anger in his gut which he doesn't mind spitting. He'll call a spade a stupid bloody useless thing that can barely shift earth, and has been superseded long ago by more efficient earth-moving equipment.</p>Tony commented on 'OFF: HIRD; ON: ROOS'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0147e2a5017e970b2011-02-18T00:40:30Z2011-02-18T00:40:30ZTonyhttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/By the way.
