Pies outplay the Blues to triumph by 48 points
Monday, 02 August 2010 15:00 David Boyle
Form and ladder position often count for little when it comes to rivalry games in the Australian Football League, and those rivalries don’t get much bigger than Carlton versus Collingwood – the silver tails versus the working -class battlers. But top-of-the-table Collingwood thoroughly dispelled any such superstitions Saturday, handing out a 48 point walloping to the Blues, a margin that didn’t nearly reflect their dominance. Lead by unstoppable midfielder Dane Swan, the relentless run and carry of halfback Harry O’Brien and the mercurial brilliance of small forward Leon Davis – who booted three, the Pies had the match sealed by half way through the second quarter. To describe Carlton’s performance as utterly woeful would be to succumb to the fact that suitably negative adjectives for this purpose have not yet been invented in the English language. Their furious coach Brett Ratten said it was probably “the most embarrassed I’ve been of our group”.

Construction
The Senate has signed a memorandum of understanding with a Chinese company concerning the construction of a new plenary building, though officials said yesterday that they did not know how much it would cost or when work would commence.
Oum Sarith, the Senate’s secretary general, said plans for the building were being drawn up by the China City Construction Holding Group and would likely be finished “within three to six months”.
“We do not know the budget for the building or the time required to complete it,” he said. He added that the seven-storey building would be 5,000 square metres, and that it would include a meeting hall, offices for the nine Senate commissions and an “official party room”.
