    Please post up a TLDR summary at the end for me

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    Great work Sheikh. Shame others are so disparaging of the effort you've gone to.

    Is there a point to posting travel distances? Perth is an isolated city and the Force are always going to rack up the frequent flyers

    Should have found a better way to spend your Sunday morning.

    Ummmm, I don't think, in the contect of this competition, Perth is more isolated than Tokyo or Buenos Aires.

    But maybe I'm looking at the wrong map!

    Well I was talking about Perth's general isolation given Perth is one of the most isolated cities in the world with a minimum 4 hour flight to an away game (although I fail to see how that wipes a whole day out of a sides perpetration).

    Perhaps they fly Jetstar, I can see then how a 4 hour flight, with associated delays and waiting for your luggage to arrive from Adelaide would kill a whole day!

    Or those who are on such a severe budget that they play the odds on having their flight delayed or cancelled when looking at the specials board.

    5 hour flight, plus at least an hour at the airport before-hand, and maybe 30 minutes afterwards, plus travel time to and from the airports, means you don't get much to do the rest of the day. Plus there's the difference in sitting on a plane for 2 hours (relatively easy, most people will sit down for ~2 hours at a stretch at some point in the day) to sitting on a plane for 5 hours, which affects muscles and the risk of DVT (see Morahan this season!)

    Anyway, you must have missed half my post, as it wasn't just about distance travelled, but also number of journeys and number of times you change time zone, which always screws with the body and it's ability to recover.
