Hey Mate,
ReplyDeleteWould you mind taking this one step further, by giving us a form guide.
What the feeling is on the ground. Who's on the nose...etc...
I know its a huge area, however I thought that I would ask anyway.
I am considering the form guide idea, but it mightn't be for all the LGAs as there aren't enough hours in the day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion.
