2012 HIGHLIGHT
Numerous Aussie heavy acts really stepping up their game: Beyond Terror Beyond Grace, Thy Art Is Murder, Be'lakor and Twelve Foot Ninja among them.
2013 PREDICTION
Australia regaining the Ashes and Manly winning another premiership. And people getting far too worked up about the metal/hard rock category at the ARIAs again.
