absolute channel closely compared decrease flat higher inventory level levels match prior quarter resulting sales shipments slight supply weeks year
We effectively managed our distribution channel to closely match our shipments in with distributor sales out. Channel re-sales were seasonally down about 3% during the first quarter but were more than 17% higher than a year ago. We managed our sales into the channel to this level of re-sales, resulting in a slight decrease in absolute inventory levels for approximately flat weeks of supply in the channel compared to the prior quarter.

I think he's very upset with the injury that he caused to Jeff White but I think everyone's openly admitted it was an accident, and he had no intention at all to cause any damage to Jeff White. Probably the whole week now has got to be focused on him being able to go and play that competitive style of footy again, because he is upset about it,
couple knew weeks
We knew it would take a couple of weeks for him to get going, but we just knew that at some stage....he would come into this form,
almost frame game helps last played precaution trained week
It was a strain. He didn't have anything on his scans, and last week, we really could have played him. He trained last week as you all would have seen, and it was just precaution that we didn't play him, which almost helps this week because you know that he'll go into the game with the right frame of mind,
face feeling guy hard hospital incident outcome screws severe sure tragic weekend
The outcome of the incident is pretty severe and it's tragic that (White's) getting screws in his face and plates, and you put a guy in hospital like that, I'm sure he's feeling about that. We want him to play really competitive hard footy on the weekend too.

We had a pretty good week as far as injury and blokes pulling up well from the game, and we've got a couple back this week, so eventually it looks as though it's working out a bit,

They are small chances to play, but maybe they'll be better off if we keep them away for another week or two.

Bookings outpaced even our strong sales growth during the fourth quarter driven by a combination of broad end market demand and longer lead times. In addition to higher order rates for products supporting notebook and desktop applications, bookings for products serving the display end market increased significantly.
against difference experience final home huge last melbourne momentum playing team though travelled year
Even though we have not got the (winning) momentum of last year, we have the experience from last year and that's probably more important. It's a huge difference (to play in Melbourne). We haven't been a team that's travelled well and to play a final in Melbourne is significant even though it's against a team playing at home as well.

Sometimes you have so much success, you forget what got you here. We need to be more selective at the plate and work the count better, things like that. ... The good thing is that our guys have been through it, and I think they'll be fine.
