    Damien Martyn in “serious condition”

    Yikes. Hope he’ll be okay.

    Players you almost forget played for a second club

    I got the inspiration from the ‘players you are surprised are still on an AFL list’ thread. This is dedicated to players who either started their career somewhere and then went on to have a long career elsewhere. Or spent a long time at one place and finished off somewhere else. I’ll start off...

    Rules Insufficient intent is out of control

    Just now a Freo player kicked it 40m up field to a teammate on the wing. Missed him, and it rolled out. Insufficient intent paid. What the actual heck? Just bring in last touch, like enough already, if you want pretty much continuous play just change the rule.

    Summer 2024 Paralympics - Day 2

    A bit of a mixed bag for the Aussies on Day 1. Our top ranked wheelchair rugby side lost a close battle to GBR, 58-55. And our men’s wheelchair basketball side lost 66-55 to the Netherlands. Thomas Gallager won our first gold in the mens 50m S9 freestyle, with Crothers winning a bronze in the...

    Summer Olympic themes/medal ceremony music

    Being an absolute Olympics nut, I look at the little things which helps immerse me even more in the games. The medal ceremony music is a big one for me, and it can honestly elevate the whole experience. My favourite medal ceremony music is from Tokyo 2020. To me it doesn’t get any more stirring...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 16

    Here we go, the final day. Not long until depression hits. But truth be told, it already has. Day 15 was a mixed bag. Silver to Jessica Hull in the 1500m final. And the Stingers in the water polo, putting in a gallant effort against Spain. No medals in the golf, diving, weightlifting, and...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 15

    The penultimate day. Yesterdays highlights included Rai Benjamin, Spain in the soccer, Netherlands outlasting China in the women’s hockey gold medal match, Kenny Bednarek just continuing to run away from Coleman. USA claiming bronze in men’s volleyball. A few more medals for Australia. But it...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 14

    I’ve spent the day trying (unsuccessfully) to catch-up. Just finished the women’s waterpolo Australia vs USA. Unbelievable. Can’t actually believe what I just watched. Clutch play everywhere. At 5-2 thought they were gone. Just incredible. It was a gold celebration and rightfully so. Just hope...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 13

    Life has beat me. I’ve learnt a valuable lesson. Annual leave will be take in future Olympics. Enough about me, more about Australia. Incredible. 18 golds. I’m speechless. I’d have more words if I had a chance to see them. I’m the process of rectifying the problem. Day 13 tonight.

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 12

    Pretty eventful day, look no further than the Boomers dramatic QF loss to Serbia. Haven’t seen the Boomers put together a quarter and a half like that possibly ever, before it all came crashing down. End of an era for several Boomers. We picked up our 14th gold with 14-year-old Arisa Trew. The...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 11

    I would love to recap day 10, but I just haven’t seen enough of it yet. I know Japan left me heartbroken in the men’s volleyball, losing to Italy in devastating fashion. And Noemie Fox won an amazing gold in the kayak cross, which brought an incredibly emotional reaction from father Richard in...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 10

    I got nothing today. Both in terms of a write-up and energy. I still don’t know any results from last night outside of the tennis and the Kookaburras. Plan to watch replays when I get home but I know by watching replays I’m going to cut into tonight’s live action. And so much happened overnight...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 9

    Day 8…Ebden and Peers. Gold medal! That’s all I have I have time for. No wait, I have time for one thing else. FEMKE BOL!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! Day 9 highlights: Final day of swimming with probably one genuine gold chance and some other medal chances. Athletics continues to heat up with the...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 8

    What. A. Day. It matches day 9 of Tokyo where we won 4 gold as one of my favourite days of Olympics ever. 3 gold yesterday, but the stories made them all the more special. Cam McEvoy, who’s career was all but over, reinvented himself and wins gold at the age of 30. Kaylee McKeown securing the...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 7

    No content from me today, literally haven’t had a free minute. Lots of athletics today, get excited.

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 6

    Jess Fox. Incredible. Again she handles the pressure faultlessly. We are whitnessing a truly special athlete. Penny Smith won bronze in womens trap final, and Natalya Diehm also took bronze in the womens BMX park final. The swimming was a disappointment, some not entirely unexpected though...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 5

    Kaylee McKeown. That is all. What a superstar. Men’s 4x200m relay team were excellent, everyone did their job. Winnington especially given he swum the 800m less than an hour prior. Speaking of which, not sure why he burnt his petrol tickets by 300m, but glad he had something for the relay. ZSC...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 4

    Another golden day for Australia, with Mollie O’Callaghan winning the 200m freestyle ahead of defending Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus. Chris Burton also took silver in the equestrian individual eventing. A successful day for our hockey teams, with the Kookaburras winning 2-1 over Ireland, and...

    Sorry, no time for anything other than shamelessly using this from another thread.

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 2

    Action packed start to the 2024 Olympics, and Australia had a great day and sits atop the medal tally. A gold to cyclist Grace Brown in the womens time trial as she blitzed the field, and then gold to Ariarne Titmus and the women’s 4x100 freestyle relay team, our 4th consecutive gold in that...

    Summer 2024 Paralympics - Day 1

    I’m about to sit down and watch the opening ceremony. Anyone seen it? I’ve heard it was very good.

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day 1

    And here we go… starts in less than 24 hours. Didn’t take long to feel overwhelmed at the thought of how much I want to watch on day 1, and how much I won’t be able to watch. And looking at the schedule, I want to pull an all-nighter. There’s so many highlights, I could’ve just copied the...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Volleyball

    Super excited for the volleyball! Actually one of my favourite and most anticipated events on the whole schedule. Japan have shot up the rankings, now 2nd. So keen to see the human trampoline Yuji Nishida go about his business. Men’s competition: Pool A: France, Slovenia, Canada, Serbia Pool...

    Summer Paris 2024 - Day -1

    Competition got underway overnight, with the first official result being Australia edging Samoa 21-14 in the men’s rugby 7’s. The Aussies started a little sluggish, falling behind early, but three-time Olympian Henry Hutchinson scored 2 tries to lift the side. Later on, while most of the country...

    Summer Paris 2024 - 1st day of events

    Here we go!! While it’s not officially day 1, the pre opening ceremony events officially get underway tonight! Soccer and Rugby 7’s both take centre stage. It starts at 11:00pm AEST with men’s soccer. One of the heavyweights, Argentina, faces off against Morocco while at the same time, it’s...

    Roast The Rotten Stench of the AFC

    How bad is it? The board. The coaching staff. The list managers. The playing group. It ALL stinks. Zero accountability, zero drive, no elite standards. We’re in a big, big mess for a long, long time. Because changes will never be enough, when this mess requires drastic, sweeping changes.

    ATP/WTA Masters 1000 Miami

    ATP/WTA Masters 1000 Indian Wells

    The “5th Slam”. Genuinely does feel like the next best thing to a slam. The location, the 96 player draw, the crowds. It’s got it all. Draws haven’t come out yet but women’s qualifying got underway today and the men’s qualifying starts overnight. Storm Sanders and Olivia Gadecki go against the...

    ATP ATP 2024

    250 tournament from Montpellier, France is underway shortly. It’s a weak but interesting enough field, but a little surprised Fils isn’t competing here given its in his home country and he reached the SF here year, his tour breakthrough. Top seed is Holger Rune who you’d suspect will take this...

    WTA WTA Tour

    2 tournaments start soon. A 500 in Linz, Austria and a 250 in Hua Hin, Thailand. No draw yet for Linz but this was a tremendous tournament last year with great crowds and atmosphere in the indoor facility. They’ve been upgraded to a 500 event this year but honestly, what terrible timing for a...
