Let's go Australia, Olympics thread

Good Crows girl too.

Should go well in the flying lap and anything could happen in the points race, just hope 7 show them live!

So them Opals. Going for Gold?

Swisse ad?

 

[hey shorty]

Opals blow it....... unbelievable

 

[King Elvis]

Unbelievable.

That was pathetic.

LOLpals

 

[hey shorty]

Cambadge played a decent game but my god she's a sook.

Haha was never going to happen, just don't have the class of previous campaigns. Was obvious from the first match, too many slow starts, turnovers etc

Disagree. They've got so much talent but they expected it to happen.

I know she's our best player, but they almost need to drop her for a while.

Reminiscent of Mitch Starc or Shane Watson earlier in their careers - shocking body language and constantly sooking; a very poor way to behave and lead a team.

That last play was shithouse as well - all we needed was the two tall girls to post up; neither of them did - dumb.

You're being generous in even referring to it as a play. That was a mess. Seriously, they had 10 seconds left, there is no time for a pick and roll. You're a foot taller than everybody else on the court, just go and stand next to the ****ing basket and let the PG get it to you.

The Opals camp have just about matched the Kookaburras in premature bath water drinking, as evidenced by Lauren Jackson's complete dismissal of the Serbs on commentary. The back court had absolutely no chemistry or desire to create, after how many pool games?

We should've smashed them - fair enough for Jackson to think it; you'd think the actual players might've realized they actually needed to perform though.

Too busy sooking and swearing because she wasn't getting fouls for repeatedly falling on her own arse.

I wonder if Kyrgios watched Cambage go off at the refs the whole game and is thinking to himself what time is Kitty's press conference to condemn her olympic spirit.

 

[Hendersloane]

We finally won something!!

[Hendersloane]

Nettie 2nd in the flying lap, 4 pts behind 2nd place with the points race to come in half an hour!

Can anyone inform me whether the premium version of the channel 7 Olympic app still shows the television commercials? Not talking about the app ads, but actual commercials from tv.

I'm wondering if I watch the basketball on the app through my Apple tv, if I can watch it commercial free. I don't want to go through the bother of updating the Apple TV and setting it all up if it's just the same as the television broadcast.

If there's ads on the app, there'll be ads on your tv.

Interesting to see the Aussies didn't pick up a single point between them in the men's/women's points race in omnium

 

[Red mist]

So performances aren't stacking up to expectations this Olympics. Becoming the hunted and can't handle it or something. Need a rethink.

The participation award culture - need to embrace expectations and learn to thrive on it.

Sounds a bit like some comments on Saturday nights game v Port.
Hope the team is switched on.

Having never played basketball it seems odd that they call these soft fouls for the slightest of touches but didn't call for the hard body contact. Just an observation but it did appear that she was a little hard done by.

 

[adelaidecrows]

The Aussies are bombing across the board except for the odd few. Too much partying? Maybe our different teams need to stay in different parts of town in the next olympics.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Are the Opals out?
