Can someone in the hockey community. ( not Joe but Field) explain what is happening with the Aus mens team
Basically, the other teams have been prioritising defence, knowing that we like to play a high-scoring open game. If they can stop us from scoring, then all they need to do is take advantage of a breakaway opportunity which will inevitably come.

Have you forgotten just how awful 9's coverage of London was?

The "Buzz in Brazil" segment with Mitcham and the bird is absolute tripe.
Hands down one of the worst things I've seen.
And watching Hamish dance around the graphics for 5 hours is a bit much also.
Thanks Christ the rowing was cancelled due to inclement weather, one of the most boring sports going around

Oh yeah I've been shitting on the Buzz in this thread each time I see it. Zero chemistry, zero interest, all the awks.

And **** off the rowing is awesome and a school friend is a gold favourite. :thumbsu:

Cringeworthy stuff.

Rowing finals ok. Rowing where Aussies are involved even better but watching heats we're not even in is hard work

Day one people faulted strokes dropped oars and fell in the sludge. Best excitement you could hope from in the heats.
