Women's Sport Discussion

[Bluella]

Ok fair enough

But then I love the tennis, which I realise has the same effect on plenty of people.

I've enjoyed watching the women's T20 matches. Bit over-reliant on the spin bowling but theres been some great contests.

Can i ask why you dont ?

Is there a pro female darts circuit ?

Doesn't take much but them's the rules....

I actually like the length of punishment there. I know it's only a small amount but reiterates that it's not on.

Sat next to Meg Lanning on the flight home from Brisbane tonight. She is the Australian women's cricket captain yet most on the plane would not even know who she was. The irony!!

"Who's the sporty looking woman sitting next to Tony Lynn 15?"

Kudos to ABC taking every day of the Australian Women's Open golf.

Once the intervention order expires I am sure I will be able to sit within 10 rows of her again!!

Bit unsure about IVO gags..........

Pretty sure they do every year. Pete Donegan used to commentate and for mine he is one of the best all rounders in the business.

Fair point, it was more for taking to her non stop rather than anything else.

Really enjoying the subtleties of the women's game. Commentary from women ex-players and I think Quentin Hull. No hyperbole, no ridiculous whispering green side, no intrusive, screaming advertising. Very civilized, a great promotion for their game. WTF, I don't even like golf!

Best sport on earth, knew Ace Andy and I could turn you around!

I was working within 100 metres of the house in Hoppers where that awful murder happened Thursday night. Left for home at 9.25. Police arrived at 9.30.

It's a very bad world out there. A mate of mine is in the homicide squad and some of the stories are horrendous!

Yes it will, wait until the US Masters rolls around. You won't be able to help yourself!

AFL announces 10-match national women's exhibition series to be played in 2016

Nup - most of my enjoyment today comes from the way the game is broadcast and presented - won't be watching any squawking, screaming American efforts.

That does not happen at the Masters!

 

[thylacine60]

No. They have music as players walk up the fairway akin to something from Handel as Christ ascends through the clouds. Ridiculous hyperbole and faux nobility for a stick and little ball giggle.

You are referring to the recent Phoenix Open tournament not the Masters. The US Masters is one of the few events on earth that has not sold out. Steeped in tradition and played at the greatest golfing amphitheatre on earth, Augusta. No sponsors are acknowledged and there are no sponsors products on display. Fans act civilised and treat the tournament with respect.

I'd still rather watch Sponge Bob Square Pants. True Story.
