Having lived in Sydney and Brisbane I don’t think the AFL have ever actually spoken to real people in either city. There’s a big crossover between fans of both codes, especially in Brisbane. Every time someone from the AFL or a journo say something about how Aussie Rules is going to become the...

Wasn’t one of Musk’s big promises when he bought Twitter to end the bots? They’ve never been worse. Agree the ‘for you’ tab is a horror show. People farming for engagement is an awful experience and the way its setup encourages it. Getting extremist content shoved in your face when you don’t...

It doesn’t need to come from her or the party directly to have an impact. It’s been a narrative driven for a decade now by supporters and it’s done nothing to help the democrat cause. Just today social media has been full of white democrat voters directly telling minorities who voted for Trump...

And we come back to my original point that telling every person who voted for Trump they are either too dumb, racist or misogynistic to know what they are voting for might not be a great way to win people over or understand their views.

Trump supporters would say the exact same thing about him. Again I don’t like him and wouldn’t vote for him or the Republican Party if I was American. But if the next 4 years is spent telling people who either voted for Trump or just didn’t vote at all how dumb they are it’s gonna give the...

But they are always going to be judged by different standards because voting isn’t compulsory. The heavy lifting for the Harris campaign was to convince democrats to actually turn out and vote. Given the democrats have been on the nose themselves with a lot of left-leaning voters for years...

Not nearly well enough. Far too many sound bites from her and the whole party were aimed at how bad the opposition was. The election was always going to be won or lost on the economy and their messaging needed to distance herself from the Biden administration where possible and then make it...

I don’t like Trump or his policies at all but really the democrats in the US have to seriously change how they go about things. Just consistently telling everyone how bad the other guy is and how stupid people are for voting for him isn’t going to work. They just had to be much better at telling...

No good for my account balance but the story around the Cup winner is great for the general public and the kind of win the race needs every so often.

Pat Cummins must really hate losing. Most specialist batsmen would be happy to have as many match winnings innings as he does.

Would be as good a feeling you could get in sport watching that fly off your bat knowing it’s gone.

Would be great for the race if Via went there but would be very unlike Waller. Today only franked the Buckaroo form though if she doesn’t.

Hard to pick one but it’s in the conversation. Small but decent field and smashed them and the clock. Goes alongside Winx as the best of the last 20 years for mine. Funny the narrative was she couldn’t handle the hot tempo then produces that. Reminded me of VE’s Melbourne Cup win for Waller...

That was a proper Cox Plate. Horses searching for air a long way out and the best horse stands up. I got the race wrong but that’s the type of racing we need more of. Winner absolutely unreal

I don’t mind not having groups as the old format felt stale seeing the same teams play each other twice what felt like every year. It doesn’t feel like there’s enough jeopardy at this stage though with well over half the teams getting through.

Probably spent more money than I’d like to know on them over the years but I don’t think much beats a day out at a concert/festival. I love a day out at the footy but would take going to a good gig with mates over it every time. Got tickets for Oasis and it will finish up a pretty solid year...

I’d prefer bonus bets and promos to have been banned completely by now but that’s a purely selfish point of view because it has minimal impact on me. Some people 100% of their betting is matched betting or promos. Every dollar of their turnover is worth the exact same to the industry as one of...

Old mate casually scooping up that brown snake then nearly falling over afterwards was a cracking start to the weekend to be fair

Glad they’ve gone back to only one round at Bathurst. Agree with what others have said and happy they are trying something different. First thought is the finals format lends itself more to when there are more high profile drivers on the grid which they are a bit light on at the moment

Don’t think it’s as blatant as a list being circulated but the end result isn’t much different. The same people are doing the trading for all betmakers brands and the same goes for amused brands etc. Without ever being able to prove it no doubt they check for accounts on other brands or even...

I don’t think they sell but it will be interesting to see how the owners handle things if any buyers did come asking. Private equity firms generally aren’t buying football clubs to win trophies, it’s to make money. They seem to have a pretty clear plan now to buy young players on long term...

He can definitely win Roubaix. Timing on the calendar and needing to prep specifically for it will be the problem, though I’m sure she’s said he will try it at some stage. Basically needs to be a season where he’s willing to possibly sacrifice the Tour. Maybe 2028 he can do a full classics...

Spurs were pretty poor for a good chunk of the second half. Being generous could put it down to the Europa game with 10 men. United were awful before the send off and not sure how it gets better. Do they sack Ten Hag now 6 games in after backing him through the offseason.

Werner must be the player to waste the highest percentage of 1 on 1s in history.

Wraps up an amazing season for O’Connor. Great ride

Hasn’t made for the most entertaining race but I am glad Pog has ticked the world champ off the list. It is nice when the clear best cyclist in the world wears the rainbow jersey. I know there were a few issues at play but I wonder how he feels about skipping the Olympics now.

It’s not easy to hold the wheel of the guy with the most explosive attack in history. Tratnik was always going to be a limited factor given he cant hold off a committed group by himself and Pog wouldn’t be able to go full gas without dropping him as well. The gap is still below 90 seconds now...

I’d move the bye to between the prelim and the GF but not really for any fairness issues. It avoids players missing the GF over a concussion or niggle. No one remembers who misses a game week 1 of the finals but the players who miss a GF it stays with them for their careers and longer in plenty...

I know there are no radios and it’s not their usual teams but the tactics from some of these nations after Pog attacked are almost worse than the Netherlands yesterday. They had 100km to chase him down and power in numbers. Then suddenly some start attacking and some stop helping. The worst...

Colapinto and Bearman jumping straight in recently and delivering impressive drives only increases the pressure on Lawson to hit the ground running. Hope the fans don’t take it out on him as he’s not done anything wrong. Tipping the media will be quick to put the pressure on. Can’t imagine...
