    Tough watch. Not shocked to lose but I didn’t expect the same lack of effort as 2022. We have no plan for when the game isn’t on our terms. Not sure what needs to be done with this group but hard to see how they get over these scars and actually win a flag.

    F1 F1 2024 thread

    Never drove a car that won a drivers or constructors championship but still managed 8 wins and 32 podiums. The last week has shown he’s one of the most popular drivers of his generation. Never getting that podium in Melbourne is probably the one thing that he just missed out on but he had one...

    Anyone genuinely made money betting on sport

    Agree with the vibe of the last few posts. It can take a pretty big mental and physical toll on you even if you’re winning. I’ve been lucky enough to make ok money for a couple of decades without ever being a pro. Like most started out a complete mug before putting more time and effort in...

    Cripps is a super player and no issue with him winning it, but the overall count was a joke. The concentration of votes at the top end is unreal. Wouldn’t be surprised if part of the blowback means Cripps polls much worse no matter how he plays next year. Given it’s a midfielders medal does...

    Premier Lg EPL Matchday 5 - On Optus Sport

    Some fans from all 20 clubs in the league believe there is a conspiracy against their team by the refs. Usually just a mixture of refs incompetence and fans not willing to accept decisions against there team whether they’re right or wrong.

    Premier Lg EPL Matchday 5 - On Optus Sport

    Strange game. Great result for Arsenal getting a point away with 10 men. But given it’s against City, that late goal is really 3 points dropped in the title race. City give up an early lead at home, but manage to get a draw after losing their most important player. The Rodri injury might be...

    Great game. What a finals campaign from the Lions. Looked gone in two interstate games against top 4 teams and found a way. Little worried this has a 2016 feel to it.

    If Ricciardo really wanted to stay in F1 he might need to do what he did last time again. Very doubtful all the drivers who start the first race next year will be there for the last one. Depending on which team it is that needs to fill a seat and how long into the season it is he’d probably be...

    Arsenal are just better than them. Players missing, not at their best and still a pretty comfortable win. Will push for the league again this year. Poor from Spurs, especially after the goal. Too slow moving the ball and they need to learn to actually shoot. Johnson especially stalling the...

    Same as Russell as well. Charles even only has 7. All 3 of them have been touted as future world champions and 5+ seasons each in F1. Oscar hasn’t finished his second yet and is as likely as anyone to pick up more wins this year. What a start to his career.

    F1 The Wash Up - Previous 2024 Race Weekends

    This is a real statement drive from Oscar. His ability to make tough, clean moves is unreal but now he’s held off one of the best drivers on the grid, looked after his tyres and defended brilliantly. What a day for McLaren, especially given where Lando started. 1st and 4th with Ferrari and RB...

    Oscar should be invoicing Sky as a commentator given the amount of times his radio has been used by the broadcast to explain what’s happening to another car this year. His radio message did a better job of explaining what happened than what Karun and the other bloke managed even after seeing the...

    Some mental demons there for GWS. Probably should be hosting a prelim but end up going out in straight sets. Fair play Brisbane, they’ve looked finished a fair few times this year but somehow a win away from another GF.

    He shouldn’t have done it as the coach but the Hawks can’t be surprised someone at Port made sure to remind Ginnivan of what he said. Especially given how crucial his miss was. I’ve enjoyed the Hawks this year and their attitude. They’ve been entertaining and good for footy. I enjoyed the...

    PS5 Playstation 5 - Articles, accessories and everything else

    A big reason people paid so much extra for a PS5 at launch was it had very limited availability and it was the jump into the next gen to play games that wouldn’t be available on old consoles. Also in theory the earlier you buy the more value you get if you’re someone who buys each gen of a...

    He is a good rider, but 4th place finishes in the Tour and Giro to go with this podium is a great record for a rider of O’Connors talent. Groves would have one of the best schedules to maximise results of any cyclist in the world. He’s hasn’t got the pure speed of the very top sprinters but he...

    Sad thing is the score line flatters Carlton. Pretty ordinary prep for next week for the Lions getting it this easy.

    Our best win in a long time. Heeney is on a different planet and that goes down as a Nick Davis 05 type of performance in swans history if we win it from here. GWS were great and they can definitely still win it doing it the hard way. The team I’d least like us to play if we make the GF.

    They are ahead of schedule Hawthorn and the improvement from the start of the season is insane, but overall their rebuild should be something other teams can achieve. They had missed finals for 5 years and hadn’t actually won a final since 2015. No doubt they are well run but it says a bit about...

    The on topic thread 4.0

    There’s 25 players in a premier league squad plus the kids but managers seem happy enough to send out the same XI when fit, and plenty of players don’t seem happy about sitting out games. The new champions league format is overkill but it’s 4 extra games a year for 4 teams, and is part of the...

    I remember back around that time we’d have an evacuation drill and a lockdown one each year. Problem was the thought of it ever really happening here seemed so insane as a kid no one would take it seriously even if it was real. America can’t be fixed on this as sad as it is. Too many people...

    That’s on Oscar though. They asked him about one stopping and he told them not an option. I don’t blame him either. If Charles got chased down with a couple of laps to go he didn’t lose anything and it was worth a try. If Oscar stayed out after leading the whole race and didn’t make it to the...

    Premier Lg EPL Matchday 3 - On Optus Sport

    In isolation losing away at Newcastle isn’t an awful result but Spurs have played well enough to probably have 9 points. Next up Arsenal then they hit the period with European games where no doubt they’ll have some flat performances. Only a few games in but a loss in the NLD could really ramp...

    All credit to Charles and Ferrari, they did brilliantly. Don’t think you blame McLaren or Oscar for losing the lead really. They played the percentage option and got beat by a team who were in a position to take a massive gamble. I wonder if Russel and now Charles defying the chasers by staying...

    Transfer Discussion Thread

    Seems very high risk from Chelsea. Obviously they hope Sancho plays well but if he’s not great and they have to buy him in 12 months, and still have the Sterling problem to deal with when his loan ends as well it would be a really bad position to start a window in. They need Sterling to have a...

    La Vuelta Ciclista a Espana 2024

    I couldn’t have been more wrong about Mas. Roglic still could find another bad day or not keep the bike upright for another week. The race for second behind him is really wide open so still think we’ve got some entertaining stages to come.

    La Vuelta Ciclista a Espana 2024

    I think Mas has looked the best of the lot so far heading into the longer climbs and would probably have him favourite from here, but he’s possibly the most capable of throwing in a bad day that ruins his race.
