Do we even have a pool up to standard? lolThe @PMalinauskasMP government has said it will not step in to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games because the cost-benefit analysis doesn’t stack up
I wonder if this is the first of more cancellations of these type of events. It is becoming clearer in the modern world these one off games events are increasingly difficult to stage with dwindling economic benefit.

I agree with that, but also in a general sense, other varieties of world cups, championships, etc. Especially for a place like Melbourne that should have plenty of existing facilities and infrastructure.Gone are the days that Comm Games are seen as a relevant sporting event. It's a weird group of countries that share a common coloniser. Serious competitors wouldn't have it as a priority on their schedule.
It's not 1982 anymore.
Surely be dozens of torn hammies down there doing sprints in the balmy 8 degree days.Why couldn't they slash costs by hosting it at existing venues in Melbourne & forgetting the whole regional angle? who cares, but a stupid idea anyway? I mean track 'n field in Ballarat lmao
Condense it down to a Sports Day & have it at Unley Oval... everyone's a winner
Send the games to Tassie, another excuse to build a decent stadium there.VIC / Dan Andrews have just cancelled the 2026 Comm Games !

Poms drop the relay as the runner steps in doggie doo in the final leg.Day 5 at Sports Day 2023: Australia wins Bronze in the Egg & Spoon race but disqualified in the Sack race for using a non-regulation hemp fibre sack.
Could they hold it in the Yabba?I can't believe Dan Andrews would do this
