Stroll has had a hopeless season. Nonstop complaints from him and also way to far behind Alonso.
There’s no doubt he can drive ok in F1 but really only making up the numbers. He won’t ever win a GP, so at some stage the old man will take some money, which is a substantial profit on his investment, maybe for a minor ownership.
Surely Michael Andretti should be talking to him if he seriously wants to be in F1.
He has been rejected totally by the F1 field, so if he is serious, get in there and do the business.
But as a driver Michael never seriously committed despite his speed. He preferred the high living lifestyle from the USA rather than committing to Europe, which every F1 winner does.
So I’m not sure that Michael Andretti is fully committed to F1. More committed to headlines.
Fernando Alonso's future is secure, now it's Lance Stroll's time to deliver for Aston Martin
I think you’re right GC. I’ve seen this over and over in WAFL, AFL but not so much in NRL. Old guys (like me) get cranky and lash out. It’s out of character for Tedesco which makes me think you’re right. The teams losing, he’s having a s–t game and then this kick (not a trip).
NRL Round 7 judiciary: Knight gets ban for tunnel brawl, Tigers star facing ban, Roosters duo charged
Seems the writer is all excited over nothing teams. The Dons aren’t playing as well as they did under the previous coach. But they’re playing for the full game instead of doing nothing for a quarter or a half of football.
And Adelaide seem to find a way to lose. These don’t look like potentially flag winning teams.
It looked like a non-attempt to clear the ball at the end but we can be certain any attempt would have missed, because thats what Adelaide do best. Miss their opportunities.
Footy Fix: Ferocious, fast and fantastically coached - stuff the controversy, let's give the Dons the respect they deserve
I blame Joe Root for the long term injuries to Archer and Stokes. He overbowled them ridiculously and his duty of care to the players was never questioned.
Four overs max for Archer and six for Stokes (who doesn’t have a great bowling action) would have been plenty but he was doubling that. Root was comfortably Englands worst captain which is strange. He seems a nice guy and knowledgeable. He also ignored his mate Woakes not so long back when England were bowling poorly. Woakes wasn’t at his best but way better than what was being served up.
The possibiliy of Jofra Archer's career coming to an early end will rob cricket of a bowler with so much talent
The problem was Tedesco kicked out Papys legs on purpose. It wasn’t a reflex action. Certainly a ban deserved and probably given for anyone other than the NSW captain.

We are talking about having a backbone and wimping out when the going got tough. The Eels were pathetic. Like those making excuses for them.
'We gave up': Under pressure Arthur rages at 'part-time footy team' Parra as undermanned Dolphins run riot
Good to see that history.
The Sprint is back today with practice at 1pm, then sprint qualifying at 5pm.
At least the format for sprint races makes more sense this season. Also they’re allowed to change the car set ups after the Sprint race.
Also Antonelli was extremely quick driving an F1 Mercedes at the Red Bull Ring this week. If he puts in a standout performance in F2 shortly , you’de think the 2025 Merc seat would be his.
'Welcome back': Reliving the last Chinese Grand Prix ahead of its much-anticipated return five years later
The batters are onto the defensive bowling as they’re all trying to bowl wide yorkers. As Ponting said “attacking bowling is what will win you games”. Rashid Khan, back in form now, is the best exponent of that. Batters are scared of him.
'Unbelievable, special knock': Head smashes fourth fastest IPL century to help sink Kohli's RCB
This was a copy of what Sunil Narine said a few days back. Narine has been promoted to open or first drop as he cuts loose from ball one. He said that the game is for batters so you mostly suffer as a bowler but its fun to bat with no restrictions. Narine is one of the the tightest bowlers in IPL regularly going for 20 or thereabouts in his 4 overs. Not his exact words but his meaning.
Last night going for 10 an over was the best a bowler could hope for. That was Cummins, the best bowler in the game.

I reckon its working really well. Of course when you lose a game because a decision has been corrected you get narky, and the writer as heaps of that. In fact when everyone commentating called a goal on the weekend the review showed it was a clear behind. Probably cost the article writer a weeks wages by his hard done by response. Tough bikkies!
Change it or scrap it! The AFL score review system is providing more inconclusiveness than a balanced outcome
Garbage. Your time at the top is short. To be able to experience living in other countries and getting paid well for it without the brain dead media must have great lure. It’s easy to pick up union if you grew up with it. Probably a lot harder for a league player to become a rugby union forward.
CONFIRMED: NRL superstar joins ex-All Blacks coaching greats in Japan - could he do an SBW?
From what I see the system is not to blame. The board members haven’t been competent in carrying out their duties. Its not uncommon. Most are just delighted to be there. Obviously the conmen McLennan and Jones put one (& more) over them. They go to the meetings and are taken by the conmens ability and know how. But a check of their records tells you that neither have ever and will never deliver. They’re both primarily b/s artists.
The Wrap: Crusaders' shot clock fiasco and shhh, don’t put the moz on Darby
That would be the White flag your headline mentions. When the going gets tough Demons give up.
They always grab cheap goals at the end to make the score look ok.
Amid criticism about their off-field 'culture', the Dees have created an on-field one that could propel them to another flag
The main difference is that Brisbane is not an AFL state though the game is strong here. I’m in Redcliffe and they love sport but come a day like today we’re all Dolphins no matter what.
When I lived in Perth we Dockers had to put up with the Weagle flatulence.
None of that here. They seem to support both teams but the Phins are us.
So South Australia is the best and only choice for me.
I’ve never seen anything beautiful about SA during my visits there and thought it was a fallback state for inbreds. But they were business not leasure trips.
So I’ll be pleased to go to the Gather Round and look for beauty.
If the AFL 'really care' about bringing footy fans together, they'll keep Gather Round in SA
Well he played 2 good innings for the Heat and they were critical to Heat winning the title. So moving on we’ll see if he can do better. Most teams he would have been dropped before he came good. Like what will likely happen at the Renegades who have always been a basket case.
BBL bombshell as Heat success story poached by Renegades
He’s a great player and intelligent, theopposite of you. Rant on you clueless fool.
We’ll know by seasons end if he is doing well.
We do know that C Mckays rugby knowledge is non-existent.
What Joe Schmidt told Kurtley Beale about his Wallabies future
I think its good that Jennings can play. There must be a way to earn a living and he has been a great player. You can be pretty sure his ex is no angel but we never hear the other side of the story.
He has an opportunity late and going forward to not being in the news outside of his football exploits.
Lets hope he has learnt and moves forward.
Whether NRL celebrates Jennings' milestone or not is irrelevant, the real issue is should he have been allowed back?
The problem for Verstappen in Australia was a mechanic didn’t do up the bolts on the right hand caliper. I wonder if he still has a job?
Ricciardo is a great promo person for RBs brands and he is thereabouts on pace. I don’t think Dan was or is in contention for the main team. It would be a backward step they haven’t previously taken. Perez is pretty much the ideal No 2, though not as good as Bottas at Mercedes.
Its strange that Bottas can drive the wheels off the Sauber, then have to sit around for 20secs in the pits while they change a tyre, when the others are out in 3 to 4 secs. Demoralising!
Japanese Grand Prix talking points: Verstappen returns to winning ways as Perez solidifies grip on Red Bull seat
Given Walker was in the stand when he said his bit, the obvious conclusion is that is the way they talk at home and to friends and can’t hold their tongues when under pressure.
Mind you when in the mining industry every body was a f-n dhead and a csucker and once you understood that nobody cared. It was a manner of speaking you had to unlearn back in the city.
'Totally unacceptable': AFL bans Port star for 'unprompted and highly offensive' homophobic slur
Gotta agree. Norris was quick and needed to go longer which he had just indicated he wanted to do, and instead pitted behind the Ferrari and lost his chance. It looked obvious at the time & after.
Stroll was benoaming the lack of straight line speed of his Aston but was making his moves on the outside of the esses which he wouldn’t have been able to do with less downforce.
The top speeds were known from widely available FP3 speedchecks in FP3.
Hamilton was saying the car was the best to drive in 3 years, just not very quick :).
Seems like he has given up, letting Russell through like he did. That is un-Hamilton.
And Perez was a hair width away from taking pole off Verstappen. The closest he is ever likely to get vs Max.
It was a great race for Perez.
Lewis Hamilton lacked, Ferrari fought and Perez impressed: Japanese GP exceeded expectations in earlier calendar spot
I think you misunderstand Bretts comment Kamran. We love to hate Poms and can’t stand losing to them at cricket (or any game for that matter). With India its just a game of cricket.
Australia vs India: A stronger Test rivalry than the Ashes down under in recent times?
That Iranian womans team who recently played the Matildas were terrible. Having spasms on the ground after no contact then jumping up and playing on. It happenned a few times so was premeditated as a tactic.
This Mac incident was at best a yellow card. Ref made a mistake.
Simulation crackdown: If they like the spotlight so much, put A-League actors up before the Match Review Panel
I think with goal kicking you need to practice a lot every day on top of everything else.
Dan Carter had a huge routine.
What I find strange is that nrl league kickers are so accurate and whoever gets a shot seems to be a good kicker. It looks like a lot of each team practice goalkicking a lot.
Goal kicking is critical in Rugby Union with 3 points on offer on a referees whim.
Each team needs to have options, long range and replacement close range if the kicker is more than a metre off target.
Five things we learned: One area Gordon must fix to convince Wallabies boss, ABs bruiser should be on notice
I can’t believe how poorly the Rabbitohs are playing. They are capable of way better so its a collective form thing. When I’ve watched the forwards aren’t delivering up the middle and there is zero happenning in attack. I’m still expecting them to come good.
Demetriou facing sack after Souths' disastrous start with Bennett, Bellamy, Burgess possible replacement options
Actually they did. Its on TV if you want to watch 😁 . But I doubt that suits your agenda which is to create your own rights and wrongs.
To bad you’re wrong but I suspect you’re used to that.
Sure hope you’re not married.
