Last week I wrote how records in test cricket can last an incredibly long time before they're broken (if they are at all). I…
One of the absolute joys that makes test cricket unique is there is no other sport where records set, whether by intent or by…
There was a quiet and simmering expectation that David Warner would eventually reveal the truth about Cape Town sometime after he retired. Now that…
Por que no los dos?
Bennett twist to Eels' tale with Arthur sacked, Barrett taking over: 'Progress of our team has stalled'
Oh, keep picking him. The season is over…he’s on 88 games with 13 left in the season.
Get him to 100 games and then at least you can consider father-son/father-daughter picks in 10 years time. He’s got 4 kids, and the sport is incredibly dynastical. The chances are one of them will be AFL/AFLW grade.
Delist him immediately after that.
Six Points: Hawks' horror wasn't all Sam Mitchell's fault, and why THAT Rankine decision was 100 per cent spot on
And Sydney go 21-1 and then lift the cup a month later, probably won’t give a fig.
There is a nice symmetry to it.

How did they lose to Richmond?
The addition of Grundy, the subtraction of Franklin has been such a boon for the Swans.

Fancy WA teams having to play Geelong in Geelong!
Next time put Geelong on in Bunbury if you are upset by that.

Absolutely, the NRL is far ahead of the AFL in this area.
They’re not. They are just as bad as each other.

They don’t have the time to count that. That is unworkable.

More than 2m.
The footprint display of Cathy Freeman at the Olympic park in Sydney…huge leaps in distance.

There was nothing wrong with the umpiring on this.
There has always been leeway given when it is a yard or two over.
HR, name how many other examples that match Rankine’s 24 metres that went unpunished?

The lack of Thursday night footy is obvious.
AFL knows it rates well, but the TV contract is locked in…they aren’t giving Channel 7 the bonus of a high rating high revenue drawing game for them on a relatively cheap TV deal.

Have you been to Riyadh?
Gypsy King dethroned: Usyk takes down Fury in epic fight to become undisputed champion, create 24-year first
Again, focused solely on Australia.
How about looking at his whole record?
England need rejig with Ashes on horizon so now is right time for Anderson to retire one of the greatest of all time
Detest how the boxing is now in being played out in that place.
Because las Vegas is the centre of all things fair and moral?

But the evidence also shows that he could have done that without costing 4th.
Making it to the CL is part of any good recruitment strategy. Being able to offer CL matches is how you attract the people you need.
He bombed it, and he’s only made it harder next season.
Losing 4 in a row was a killer to the season
Ange Postecoglou's civil war with Tottenham fans masks an inconvenient truth about his own failures
Who is turning on Ange?
No one is turning on him, these are just legitimate questions for a team that, frankly, shouldn’t have ended up fifth.
They had two inexplicably bad runs of form. 4 losses in a row through April and early May cost them that 4th CL spot.

Tough day for you having to dismount that high horse after a few dodgy drug tests in the AFL.

Crisp.

Braith the journalist?
Who’s that?

It isn’t though.
It’s called being polite and constructive.

Good point.

And it’s only Graham Arnold’s fault because of Julia Gillard’s Carbon Tax…
Logic says ho-hum Victory can't beat the Phoenix and 34,000 hyped-up Kiwis - but it doesn't matter in the slightest
Despite WA having a proportionally higher rate of Aussie rules players at all levels.
Good effort mate.

You literally just said it was an AFL mafia call, and now you are saying it’s a resource call and there isn’t a rectangular stadium big enough.
Not sure the AFL have much sway over rectangular stadiums.
All over the shop, mate.

Don’t underestimate the power of the AFL in paying off various sections of the NZ media and NZ govt to keep the Phoenix crowds down…

Nah, it’s just prudent to do it.
Lots of clubs will massage a player to 100 games. Sav Rocca stuck around with NM (or rather NM kept him around) to get 100 games.
Imagine if in 10 years his kid is a top 5 pick and you failed to do the necessary due diligence now?
Season is over. Time to till the soil
