Across his 99 Test matches for England, Joe Root has achieved a plethora of different accomplishments.
Matt Renshaw has fallen out favour as an Australian Test opener just as quickly as he won our hearts back in his first summer in 2016-17.
Since Richmond hoisted the 2020 premiership cup and henceforth labelled itself as one of the great modern day dynasties, the discussion of which team has had the greatest dynasty since 2000 has risen.
Every footy fan sits down at the start of the season and ponders what their beloved team is going to bring to the table. Regardless of the ultimate result, there is always something you learn about your team.
The 2004 grand final saw a running Byron Pickett lead Port Adelaide to its maiden premiership on his way to winning the Norm Smith medal.
On a historic day, Simon Black was crowned the 2003 Norm Smith Medallist, as the Brisbane Lions won the first three-peat since Melbourne in the 1950s.
At the time, it was labelled ‘the champion against the challenger’, as a fierce young Brisbane group took on the champions of Essendon in the 2001 AFL grand final.
In 2002, Nathan Buckley became the third player to win a Norm Smith Medal in a losing grand final, as he single handily kept his young Collingwood side in the match for four quarters against the rampant Brisbane Lions.
On Saturday 4 September 2000, the 96,249 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground witnessed James Hird become the second player to secure the triple: a Brownlow, a premiership and a Norm Smith Medal.Â
Geelong’s next 50-goal forward is right underneath their nose.
Saturday afternoon football moves to Townsville as the Gold Coast Suns play host to the St Kilda Saints in a Round 13 clash that has more in it than it may have seemed at the beginning of the year. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 1:45 (AEST).
Bangladesh and New Zealand will both attempt to continue their strong starts to the Cricket World Cup when they go head to head at The Oval. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog from 10:30pm (AEST).
Match result: Record-breaking Bangladesh condemned South Africa to a second World Cup defeat in four days, subduing the lackustre Proteas by 21 runs at The Oval.
The Brisbane Lions and the Adelaide Crows at the Gabba is an early season heavyweight bout between two rising sides. Traditionally, three teams come in and out of the eight at the end of the season, and with both the Crows and Lions hoping to rise into finals this year, early wins against fellow quality […]
Melbourne Demons will travel to Metricon Stadium to take on the Gold Coast Suns in attempt to secure their first consecutive wins of the season. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 4:35pm AEST.
On paper West Coast versus Gold Coast at Optus Stadium threatens as a massacre, but in the context of the season it is a serious danger game for the Eagles. The Suns have nothing to lose while the Eagles have a premiership defence in jeopardy if they drop another game at their fortress and three […]
The battle of the bridge between Sydney and Greater Western Sydney is always a spectacle to tune into. This time at the SCG, the Swans will be in desperate need of a victory to keep their season alive, while the Giants need to bounce back from an upset last week to reinstate their maiden premiership […]
Already at Round 5 the stakes are high and Richmond versus Sydney at Marvel Stadium is no exception. A loss for the Swans could prove costly in the context of their season and each win for the Tigers while their bookends are absent is crucial to stay in touch with the top four. Join The […]
He will have to dig deep into that bag of tricks to find wickets on this lifeless pitch! Good opportunity for him to demonstrate what he is capable of.
The new Pakistani quick who could roll Australia
Dylan Roberton not a star has to be a joke? Made the 2017 all Australian squad in 2017 with the 3rd most kicks and rebound 50s in the competition. Averaged 23 disposals; if it wasn’t for a horrifically unfortunate injury in 2018, the Saints season could have been very different.
