Australia’s 3-2 defeat of Syria in their final group game in the AFC Cup had resonance beyond the scoreline and the official booking of the Socceroos into the next round.
Last week was ‘purge’ week. That nadir of the year when you collect all of the old paper you’ve accumulated – bills, adverts, statements, letters – and burn the outdated rubbish in a steel bin.
Moneyball was a movie based on the Oakland Athletics’ Major League Baseball team’s success in building a team of undervalued talent through purely statistical and analytical measures.
The 2018-19 season ended for the Tennessee Titans as so many have before; prematurely, without a playoff berth to look forward to, and endless questions lurking on the horizon.
Adam Gilchrist’s career was always about being fearless.
For the rest of Mitchell Johnson’s life, the defining moment of his career will, of course, be the 2013-14 Ashes, with the early 2014 tour to South Africa to follow.

There are three minutes left in the grand final. Collingwood have been hanging on for dear life for an hour now, but a ticking clock has tightened their grip on the premiership.
By now Cooper Cronk’s grand final heroics are etched in rugby league folklore. His act – playing with a broken scapula – puts him alongside Sam Burgess’ broken cheekbone and John Sattler’s shattered jaw in the ranks of courageous fools who played through injuries in big games.
So here we are at the final game of the season. I’m not feeling a lot of love for either of these sides out there. However, both are very deserving participants.
Okay, so the All Blacks have just lost at home.
Okay, so this article isn’t related to the trials and tribulations of any given day in the AFL.
Give me four years to teach the children, and the seeds I have sown shall never be uprooted.

Few sports operate in such subjective spheres as cricket.
All the talk about football this year has focussed on what’s wrong. A lot is right, a fact which was confirmed in a weekend of upsets and ladder-shattering results.
So the Socceroos saved their worst until last and another FIFA World Cup campaign ends with more questions than answers.
