All Things Sport...

I hope the aussie wins tooo @MDT, @Former-Member

@Shaz51 I was pleased to see Parra finally win a game

@Former-Member I was hoping we could beat Essendon today but we din;t play well enough - still a long way to go for my baby Lions

Yes @Zoe7 I was hopeful for the Bris Lions today too. Unfortunately it wasnt to be for the lion cubs. 🐆

Jeff Horn lost his boxing bout too, and his world title in the process. From what I saw on highlights he was good in the early rounds, but lacked the class and stamina of the other guy. I am really against the principals of boxing. Which is to attack the weakness of the other guy and to lay into the opponent when they're down. But I also appreciate the talent, required discipline and fitness of them as athletes.

I understand too that it takes a lot of skill and discipline to be a boxer but I am totally against any 'sport' that includes violence of any form @Former-Member - even with gloves - one punch can do damage!

Yes @Zoe7 that is all too true. I guess all contact sports have risks, but boxing concentrates specifically on the head. Where as most other sports run the risk of accidental head contact.

Boxing can be very brutal.

Totally agree @Former-Member

I am looking forwrd to the Melbourne-Collingwood game tomorrow - it should be a really good game - both teams are playing well. I'll be going for Melbourne

Yes @Zoe7 I will also be going for Melbourne.

It was good to see Hayne back and finally get a win @NikNik ...we are still on the bottom of the ladder though Your guys aren't travelling well either - neither of us have much to look forward to this season

NSW deserved the win - they played well... on to Game 2 now
