All Things Sport...

All Things Sport...

There are many threads dedicated to sharing experiences - good times and not so good - so I thought I would start a thread for those on here who love their sport. For me - and I suspect for some others - sport is a good distraction as it often blocks out the more negative emotions and helps to avoid triggers that many other things in 'life' so often seem to do.

This thread can also be a place where like-minded (and not so like-minded people @utopia @Former-Member @Zoe7 lol) can 'discuss/debate' their respective competitions in their preferred sport(s).

For those that are definitely NOT into sport @Phoenix_Rising for example - avoid this thread at all costs - whoops just tagged you in..........hahaha!!!!!

Re: All Things Sport...

@Bill16 I follow both soccer (football) and rugby league. My favourite team in the A League is Brisbane Roar and in the EPL I follow Liverpool FC. My fav rugby league teams are NQ Cowboys (despite them almost getting the wooden spoon this year) and Brisbane Broncos.

For some reason I never really got into AFL. I guess because I don't know the rules.

Re: All Things Sport...

That is AFL then @Shaz51 Melbourne vs West Coast - I am about to watch that too. Whoever wins today I hope wins the grandfinal next week.

Re: All Things Sport...

I am Liverpool also @Queenie - nice to meet a fellow fan

I don't have a team I am passionate about in the A-League but Wellington Phoenix I kind of follow. Parramatta is my league team - so neither of us did much this past season. AFL is my favourite sport but watch my team play in soccer and league each week.

Hi @Zoe7 @Bill16 @Shaz51@Queenie@MDT

And everyone here that loves sports!

I'm an AFL girl- I love the Brisbane Lions and was an old Fitzroy girl back in the day- and I love NRL as well - Melbourne Storm girl but initially was a Sydney City Rooster girl before they came along! I've been to several games if both sports but I have to say I now prefer the excitement of NRL over AFL compared to when I was little. Billy Slater and Cam Smith are my favourite players for the Storm so I was very happy for the boys last night to make it to the big 1😊! I'm nervous about Billy though and don't think he'll play in the Grand Final due to the shoulder charge. As for the Lions, I'm still a believer and know they'll get back to the days of 2001-2003 when they beat Essendon then Collingwood twice after that in the big 1. Until then, I'm cheering on the Eagles to win next week! As for other sports, I like watching the tennis and I'm a fan of the 20/20 cricket, as well as swimming and the gymnastics and ice skating when they're on TV.

@Judi9877 I'm a Lions girl through and through - the same as you I was Fitzroy before Brisbane. Our last game in Melbourne was against Richmond and I will never forget them all staying on the field when two wreaths were layed in the centre square - I was at that game! I think we have a good future with a good team developing. We do need another couple of players though - definitely a strong, athletic midfielder and another backman as Hodge is getting slow and only has one year left in the playing side of things. It will good to have Cameron back in the forward line next year.

Re: All Things Sport...

Hi there @Judi9877, I hope it won't be a sorry case Billy Slater over the shoulder charge. He faces the judiciary over it as a grade 1 shoulder charge. It would be awful for him to miss his final grand final day due to the charge. Hopefully history can repeat itself with Justin Hodges of the Broncos... he was looking like missing his final game but under public pressure the judiciary relented and let him off. I'm going to cheer for the Melbourne Storm anyway! Should be a great game!
