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!!!!!

Yes I saw that the Eels had a win. My brother in law will be thrilled.

Yeah a good sporting night for me too, as the Raiders also had a win against the Cowboys.

@Former-Member My boys had a shocker today and we have Collingwood next week - not at all hopeful that we can add to our wins after today's effort. I know we don't tend to play well in Melbourne - especially the MCG but half of them looked like they were still on the plane lol

@Former-Member I just realised parra play your Raiders tomorrow night - that should be a cracker of a game but think your guys will do it in a close one.

Re: All Things Sport...

Hi @Zoe7 Yes I saw some of the Lions match and they were outplayed, beaten by a better team on the day.

Unfortunately the Swans were also outplayed on Thursday night by Melbourne. Its a pretty tight leaderboard, as the only 2 unbeaten teams coming into this 4th round (Lions and Geelong) were both beaten this round. And one of the teams without a win (Melbourne) won. Damn it ... at the expense of Swannies.

And yes, I had noticed that my Raiders play your Eels tomorrow from 6.10pm. Hoping its a good game. They are currently equal on the ladder, within the top 8. Hoping its a good game. I will try to watch it.

My ACT Brumbies are currently playing agains Lions in the Super Rugby. Look like they should win, barring any late collapse of form.

Re: All Things Sport...

What we can be assured of is that one of us will get a win this week be it your Raiders or my Eels @Former-Member I am definitely leaning towards your team so it might be a dismal weekend for me lol

We play Collingwood next week - who do you play?

Re: All Things Sport...

Ha ha, yeah I guess @Zoe7 . Although it could still be a draw after extra time I believe, if no golden points are scored in the additional time. Not sure if that has happened yet, but it could.

Swans play Richmond on Saturday night. In other words the matches are not getting any easier. There really are no easy matches these days, which is actually a great place to be for the competition. And its great that many of the bottom teams from the past few years are currently near the top of the ladder. Lions a case in point. I hope your Lions can overcome the Magpies next week. They are not my favourite team, possibly because I have not time at all for their President, Eddie McGuire. Or perhaps I'm just showing my team bias here? 🤣 Eddie has been so critical of the Swans over the years.

Okay so my Super Rugby team, ACT Brumbies, won 31/20 as full time siren just sounded. So there's my win for the weekend!

Re: All Things Sport...

Not a fan of Collingwood or Eddie either @Former-Member He also had a lot to say about Brisbane over the years - not impressed

Richmond showed today that they are going to be hard to beat by anyone - I watched some of that game and they held on well in the end.

Well done to your ACT Brumbies
