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...

The cricket result was disappointing @Former-Member @Ali11 @MDT but not surprising after their poor performance batting.

I like Geelong as well @Ali11 @MDT Very much appreciate their game style and how they have been able to continue to be a great team over a long time. Great team and club management over many years now

I will have everything crossed this weekend for my boys @Ali11 but playing Port at their home ground is a tough ask. We don't have a great record on the road but I suppose anything is possible hey!

@Sherry @Zoe7 @Hamsolo01 Ah well, shame about the cricket. Is there another big sport event you are looking forward to next?

Thanks for being kind @Zoe7 @Hamsolo01 . The mention of Geelong's club management reminds me of the recent discussion about the Western Bulldogs having turned the club around from dire times. Remembering where a team comes from, and the bond of supporters, is so important for future opportunities and growth. What do you think?

Re: All Things Sport...

I have been through the demise of a club with Fitzroy in 1996 @Ali11 so very much know about club management - or lack of. Happily went to the new Lions with the merger with Brisbane after knowing we would not lose our identity completely. Have been many years of rather dismal club management with Brisbane also but it seems like both the management and culture at the club is on the right track again.

AFL and NRL this weekend. Not really interested in the tennis so much now that all our Australians are out.

@Former-Member I have the West Coast and Collingwood game on tonight - of course I am going for WC. It is a close game at quarter time. Your Swannies should win tomorrow but that really doesn't seem at all important right now.

Re: All Things Sport...

True @Zoe7

I too am watching the afl, and going for west coast. Trying to fill in time and distract thoughts as I await the anticipated call. I told my brother to call or text no matter what time it is. Likelihood is that I will be awake anyway.
