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...

Evening everyone!!!!

I don't think we have met before @Former-Member so hello to you fellow sports lover.......

Great to hear you are a cricket lover too.............and yes my fav of all the formats is test cricket, like you a traditionalist before anything else lol.

Do you have any fav players playing or retired???

I have just gotten home from watching Billy Connolly at the thearte (not live pre recorded lol). so sadly I missed the first WBBL so I have no idea who won. but I gather from your message that the sixers won???? How did Healy go, did she get any runs????? She can play that is for sure.........................

I go for the Renegades as my fav colour is red lol. Not that I live in Melbourne or Victoria for that matter lol.

I am happy with the AFL trade period as Eddie Betts has come home to where he belongs!!!!! mind you he should not have left Carlton in the first place lol!!!!!

Re: All Things Sport...

Unfortunately I agree with you both about the Wallabies chances of beating England tomorrow @Zoe7 @MDT . But I will be watching anyway. And you just never know.

Yes you ste so right about the nrl gf @Zoe7 . Annoys me every time I think about it. Gotta remember the Roosters first try was also scored in dodgy circumstances. Due to a Roosters trainer on the field and getting in the way and causing a turnover to Roosters. Just when Raiders would otherwise have scored unopposed. Weird rule that one. Fact is .. the Roosters trainer should not have been there getting involved in the play. Rule needs looking at.

Yes I think Taylor should do well at Swans .. A good player, despite a lack of opportunity this year. I agree with you about Hodge .. definitely a loss. Need an experienced head with an otherwise young inexperienced player group. But .. They are a year older now, with finals ecperience. Definitely contenders next year.

Okay bed time. Night ..

Hey @Scarecrowe You have Eddie back ...yea

In response to: Re: All Things Sport...

Re: All Things Sport...

Ah .. Hi @Scarecrowe 👋

Gee, I have lots of favourite players. Oldies .. Lillee, Dougie (Walters). More recently retired .. Gilchrist, Bevan, McGrath, Phil Hughes (😞), Clarke. Current players ... Smith, Starc. I have been to 2 days of an Ashes test at the MCG way back in .. umm .. maybe 2005? That was great. Also been to an AFL game between Swans and Essendon at the MCG. Fantastic sporting ground. I've also been to a few ODIs at the SCG. And I have autographs from my hero Dougie Walters and also Lennie Pascoe ... remember him?

Yes Syd 6s won tonight in the WBBL. Perry top scored with 81, but Healy was next best with 42 off 32. Healy is one of my fav womens players. And she seems like a really nice person too. Terrific player too, in all forms of cricket. Very efficient gloveman too.

Did you enjoy the Billy Connelly show? Glad you got Eddie Betts back ... should have another good year or two left in him.

Okay I must go .. an early start tomorrow.

Re: All Things Sport...

Oh @Zoe7 yes we have Eddie back lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have no idea how pleased I am about that.............I was a bit worried as it looked like it might not happen and when I found out he had signed I screamed the roof off the place (which is no mean feat as I live in a 2 storey unit lol).

In response to: Re: All Things Sport...

Re: All Things Sport...

haha @Scarecrowe I knew you would be pleased 👍 He should give an extra spark to your forward line and hopefully be a positive influence on some of your younger players. Players like Eddie bring others into the game with their enthusiasm and positivity and that certainly has been something you have needed.
