Oscar has been pushed to #2 driver and would do best to go elsewhere. There is 1 huge problem though......where could he go that is an improvement?
That is a problem for him, but he certainly can't win while remaining there unless Norris suffers some unforeseen fate, and as long as Brown keeps getting uber "performance" bonusses the Norris favouritism is assured.
Oscar and his manager Weber are biding their time and will wait for the right opportunity. No point jumping for the sake of it unless Oscar’ opportunity to compete are improved.

2.4 to 5.6 at half time in our favour.

Big test this week as its 6 vs 7 (albeit last game of the round)
Winner to go =3rd on the ladder with % important as its the difference between 3rd and 6th!.

Looking good so far. But not out of trouble though

The Sports Desk / Hahn Australia cup final

I know that soccer isnt a sport much for the average afl fan, but I was in attendance last night to witness history as South Melbourne (Hellas as they were known) became the first non A league club to lift this trophy vs Melbourne victory.  Adam Cerra was in attendance not far from me last night.  This historic win gains them entry to the Asian Champions League for next season.

Did it front of an Aami park record crowd of 29800 odd people. 

Absolutely ridiculous scenes.  Would be like Port Melbourne in the vfl, jumping up against a Geelong and knocking them off in a do or die match.  Was a very even contest too, with victory going close to getting the winner on numerous occasions.   I pick geelong as theyve been a top performing club at AFL level for so long. 

Sure it was penalties at the end, and it was a 1-1 draw after extra time, with Victory having scored the first of those goals in the 1st half of extra time, and South going close to scoring on a couple of occasions, but it was an unforgettable occasion for a fan base and club, that has beem somewhat frozen out of the sport at the highest level for 22 years. 

Unforgettable.

Shows you how much lando has been favoured when he thinks that type of move is ok for a mere 1 point improvement for him in a championship he is not in.

Zac Brown made his bed, now he can lie in it. If he is happy being the CEO of Company that is run by one of his drivers and said driver's dad, good luck to the sack of crap.
If he'd done the right thing Lando's dad would have had him sacked, instead they paid him an $80M bonus, more than either driver, but of course Lando never has and never will need the money!

That's why Oscar cannot win, it's not about the team being the best, it's about Lando having an advantage.

btw. The Sky crew talk about Piastri like he's a novice, and they talk about Norris and Russell like they are veterans, but before the final few races of last season Oscar had more F1 wins than either of the Brits, he still has more wins than Russell!
