Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2025 Rd 9: Carlton vs Sydney at Henson Park
Last post by DJC -pound is a bit stiff i thought.
Yes, Gab would have been one of the first selected throughout her career and she didn’t do much wrong last game.
Amelia Velardo has been outstanding all season and her ability to play on tall opponents gives her an edge over Pound.
Bad luck for Gab but promising signs when a player of her ability and commitment is forced out of the team.

Last post by DJC -I hope they’re all fit and good to go. If so, there will be some unlucky players who will miss out, but that’s how it should be!

Last post by DJC -If you had not yet settled on accepting a complete and utter lack of morality, accountability and integrity from the modern professional news media, then know this, Karoline Leavitt has now been employed by News Ltd!
Leavitt is a perfect fit for MAGA’s state media 🙄

The Sports Desk / Re: NRL / Origin
Last post by LP -I'm bit over the NRL Sydney centric focus, Knights are a NSW club too, but the broadcast commentary was still heavily biased towards the Roosters.
The Roosters are in situation a bit like the Swans were before they flew the coop for NSW, they are an old world club but with a relatively small supporter base, fading at the grass roots level, and remaining heavily reliant on a handful of big dollar benefactors.
News Ltd tried it's best to pump up the pre-game, they have flogged the Jai Arrow thing to the limit, sad for the lad I feel for him, it felt like they want to make him the NRL version of Daniher. But despite that the event was soulless, the performers looked to be just going through the motions, the sound system was ordinary and crowd just weren't engaged, it was all a bit too forced, probably a sign of the last minute arrangements. It won't be missed by performers that after the controversy a month or so back the NRL took a cheap shot at Tones and I by using the Dance Monkey track after the first score.
