Eli Katoa playing for Tonga v New Zealand  was knocked out badly in the warmup, then unbelievably was sent out to play and suffered a further 2 head knocks. Required oxygen and was taken to hospital.

If we win week 1 we are going to Brisbane. No way Brisbane is getting close to North. No one is getting close.

Just looked at North's final percentage. Friggen 321.5 %!
Actually, we play West Coast again next week but this time in Melbourne. I forgot the Lions still had to play today.

Should win and play Hawthorn week 2, as they won't be beating North. Two last round games that will repeat 1st week of finals.

A work associate went to the Hawks / Norp game Friday night, he tells me he was astounded by the support for Norp, almost more than he has seen at some of the AFL team's games. He said for a Dawks home game the Norp fans probably outnumbered them 3 to 1.

 No surprise then they are doing so well.

I suppose for Norp they must look pretty good if they are pulling crowds that are a comparable fraction of the men.

39 Irish women playing in the AFLW this season.

Perhaps the AFL could wind up Gold Coast and bring in an Irish team 🤔

Who has the most tennis singles grand slam wins?
Most people will tell you it's djokovic with 24.
However margaret court also had 24.
Did that not count because its a different competition?
You can do similar with golf etc





what's the world record for the 100 metres dash?

Do women's have a seperate world record?

You can say what you have said, and its correct, but im sure that we wouldnt cross code those streaks if other sports yielded a team with this record.

It actually loses credibility to attempt to do so.

All i'm saying is facts are facts.
You can give it as much, or as little, credibility as you want as that is your right.

I do a bit of trivia nights and they like throwing a 'curveball' sports question in there from time to time.

Its usually something like...
Which Australian tennis player had the highest singles ranking in the world during the year.....XXXX

On numerous occassions, the answer is a woman - eg Sam Stosur.

Nobody is suggesting Sam Stosur is better than any male tennis players over the same time, but facts are facts.
