Aussie Sports Thread - NRL, AFL or A League

That AFL ladder keeps getting tighter at the top. 4 points between the top 6 right now. Still have some teams to play this weekend but it’s a great finish to the season.

Yeah it’s been an incredible season so far. The Hawks Collingwood match was an eye opener.

Glad to see Manly almost certainly out of the finals now with needing to win all their remaining games. Canberra are a funny side. Top of the ladder , I like them & Ricky but I don’t see them winning the comp unless they improve significantly.

Who you reckon can win it ? Storm or possibly Panthers for me, can't see Wahs, Bulldogs or Raiders getting there .. no-one else is in it are they ?

It’s only preseason but the roar are looking decent and winning games. Lots of new signings that look good and having an impact and I don’t know how I missed it but they’ve signed Dean Bouzanis.

I agree it’s between Storm or Panthers & the dark horse could be the Roosters. They completely blew the Dolphins away today in QLD.

I’ve not seen any of the PS matches so far but glad to see the Roar being competitive even if it’s just PS.

Melbourne Storm cheated their way to a win over the Panthers last night , shock horror. Harry Grant hooks his arm around the player who’s standing still while trying to charge down a drop goal attempt & throws himself on the floor & gets awarded a penalty. The officials really are corrupt.

I’m stunned a club like the Storm would look for any means necessarily to bend to rules to win. Not like them at all. They’d never pay players off the books or invent new tackling techniques. Bellamy is as honest as they come.

Hahaha yeah I’m not sure what I was thinking

There was an earthquake in QLD?

Yeah 5.2 around the Sunshine Coast. Felt nothing here

Even though they missed the finals are you happy with how the Suns are going SB?

What a mess from the AFL with Rankine and the crows.

We’ve got a midweek catch up match vs Essendon on Wednesday so it’s not over yet. 7th & 8th play each other tomorrow so we can overtake the loser of that if we win our match I believe.

[peterbread]

Ahh yeah I forgot about that. And you really should be beating Essendon.

Yeah we definitely should be winning that. We’ve never won at Adelaide Oval before so that on top of their Coach Ken Hinckley’s last game plus Travis Boak retiring too made it difficult. Hopefully Essendon are on the beach holidays already.

I missed the news that the Titans have given the job to Hannay. He’s got a very good reputation as an assistant. Do you think he’ll be able to get them going or is it more the way the club is run SB?
