RIP Marco Simoncelli
00 119
It was a huge weekend in sport again this week, punctuated by a wide range of emotions. On one hand there was the pure joy and passion of New Zealand finally securing their mantle as the World’s Best Rugby Nation. On the other side of the spectrum, the Motorsport world mourned the death of a bright young talent, Marco Simoncelli.Marco Simoncelli was an up and coming rider in Moto GP, fresh from finishing Second to Casey Stoner in the Australian Grand Prix. He was up near the...
A Bout In Manchester Worth Watching
00 85
An intriguing battle was fought this weekend, the results of which provided a statement no one expected. This heavyweight fight was in Manchester. In the blue corner was Manchester City, and in the red corner was the reigning Title holder, Manchester United. These two bitter rivals now together compose one of the biggest match-ups in the English Premier League, extending far beyond their existing local derby rivalry. Manchester United’s “noisy neighbours” can now match...
Where Will Fevola Land?
60 294
It is trade week in the AFL, and while most of the action is simply talking at the moment, we can expect a flurry of deals to occur over the next 72 hours. There are many rumours darting in all directions, and one of these raised yesterday centred around Brendan Fevola.It was announced by Fevola’s management that a Melbourne based club had made inquiries about how the troubled star was travelling. The inquiries were made by a List Manager, rather than a coach, and he then took that information...
Australian Basketball's Rebirth
110 861
An amazing thing happened in sport this week, and it revolved around passion, not money. No, we are not talking about AFL and Ross Lyon or Tom Scully, nor are we talking about Harry Kewell. The names we need to pin on the board today are Patty Mills and Andrew Bogut.As the NBA season continues to show no signs of breaking free of being locked out, the by-product of this situation has been the NBL getting a lick of paint. NBA players are looking for other leagues to play in whilst the NBA men in...
Is Tom Scully's Betrayal Really A Bad Thing?
40 272
Kevin Sheedy has done it again.Tom Scully signed up with Greater Western Sydney Giants, turning his back on the besieged Melbourne Demons for the promise of bigger meals for his wallet. It had been rumoured for weeks that Scully would head to Sydney, and now the decision has sparked a steady stream of shock, horror and self-rhetorical questions from Demons supporters, but why?Melbourne supporters need to get a grip. AFL Football is a tough game, in which one's career can end at any moment. A...
A New Melbourne War Ignites

Australia’s Premier competition of Football begins this week, and it promises to be an exciting season ahead, particularly in Melbourne. As the A-League continues to expand, it now features the all important ‘state civil-war’. Building on the Brisbane verse Gold Coast rivalry, we now have our own home grown grudge match, Victory verse Heart! Melbourne will certainly benefit from a bit of healthy rivalry. Previously we looked to Adelaide and Sydney for our serve of spiteful chanting....
Britain - Success Starved and Suffering
00 1,282
He is Scottish again. Andy Murray has again strung a few good games, and with each win, England has not only claimed him as British, but turned the screws of pressure on the poor boy. The pressure has become too much of course, and Andy Murray has fallen over at the last hurdle. Return to sender. Good bye. Your not fit to represent Britain. He's Scottish! This is no fault of Andy Murray. He is a proud Scotsman. At the 2006 World Cup, when asked who...

Happy Hawks No More
10 770
This season has been a farce. Hawthorn has been, quite simply, terrible. The Hawks have suffered from a split personality disorder since their Premiership triumph. One week they dazzle, the next they drizzle. The list is there, the talent unquestionable. Arguments need to be raised of the personnel higher up the chain.Coaches get a very good run in the AFL. Most will get at least two years immunity before the president turns the pressure dial up a notch...
The Decision
00 710
One of the most talked about topics in sport has finally found a conclusion. LeBron James has made his decision. He has set up his future. He has selected his new team. Meet LeBron James, of the Miami Heat.Cleveland is in mourning. They have lost their favourite son, and in a despicable manner at that. The ego of LeBron James is so big, he thought it necessary to have a one hour television show The Decision, to announce his 15 second decision. Like...
