Round 11 WNBL Preview
00 0

It’s the last round of the WNBL before Christmas and all teams are looking to get into the festive spirit and chalk up a win or 2 to send their fans home happy for the Christmas/New Year break. Yet again it’s one of these rounds with a Wednesday night game which frustrate me so much but hey, looking at these matches, a lot of them have the potential to go either way.   Wednesday night: AIS vs Canberra @ AIS Training Hall This is the second meeting between the two teams with the first one...

Round 10 WNBL Review
53 126

Another extraordinary round has just been concluded and again we’re looking to answer some questions. Are we looking at the possibility of an Adelaide vs Sydney Grand Final? Are Dandenong the team travelling under the radar the most? Will Bendigo even survive the season (more on this later)?  Bendigo vs Bulleen 25 points from Rachel Jarry has helped Bulleen overcome a brave Kristi Harrower inspired Bendigo by 8 points in a Wednesday night thriller at Bendigo Stadium. After leading 19-...

Round 10 WNBL Preview
10 106

This week is a special preview with it appearing a couple of days earlier than usual. This is due to the frustrating occurrence of a Wednesday night game this week and while I could just ignore the game and preview as normal, it would be very unprofessional. We have a Victorian derby and some massive matches which will directly impact on the battle for the top 5 and the big match of the round is 3rd vs 5th (more on that later)  Wednesday night: Bendigo vs Bulleen @ Bendigo Stadium ...

Round 4 WNBL Review
32 667

Well this round certainly had it all. Overtime thrillers, big upsets and the mendatory thrashing or 2.Canberra 93 defeated Adelaide 76Friday night kicked off in the nations capital as Caberra played Adelaide in what the ladder indicated would be a one-sided game. It wasn't the a game where one big burst decided the game but more a consistent 4 quarter performance. To Adelaide's credit, they did try to match it with the Caps but with Carrie Graf coaching her 300th game for the Capitals, Canberra...

Time to go Ernie Merrick
64 644

We’re 6 seasons into the Hyundai A-League and there’s only one club with their foundation coach left. I’m of course talking about the Melbourne Victory who has managed to keep Ernie Merrick the whole 6 seasons. People would say that this ensures stability at the club (which it does) but it could also lead to the club becoming staleErnie has had a marvelous record at the Victory winning 2 premierships and 1 runners up (top of the league) and 2 championships with 1 runners up (finals series...

The Ultimate 2011 Fremantle Preview
31 598

2010 was an extraordinary season for Freo where we made the semi-finals against all odds considering people had Mark Harvey sacked and Freo to finish near the bottom. As a result, expectations have been well and truly ramped up for the 2011 season.Unfortunately, it’s been a pretty tumultuous off-season which saw an entire supporter base divided following the controversial re-branding of the club; replacing the much loved anchor with chevrons and the redoing of the logo (my views on this are...

Problems in Australian Cricket and possible solutions
44 478

So we’ve just lost a one-day series to Sri Lanka 2-1 and had our only win come in the dead rubber up at the Gabba. It is a very low point in Australian Cricket and there are a good many questions that need to be asked and answered. There have been also a good many suggestions and I think it’s time that we looked at all the issues and saw some changes made, not only to the playing roster, but also behind the scenes. I will highlight a number of these issues/questions and try to provide...

Trying to understand the Match Review Panel
01 416

Australian Rules Football has many things to love but also some things that just frustrate the hell out of you. I guess this could be said about any sport though. My pet hate, along with the vast majority at this moment in time, is the bewildering decisions that come out of the AFL's Match Review Panel (MRP). The AFL has a panel that is responsible for reviewing all matches in case of any incidents missed by umpires. Now, while having the opportunity to watch 8 games every weekend would be a...
