Is it just me or does it appear to anyone else that the cycling sporting world is just rotten to the core.

Mr. Rogers says he is innocent Yeah right!

They all say that.

I just don't watch, read or follow in any way the sport any more.

Give me something clean like AFL!

    TBH I alway thought there was something wrong with Cycling and how it was Managed.

    There was a young guy from where I live who was in the Australian 4 x pursuit Olympic team. He rode in the race to get into the gold metal race and the team smashed the world record to get there. But he was replaced so another rider could race for the Gold Metal instead.

    Nothing wrong with that - it's a legitimate way in which relay teams in many sports (including athletics) are managed.

    Not sure you on a winner with that comment WJ.

    The Guy they replaced him with was not in the team at the time and it was wide reported that Cycling Manager only made the change to give him a gold medal. Which resulted in a person who was on the team being droped from the "Grand Final" for no good reason, as he was a world record breaking riderat the time and noone could seriously expect him too do more than that.

    With Management decisions like that and I could have used a few more examples similar to this one, means selection is based on subjective decisions making processes. As a result the Sport would not always select the best athlete for the various teams and I would assume a lot of government funding has be given to the sport over the years.

    Talking only in general terms and don't know the circumstances of your case but what was done is permitted under the rules in many sports. If the selectors used the rule to do something dodgy, that's another matter altogether.

    It was a few years ago WJ but it remeber most of what when on because the kid involved was from my home town and the LG I was working for at the time gave in a few donations.

    Then they replayed him in the gold metal race with a rider who was a street racer and not a specialist track racer and the race was on a track, IMO that was dodgy.

    "Property of the Hells Angels"is one I have witnessed first hand.

    I had that experience once in my youth.

    I borrowed the property and promptly returned it back .

    No harm done.

    To me-thankfully .

    Beautiful Town, but the nanas are very slow growing there.

    Some good footy players around Glenorchy, Dodges Ferry.

    My namesake himself hails from there, and played Shield Cricket for Tas!

    Scallops,Oysters, Pinot, Reisling! Enjoy the worlds best food.

    There must be some serious negotiations going on for line honours if they have flown you down RL.

    Good luck with the Yachty types-punch one in the rugby jumper for me.

    Was down there 2 yrs ago for a holiday. I remember getting cherries on Bruny Island that were so big and juicy it was hard to believe they were cherries. Great cheeses on Bruny Is as well.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
