Well done Brendan Smith on getting our first medal of the games with Bronze in the 400IM.

Finished like a freight train again, however unfortunately gave up just a bit too much of a lead.

The lack of publicity and recognition for our Paralympians is really sad to me.  I was shocked to learn we give our athletes $20,000 prize money for winning gold but our Paralympians get $0. What a

He'll be better equipped in 3 years time TD ... out of contention for gold once they hit the breaststroke leg but as you said, flew home

Rated 50th in the world 12 months ago so it's a meteoric rise.  Needed the experience but that's ok

A bronze medal is something to be proud of!

Seeing we're on a new page ...

Jack McLoughlin just misses out on our first gold but swims a great race to grab a silver medal. Amazing swim from the Tunisian out in lane 8 for gold!

Elijah was disappointing and Mack Horton looking on might have fancied his chances

Still, we weren't the raging favourite to take out the event so Jack taking out the silver is a mighty effort

Not sure we are going to have it all our way in the 4 x 100m freestlyle relay (womens) ... should win but we've got some tough opposition who may not have shown their hand

Gold for Australia! Our womens 4x100m Freestyle relay team become the first team to break 3 minutes 30 seconds, smashing their own world record! Giving us the full set of medals on our first day in the pool.

Meanwhile well done to the Hockeyroos with with a 3-1 victory first up against Spain. And our Softballers and Ash Barty are currently locked in some tight matches.

Our Softballers have lost a heart breaker to the USA 2-1 in extra innings. A mighty effort given their heavy defeat yesterday to Canada.

Simple scenario for them now. Win their next match against Mexico and a bronze medal is still there for the taking.

Clancy & Del Solar get a first up win over Cuba in the women's beach volleyball 21-15, 21-14. Made to work for it at times, but overall just too much class.

And in other news in a massive shock, Ash Barty has been knocked out of the singles in straight sets in the first round!

I watched a reasonable amount of Ash's match and she wasn't on her game today

So the surprises can work both ways as I had Ash as at least making the semi's ... but the Hockeyroos are off to a great start and our rowers are well placed.  Beach Volleyball as well but the softballers had a close loss

There are going to be some ups and downs ... bit of a rollercoaster really

James Duckworth has managed to get through to the 2nd round in the tennis with a hard fought 3 set win. Good to see him continue the solid form from a few weeks  ago that saw him get through to the 3rd round at Wimbledon.

Our mens water polo team just got beat 15-10 by Montenegro.

Were up 7-6 at half time, so the 2nd half was a bit of a white wash. Not sure how much was Montenegro being really good or the Sharks defense getting really loose?

Great gold medal by the girls in the pool. Will be watching Titmus closely tonite. We should win basketball against Nigeria but the soccer will be hard. Often there is a drop off from a big win and Spain will be ready for us.

Nice win by the Boomers first up against Nigeria with an 84-65 victory.

A bit sloppy in their offence at times, but their defense is first class and will go a long way to a potential medal.

Got what we needed out of the swimming heats tonight. We go into tomorrow morning with two genuine gold medal chances in Emma McKeon in the 100m fly and Titmus in the 400m free. Plus our mens 4x100m Freestyle relay team, who may be unlikely for gold, but are certainly a medal contender.

Meanwhile the Kookubarras demolished India 7-1. Didn't get to see any of it, but that's a significant win as India are a very talented hockey team.

Olyroos did well to hang on for so long against Spain.  Conceded late but 3 of our players have now been ruled out of the match against Egypt after receiving yellow cards

Win against Egypt and we advance but draw and we may miss

Although I'm not sure whether Argentina will hold out against Spain ... bit of a class difference as I see it

And Harry Garside has advanced to the last 16 in the boxing (Lightweight division) He looked alright too,  winning all 3 rounds.  A southpaw with a bit of style

 

Edit:  Had a look at Harry Garside's profile and he won gold at the 2018 Commonwealth games and lists his hero as Jim Stynes ( Harry has done a bit of volunteer work for the Reach foundation)

Can we assume that Harry is a Demon supporter?

Congratulations to Emma McKeon on a fine swim to claim bronze in the 100m Butterfly, was not far off at all swimming a new PB.

Yesterday we got a medal of every color in the pool. Here's hoping we'll do the same today.

In a shock of the Ash Barty type. Our mens Rugby 7's team has lost their opening match to Argentina 29-19. This puts them in serious danger of missing the Quarter Finals.

They have South Korea again later today who they should beat comfortably,  however they'll need to beat New Zealand tomorrow to be any chance of progressing.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
