Great work by the Equestrian team and Andrew Hoy. Our silver cupboard was a little bare, so nice to even things out a little!

TD beat me to it but the Olympics site is easy to negotiate - a few clicks and one can find all the Aussie representation (or any country for that matter) ... www.olympics.com

Not sure on the app but others might have a verdict on that one ... I just use the official site

For the benefit of others, the 7Plus app is brilliant.  I watched all the Equestrian tonight on a laptop and no gliches to be seen at all

 

Edit:  At first glance the official app looks good ... the daily schedule in a complete timed list is very helpful

Not entirely sure where our 3 competitors sit** with regards to the Eventing Individual Final but we may well be in a position to be vying for medals again

But it would be great to see Andrew Hoy get an individual medal of any colour

Competition starts at 9.45pm

** See next post

Good effort by the Sharks tonight, finishing their Olympic campaign with a 15-7 victory of Kazakhstan which sees them finish with a 2-3 record and finish 9th. A lot of the time a 2-3 record would be enough to earn a Quarter Final birth, however it wasn't to be for the Sharks despite their impressive win over Serbia. One of their better Olympic campaigns IMO.


Will take a minor miracle for the Opals to get the 25 point win they need tonight. At this stage it's no sure thing they'll even win!

1 point up at the half.

Sad way to lose foe the Matilda’s. It was pretty even, both teams had their chances and in the end a bit of luck for Sweden got it done. Baffling decision from the ref to award that soft free kick to deny us the opening goal. Really silly from Carpenter (who’s been good all tournament), frustration got the better of her and now she misses the bronze play off game (and I think if we somehow beat the states she doesn’t get a medal). 

Still they’ve done Australia proud, setting themselves up for a red hot crack at the World Cup.

Andrew Hoy wins the Bronze medal in the Equestrian Individual Eventing!!

At one stage he was in the gold medal position with just 3 competitors to complete their jumping discipline

2 of the 3 went clear including the ultimate winner and the first female athlete to win this event ... Julia Krajewski

All the same, a fantastic effort from Andrew Hoy along with his mount, Vassily De Lassos

Kudos!

Will he be back for Paris?!

Edited by Macca

Opals got a move on in the 3rd term. Now 16 points up with a quarter to play. Can they do it!?

They've somehow managed to do it the Opals! Well done on getting to that 27 point victory and securing that Quarter Finals birth! Left it late, but at least they got there.

Will face USA or hopefully Spain instead in the Quarter Finals which will be tough either way, but at least they managed to get there.

The Opals save the day!! (from a teams point of view as we've done ok elsewhere)

Man, that was tense!

We live to fight another day but we're going to have to have a couple of 'day-outs' to progress past the Q/F's

Not wrong there Macca.  The Opals have drawn USA in the Quarter Finals....

Ugh!  That match-up now falls into the "you never know" category!

But still, basketball games can be won if one team gets hot with 3 pointers

We've done ok in the Canoe Sprint S/F's today with 3 crews/singles progressing to 3 finals ... coming up shortly

Another gold coming our way tomorrow in the Sailing with our pair only needing to show up!

That will make 15 gold and officially put it down as our 3rd best Gold Medal haul at the Olympics ever and keep us within striking distance of making it out best!

Well done to 470 crew! (Mat Belcher & Will Ryan) ... they have been dominant throught

Just need to eke out a few more gold TD.  We've got more than a few more chances though so fingers crossed!


Do we know the order of the gymnastics finals tonight? I am trying to plan my evening around it…. I’m not obsessed you are ?

I’ll answer my own question. Simone on at 6:50pm then we have an Aussie representing in the horizontal bars. 
My night is sorted ?

Sorry for the silence Jaded. Off doing dinner etc. See she got bronze which is a brilliant effort!

Meanwhile Harry Garside has won his way into the Boxing Semi Finals assuring himself of a bronze medal minimum.

She was amazing as always. I think they scored her a little low on the difficulty but what an effort to come third after the week she’s had.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
