    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?!

    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!

    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.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
