Tough 19 point loss for the Boomers against USA today. Was just the last 3-4min of the 2nd term and the 3rd term that killed us.

Will still get a chance for Bronze however on Saturday.

Looks like Melissa Will had just secured herself a medal with a great round of diving! Colour to be determined. Most likely bronze, but a much deserved medal for Melissa. She's been a great diver for a long time, often falling just short.

Matildas lose in cruel fashion to USA in the soccer bronze medal match 4-3. Didn't have the rub of the green with the referee, but an impressive performance from the Matildas.


The ref appeared to be on the books of the states at the end then (saying that in jest). A clear foul that should have gone our way to have a set piece at the end goes the way of the USA. Then we aren’t allowed to play the corner at the end despite the amount of time the USA wasted at the end. 

I didn’t watch most of the game as I was out experiencing the last little bit of freedom for a bit. Well done to the Matilda’s in any case, I like their manager, I think they’ve got a very decent chance at mixing it with the best at the upcoming World Cup. They should be very proud of their efforts, but for some very questionable ref calls they might well have taken home a medal of any colour.

Ashley Moloney gets a Bronze in the Decathlon!  A fantastic achievemrnt for the 21yo and Australia's first ever medal in the event

Looks to have a great future does Ashley! 

 

Back online after some tech issues. Great result last night for Ashley to claim bronze and heartbreak for the Kookaburras to miss out on Gold through a penalty shoot out with Belgium.

Was probably the right result as Belgium were the better team over the course of the game, however I thought Kookaburras were by far the better team in the last term and were finishing over the top of Belgium, but just couldn't get that goal! I can't help but feel if extra time was still a thing, that may have suited us better?

That's game set and match and a silver medal for the Australian Beach Volleyball pair of Del Solar & Clancy, losing to USA 21-15, 21-16. We've had a bad run against the USA in the last two days with the Boomers, Matildas and now Beach Volleyball team all getting beaten by them.

A great effort from Del Solar & Clancy to now be Silver Medalists at the Commonwealth Games 3 years ago and now at the Olympics as well where they beat the World Number 1 pair from Canada. Here's hoping for Gold in Birmingham next year!


Artistic Group Swimming technical is on tonight!

If you need cheering up during lockdown, grab some wine, get on a group chat and watch this with friends. You won't find a better hour of joy elsewhere this weekend (since we are playing Monday!).

Bronze for Harry Garside in the boxing!

Fought a good fight, but just outclassed by Cruz. No shame though, as he really gave it his all. A bronze medal well deserved!

The Cuban boxer looked like a pro!

Harry outclassed but he is just starting out ... and he wins a Bronze medal!

Bronze to Kelsey-Lee Barber in the Javelin ... at her best she would have won tonight but she's had all sorts of issues which have effected her performances

Couple more throws tonight and Kelsey-Lee probably wins.  Got better with every throw

Still, a fine performance to win the Bronze


Great effort last night from Kelsey-Lee! As you say Macca, one can't help but think under different circumstances she could have won the Gold? But it's a great performance given all her set backs.

If only she had of got that last piece of beef instead of her brother Greg!😬

We're running out of medal chances TD! Boomers tonight (9pm) for a possible Bronze and McSweyn has a decent opportunity in the 1500m at 9.40pm

After that, 2 chances tomorrow in the Track Cycling as I see it (Men's Keiren & Women's Omnium) but more so a medal chance for Edmondson in the Omnium

Edited by Macca

An incredible finish to the rhythmic gymnastics individual final. Israel won the first ever gold in this event and the first gold not won by ROC in decades. 
Incredible performance!

Here's hoping we can do it Macca! We're two medals short of equalling our haul of 46 from Bejing and 1 gold short of our best gold haul ever! Hoping for a bolt from the blue, like Chloe Esposito helping us avoid our lowest gold haul since 92' last Olympics.

Eleanor Patterson & Nicola McDermott can feature in the High Jump tonight as well (8.35pm) ... although the Ukrainian jumper (Mahuchikh) will be hard to beat.  You just never know! haha

Patty Mills you star!!!  

And Nicola McDermott claims Silver in the high jump with an Australian record!

That's 46 medals for Australia, equalling our haul from Bejing (bettering it given we've claimed more gold here). 

What a games this has been for the nation!

Fantastic Boomers!! We finally got that medal!! The whole team played well but Mills was extraordinarily good!!

And Nicola McDermott put up great show in the High Jump.  Silver medal a magnificent result!! Not far off Gold and it took a champion effort to beat her

At the start of the evening if you'd offered me a Silver & Bronze I would have said ... yes please!!

2 more chances for medals in the Track Cycling tomorrow ... the Keiren (2 Aussies in the Q/F's) can throw up all sorts of results with its frantic finishes whilst Annette Edmondson is an experienced performer in the Omnium and could get into the finish

We deserve another medal to break that overall record so fingers crossed!!

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
