Australia get a 2nd win in the day in the 3x3 Basketball, knocking off USA 17-15! Takes them to 3-1 so far with 3 more games to come.

Here's hoping the Opals can draw inspiration re coming back from a slow start to the tournament.

Yes, our Women's 3 x 3 Basketball team are now in a position to push for an automatic Semi Final Berth

Need to finish 1st or 2nd in the 8 team pool (the only pool) but 3rd overall to 6th overall qualify for the play-in matches (to fill the other 2 Semi Final berths)  We play Azerbaijan, France and top team, Spain, in our remaining pool matches

As for our medal chances through to the morning, our Women's 4 x 200m Freestyle Relay team is a big show whilst Elizabeth Dekkers is a medal chance in the 200m Butterfly

And the Opal's look like getting the much needed win against Canada

Well done to the Opals on the bounce back win, 70-65 over Canada. Still a few issues for them to tidy up, but Canada are a good team, so they should take that win.

 

They've done it again the Sharks! Another huge upset, this time over France 9-8. With two wins out of three, they're almost guaranteed of getting through to the Quarter Finals.

Payback on Canada today continues with Mariafe/Clancy getting a straight sets win 21-10, 21-16. That assures them of a spot in the elimination Round of 16.

It was the girls best performance so far. Canada made some mistakes, especially in the first set, but the girls have improved each match so far.


In great news the Hockeyroos have drawn with Argentina 3-3 after trailing 0-2 and then again at 2-3. This draw means a win over Spain in their final match (which they should do) almost guarantees them top spot in their group unless Argentina absolutely demolish Great Britain in their final match.

Gold to Australia and the 4x200m Freestyle Relay team! It was close for a while, but when Titmus was last in the pool, they were never going to lose.

4 wins on the trot for our 3x3 Basketball team with a 21-12 victory over Azerbaijan. Still two games to go, but if they keep up this form, they should be good for a Semi Final birth.

 

Win streak comes to an end for our 3x3 team, going down 17-21 to Spain. Brave effort as they had no sub with Mansfield being injured. Hopefully she's right for their match against France tomorrow and a win can still get a top 2 spot.

Best medal chances tonight 

Grae Morris in the Sailing Men's Windsurfer Final

Cameron McEvoy - 50m Freestyle Final

Kaylee McKeown - 200m Backstroke Final

And our BMX riders have medal chances if they can advance to the Women's & Men's Finals

Disappointing loss for the Kookaburras 2-3 to India, their first loss to India in an Olympics since 1972.

End of the day, still have a Quarter Final spot secured and it will be a tough match up, whether it's against any of Great Britain, Germany or Netherlands. Once we'd lost the game to Belgium, the easy run to a Semi Final was lost. Here's hoping they can find their form for the Knockout matches.

Stingers get another victory in the Waterpolo 10-7 over Canada. Got a little tight in the final term, but another win, and they're right in contention to top their group.


Boomers drop an important match to Greece in the Basketball. They even run the risk of missing the Quarter Finals now  pending the result of the Spain v Canada match later this evening.

Medal to Australia! Whether it's Gold or Silver is still to be determined, but Matt Ebden and John Peers have defeated the USA's Fritz/Paul in the Tennis Doubles Semi Final 7-5, 6-2 and will go for Gold tomorrow! (Tomorrow I think)

The Women's Canoe Slalom Kayak Cross Time-trial began at 12 40am

Jessica Fox features along with her Sister, Noemie Fox

Not sure how the competition format works but we'll find out soon enough

In some good news for the Boomers, Canada have beaten a fast finishing Spain in the Basketball 88-85, meaning that they should now advance to the Quarter Finals. Given their record though, every chance we could draw USA. Should find out after tomorrow.


Gold to Australia! Cam McEvoy in his 4th Olympics finally gets his first individual gold. Very happy for the guy, he really deserves it.

And we finally have a bloke get a gold medal.

More Gold to Australia! Kaylee McKeown has done the double, double defending both the 100 & 200 Backstroke from Tokyo. What an amazing achievement!

Three gold in the one night! Sakakibara in the BMX race just blew the field away. What a race!

A Golden day for the Aussies!

So far, we've got all we could have asked for, plus a number of extras!!

And winning aside, we've still got numerous chances to medal in any number of events.  Hopefully, some more Gold amongst those medals

And most, or all of our teams, are still in contention to advance

Not wrong there Macca. In fact, it's only the end of Day 7 competition, but if the Olympics were to stop right now, it would already be our 6th most successful Olympics in terms of Gold medals, already having surpassed our hauls in London 2012 & Rio 2016 (two reasonably recent games).

Only two more nights in the Pool, so will be interesting to see how much more Gold we can grab in the final week of the games when it gets to us.

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
