Yes, an excellent start for the Kookaburra's & Boomers, TD.  Early group wins are so, so important

Men's Beach Volleyball on now along with the Rugby 7's S/F's at 11.30pm (Medal Matches from 3.00am)

Grace Brown has a real chance in the Women's cycling time trial and 4 gold medals are up for grabs in the swimming (4.30am onwards) with strong Australian representation.  The Men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay could be a classic with 6 genuine hopes

The Ledecky & Titmus dual in the 400m could produce a World record.  The wild-card's is another Aussie, Jamie Perkins, and the Kiwi, Erika Fairweather

Womens Beach Volleyball (vs China) at 2.00am, Women's Water Polo (vs China) at 4.30am and the surfing from Tahiti at 3.00am & 7.48am

You've got to take your hat off to the Fijians.  Ultra-talented and they have never lost a match at Olympic level.  They are great to watch

Way too good for the Aussies (who will now play against South Africa for the Bronze - 3.00am) 

Fiji play France for the Gold at 3 45am

Very comprehensive indeed from Fiji.

But what an effort from Grace Brown!  Great to get us off the mark so soon!

There was a bit of talk that Grace was a realistic podium chance but she turned it into a no-contest.  

As @grazman mentioned, she rode the race with no fear.  Took on the corners in treacherous conditions

As you said, it's great to get a Gold early.  Takes a bit of pressure off and and adds inspiration for our other athletes

Ledecky treated the 400m heat quite seriously this morning (Paris time) so Ariarne will really need to be right on her game

But we're a chance in all 4 finals especially the 4 x 100 Freestyle for the Women

Do we know what time the Womens time trial medal ceremony will become? I'm assuming it must be some time post the mens race?

I'm recording the main Ch9 channel on a hard drive as it looks like they are using that channel as a Cover-all/Overview

So the presentation will no doubt bob up there sooner or later, TD

Needless to say, sleeping is going to be an issue over the next 2 weeks!!

A first up win for Mariafe/Clancy in the Beach Volleyball 22-20, 14-21, 16-14. They struggled at times and didn't look as in sync as they clearly were at Tokyo. But they'll be happy with that win. They fought it out well!

Brave effort by the Wallabies going down by a try in the Bronze Medal match. They were hard done by with some questionable umpiring calls in the 2nd half which cost them dearly.

Silver to Elijah Winnington in the 400m Freestyle! What a well swam race. 

 

Edit: GOLD for Titmus as she goes back to back in the 400m Freestyle from Tokyo! What a champion!

GOLD, GOLD, GOLD for Australia! Womens 4x100m Freestyle Relay team with the Gold and an Olympic record!

Edit: Silver for our mens 4x100m Freestyle Relay team. And what a final leg from Kyle Chalmers! Bodes well for the 100m Freestyle.

Fabulous effort from the Boomers, still think Brian Goorjian is one of the best basketball coaches we've ever had and I love the fact that he showed them their OT loss to Spain in 2019 before this game.

Sad that we couldn't quite get it done in the sevens, really like this version of Rugby.

Love your work Macca. Will be tough for Australia to have as amazing day as yesterday, but still some genuine medal chances elwith Jess Fox and Emma McKeon both in action.

Will also be interesting to see if the Matildas can bounce back in their match tonight and how our Womens 7's team start off their campaign?

From memory, we were in with a chance for at least 1 Gold Medal on all the days of competition at Tokyo.  The other memory was no crowds!  If the Opals can make it to the final, that event (Women's Basketball) is on the last day and the very last Gold Medal match

And you're right, Jess Fox gives us our best chance tonight whilst Emma McKeon is always competitive.  And our teams in action can set up medal chances down the track as can the Surfer's & Skateboarder's

Rebecca Henderson is an outside chance in the Women's Mountain Bike Cross Country at 10.10pm

Hockeyroos get it done 2-1 in their opening match against South Africa.  They'll be wanting to medal after going undefeated in the Group stage at Tokyo, only to then lose a Quarter Final to India. Brooke Peris looks a very good player for us!

And bad luck to The Sharks (mens Waterpolo) who went down to Spain earlier this evening. Couldn't repeat the great work of The Stingers (our women) who knocked off China in the early hours of this morning.

Simone Biles is just mesmerisingly good in the Gymnastics.  Her floor exercise had to be seen to be believed but she is just as good with the apparatus disciplines

A very dominant win first up by our Women in the Rugby 7's 34-5 over South Africa. They'll certainly be a gold medal chance if they keep playing this way. Maddison Levi in particular looks a star!

Our Womens Rugby 7's does it again with a 36-5 win over Great Britain! They play a tough entertaining style of Rugby. Certainly looking a lot better than the Matildas at the moment...

Jessica Fox - An Absolute Star!

And Jess has still got the C1 (Canoe Single) to come 

And well done to the Matilda's winning against Zambia in a goalfest!  They've kept the dream alive

The Women's Rugby 7's team are looking awesome

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
