Kookaburras get the win 2-1 against Ireland. Yet to really hit their straps the Kookaburras, but they're 2 for 2, so have set themselves up well.

A bit of a horrible first up loss for the Opals to Nigeria. Probably the worst they've played since the last Olympics. But with over 25 turnovers and shooting at less than 50% from the foul line, it's probably not that surprising.

Don't love their chances of getting a medal from here.

The Rugby 7's girls go through undefeated with a 19-14 win over Ireland. They weren't as sharp tonight, but with top spot already secured and Ireland needing a good result to make the Quarter Finals, the girls did what they needed to do.

Quarter Final should be early this morning.

Statement win for the Hockeyroos with a 4-0 drubbing of Great Britain, a team that's medalled at the last 3 games. Fingers crossed they can keep this form going.

Only good thing about being in Somalia (apart from getting paid) is the time zone is very Olympics friendly. Loving the Women’s 7s thought the men were pretty special too, so ripped off with that French Ref, not a knock on and definitely a fwd pass by the boks. Hockey I feel like not being favorites suits us, we always cooked it when we were red hot faves.

Gold to O'Callaghan and Silver to Titmus. Great effort girls. I think we can put the women's 4x200m Freestyle relay gold in the books now as well.👍

Yep. It's been a tough day for the Irish, losing to our Rugby 7's girls twice in the one day! Plus their mens Hockey team also lost to the Kookaburras today. Our girls have Canada next in the Semis. Win that and it's a Silver medal at worst.

Mariafe/Clancy lose 16-21, 16-21 to USA. Not all lost as a win in their next match will guarantee them a spot in the final 16. As I said last match, they're not playing as well as they did at Tokyo, however they can build into this tournament. USA are one of the Gold medal favourites in the Beach Volleyball.

Sadly gave a few points away with errors, but not far off

The Rugby 7's commentators are terribly biased when it comes to the refereeing decisions 

They rarely point out when a decision goes in our favour and are quick to note when a decision goes against Australia

What they should be doing is pointing out both ... the yin & yan (take the good with the bad)

In Rugby union especially, a knock on is often paid when a player fumbles the ball.  So don't fumble

The referees have to make a split-second decision and don't have the benefit of numerous replays

We get the Quinella!!  Super effort by both girls!!  Augers well for the 4 x 200m relay

So of the 5 Gold medals we've won so far, 3 were expected and 2 were when we've had a decent chance

We haven't not won a gold when we've been the hot favourite (so far)

However, if we are right in the mix (but not hot favourite) for say 3 events, on average, we should win 1 of the events (in my view)

So if we count the K1 (Jess), the Time trial (Grace) and Kaylee in the 100m Backstroke (later tonight), we should expect to get 1 Gold Medal from the 3

But we might end up with all 3 Golds!!

I suppose we might be red hot favourite for the Rugby 7's for Women but the Kiwi's might have something to say about that ... they've been ultra impressive as well!

And apparently we are rated #3 in the World?  We certainly didn't play to that level and maybe the rankings are questionable?  Nigeria on the other hand were very good

Unfortunate loss for the Boomers against a very strong Canada team 83-93. We were right in it, but went cold in the final quarter. A win in their final group match against Greece will assure a Quarter Final spot.

Bad day for our teams in matches against Canada with our Rugby 7's girls losing their Semi Final. Still a chance for our first Bronze of the games against USA in a few hours.

Canada too good in the Women's Rugby 7's

Hats off to the better team, you can't win 'em all.  The Canadians played their best game of the tournament

It's one of those sports where just 1 or 2 errors can cost victory and tonight we made a few costly errors

Yes, we had an off night but Canada were a step up from Spain.  We lacked a bit of rythym and Canada were in control all night

The rankings have Greece at #14 but their best could test the Aussies.  But our best should see a victory and with it, advancement to the Q/F's

We're playing Greece Friday evening at 9.30pm

    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
