Aussie bloke, emotions run higher than a kangaroo on a trampoline when watching sports.

I'd buy a retro jersey. The All Blacks brought back the collar.

Hoping for a great game. I feel like the Wallabies aren't going to start winning regularly again until they bring the collar back.

It was what he said about the coaches and his former team mates. He makes up excuses for his own failings.

Not harsh enough. He's hated in the west. And not because he left, but because of the crap that came out of his mouth when he left.

I don't care who wins, I'll just be cheering for Lobb to fail in whatever role he plays.

Without Realmuto behind the plate, some of our pitchers have struggled, but going full defense mode is a bit much. How many sleeps until he's back? It'll be Xmas in July when he returns.

This entire election buildup is causing great stress to my family as we're packing our bags to move to the US/Philly. Our friends and family here keep begging us not to go.

I just looked up the dates and that's going to be a rough one for me timing wise. I'm going to have to sell all of my TV's before moving.

I refuse to call him Orion! His name is Richard. So, Topper has opted to give the Cubs a good old Dick Kerkering in the 8th. #Phillies

When my neighbour asked me to pick her up from the airport, I didn't realise it would be a 1.20am pickup. And then the flight gets delayed two and a half hours....

US social media is a chaotic mess. People claim to be panic-buying guns for the post-election apocalypse, like a zombie outbreak is coming. And guess who's moving there? This bloke! I've got a knack for questionable decisions, apparently.

I have plenty of near misses with roos, but I've never had an accident of any kind. Defensive driving. Expect it to happen. Just brake straight and don't swerve.

How he escaped prison sentences all over the world (70+ countries) for election interference is mind boggling. His vision of completely destroying the system to rebuild it in his vision is coming to fruition, and it's bloody terrifying. If you dare to think critically, you're shamed for being woke.

They were pretty quick in replacing Don Lemon, Brian Stelter and hundreds of other staff. I usually watch the first minute or two of a video clip, and once experts start giving their opinions, I turn it off. In an age of manipulation and misinformation, all I want are the facts.

In 2022, new owner John Malone made it his mission to turn it into a right wing network. He's a huge fan of Fox News. They started axing people as soon as he got there, but said it would take time. It's still a work in progress.

My favourite AFL channel on YouTube is a woman in LA. She's highly knowledgeable, hilarious and witty.

Haha. I can get an international subscription. I hate having to rely on Fox. I miss most of the Eagles games here because of them.

I took swing dancing lessons many years ago and quickly discovered that I'm too tall for all that knee movement and getting down to the height of a woman. That and the fact that I dance like your typical white dude didn't work in my favour. 😂

I'll miss my Aussie sports, or have to get up in the wee hours of the morning to watch them. I love my AFL (Aussie Rules Football).

That's awesome! If you have no time for blogging, Bluesky is a great way to put your thoughts out there. I never got into ice hockey, but I did go to a Capitals game back in 2000. I'm moving to Philly in the next month or two, so I'll be drowning in all things Philly sports. I have much to learn.

You sure do love your world sports! I slept through the F1 last night, so a 5 min highlights video will have to do. I need to get back into Le Tour de France.

I have a 75" and 2x40" above it. My wife had to work on a weekend one day and came home to that. She knows better than to leave me alone.
