Am staggered that in 2019, where teams as big as Barcelona and Manchester United wear clash strips, we have one team in the
@AFL
which still refuses to have one.
#rulesforsome
Let's not forget Stuart Broad - who labelled Carey's run out the worst thing he's seen - didn't walk after smashing this to Clarke. He still defends that yet conveniently forgets Bairstow attempted to run out Labuschagne the same way as Carey 2 days earlier. Selective memory
How about this for full circle: Just discovered Travis Head played his first ever A-grade game as a 16 year old for TTG in round 1 vs Prospect in 2010. Have a look at who took the wicket and who took the catch!
Hearing some people describing the decision to drop Travis Head as bold. Spare me! Not withstanding the fact he’s statistically been a standout the last 18 months, he’s shown he takes wickets in Australia… as a spinner!
#INDvsAUS
Aussies made so many mistakes and should’ve won but Joel Wilson’s non decision of the LBW is laughable. An offie bowling to a left handed bat and hitting him in line with middle and leg is about as plumb as you’ll ever get. Ever
#ashes
Shane McAdam sent directly to the tribunal, meaning he's likely to get a hefty penalty. I'm okay with that but Kozzie Pickett getting offered 2 weeks for something similar is the kind of inconsistency that has everyone shaking their heads at the match review process.
Worst round I’ve played in a long time but somehow have fluked my first ever hole in one on the beautiful par 3, 8th at Tea Tree Gully Golf Course. My head is spinning - haha
Have to say I’m a bit bemused by Australia’s decision to axe Travis Head. They’ve dropped a guy who made a test ton against the now number 1 ranked side 6 innings ago. Staggering!
#AUSvIND
Great credit should be paid to Taylor Walker on his captaincy. Always fronted up after tough losses, never shirked an issue and was and is always approachable. He helped guide the club through some bloody tough times too! I’ve no doubt he has still got some great footy to come!
I think the Gold Coast Suns might have a reasonable case to feel aggrieved by some of the umpiring tonight. The free kick to Weightman and 50m penalty in this last quarter… wow!
The
@AFL
is calling for nominations for next year’s “magic round” which won’t be called “magic round.”
Given it’s in SA, I’ll go with the “heaps good” round.
Any other suggestions?
@9NewsAdel
Vale Danny Frawley. So many great stories & one small one was I was lucky to call a game with him and
@kanecornes
last year. Port won and SPP broke Cornes’ club tackle record. Frawley was ribbing Cornes all night and I couldn’t stop laughing. Will be sorely missed. Rest in peace
Talk about rising to the occasion!! Travis Head comes in under pressure and questioned by many and puts Australia in a dominant position! The most important innings of his life! Well played!!
It’s the inconsistency for me which isn’t good enough. Bailey gets called with zero opportunity and then that happens at the end with Blicavs. Time to get it right.
I may be a little biased but the fact
@travishead34
was left out of the final test in England was laughable! He’s just made a ton against an attack which could be an international line up. He simply must play in the first test vs Pakistan. If he doesn’t then it’s officaly a joke
That Sydney loss to Melbourne isn’t going to make last week’s Crows loss to the swans feel any better. Would currently be sitting 7th and would be locked in for finals…
Amazing Showdown win for the Crows. Will be intrigued to see the coaches votes. Thought Dawson was great but think Thilthorpe and Rankine won the match.
#AFLPowerCrows
What a great story! Oscar Brownless to wear the jumper he grew up loving and admiring! Proud dad Billy and mum Nicky to share the moment with him.
@9NewsAdel
@9NewsMelb
What a career on tv for Sandy Roberts! I rang him a few weeks ago for advice on how to call a tennis match on tv. In his unmistakable, calm tone, he said:
“Tommy, just remember, less is best, get in and out of breaks, and pump it up.”
Always on point, always generous.
A legend!
Well done
@StrikersBBL
and
@dizzy259
not many tipped this group to get it done pre tournament but a young squad, lots of talent and brilliantly coached and captained! Great result!
#BBLFinal
One of the feel good stories for 2020 for
@Adelaide_FC
the out of contract Ben Keays hopes he’s done enough to get a new deal at the end of the season.
@9NewsAdel
What a big few days for sport here in SA. Greg Norman with the premier, to officially announce a LIV tournament to be played at Grange in April next year.
@9NewsAdel
@1395FIVEaa
Been a long time since I’ve run the Tan here in Melbourne. Clearly too long! 3.827km took 20 mins and 45 seconds. Yikes! I’m thinking
@kanecornes
may have just about lapped me in that time.
Loving the work of Travis Head. Continues to make big contributions at important times and another half century to his name! I just hope today is a really really big one!
#AUSvNZ
Meeting finished. Jordan Dawson leaves Alberton after a one and a half hour meeting with
@PAFC
coaches and officials. Now it’s decision time for the 24 year old.
@9NewsAdel
What a fabulous counter punching century from Travis Head! Continues to make big runs when they count! Has taken a few a while to catch on but absolutely no mistaking his quality and importance to his country! Well played! 👏
#INDvsAUS
A lot of knockers pre series but Travis Head has made runs when they’ve counted. And Cameron Green looking every bit the world class all rounder we’ve been craving. Green is 22 and Head turned 28 last month. Exciting times ahead.
#Ashes
A rough week for cricket fans but what a brilliant result to see
@Chaddsayers27
make his debut! Tireless worker who has never given up hope of playing for his country!
Goodness it’s hard not to be impressed by Alex Carey! Just gets the job done every time. Understand it’s not easy but I’d love to see him get a crack further up the order.
#ENGvAUS
Have loved the
@BBL
this year! But it’s time for
@CricketAus
to sort scheduling out so we don’t lose the best players at the pointy end. Either a shorter
@bbl
comp or scrap international T20’s...
Huge week for the
@Adelaide_FC
with Josh Rachele the latest to commit long term to the club. Feels like they’re building a strong young core under Matthew Nicks! Rachele signed until 2029 - wow!
Fantastic and very privileged to be here at the Gabba to preview the first AFL grand final away from the MCG. All the latest team news shortly.
@9NewsAdel
Oh my god! This place
@AdelaideTennis
is heaving right now! Atmosphere is so good! If you can’t be here definitely watch on
@wwos
@TKokkinakis
just levels the final at a set apiece. Chance for his first ever ATP final win
I understand it's far from ideal circumstances but if the AFL season goes ahead in its revamped format, it will actually be the fairest fixture the competition has ever had.
Over officiating at its best! Westhoff spoils a ball less than a metre over the boundary and a 50m penalty which gifts a goal. Just stop over umpiring please!
#AFLTigersPower
Hearing that Crows officials are currently meeting with Brisbane to discuss the possibility of getting the Lions pick 5. With Port snaring pick 6 it appears the race is on to have the higher pick between the two SA clubs.
@9NewsAdel
Is everyone satisfied the Betts touched behind wasn’t actually a goal with less than a minute to go? Seemed worth a review given what happened earlier in the quarter.
Well done
@FOXFOOTY
for the interview with Garry Lyon and Jason Dunstall. Very emotional in difficult circumstances but I just hope it was a bit of a cathartic moment for both of them. All class from
@GerardWhateley
too.
Oh my god! That was epic! A lot will be made of Andrew Redmayne who made that critical save and rightly so. But I’m also so happy for Craig Goodwin who was subbed on and was brilliant with the execution of his spot kick.
#AUSvPER
Wow!! Well done
@Adelaide_FC
without arguably their best midfielder for more than a half of footy through injury. To fight back like that was a huge effort!
#AFLDemonsCrows
Such an excitement machine already. An absolute joy to chat with Nestory Irankunda and his proud father, Gideon after his selection in the
@Socceroos
squad as a train on player. Get the feeling this young man’s star will shine bright for a very long time!
@9NewsAdel
Great to see
@Jack23Watts
back jogging laps. Ryan Burton also doing working away from the main group and around 2 weeks away after hurting his hamstring against Brisbane.
@9NewsAdel
Unfortunately Alexander Zverev has injured his hamstring today and won’t play in the
@WTCAdelaide
event. But he’s showing his class, sticking around and signing autographs for hundreds of fans.
@9NewsAdel
He’s signed a new deal which will keep him at the
@Adelaide_FC
until the end of 2024 and
@Brodiesmith33
says the idea of being a one club player is a huge honour for him and his family.
@9NewsAdel
The sight every
@Adelaide_FC
wants to see. Rory Sloane signed, sealed and delivered and admits raising a young family away from his and Belinda’s parents was difficult.
@9NewsAdel
Hard not to feel anything but pride after that performance from the Socceroos tonight! Mooy and Leckie inspiring! Souttar a rock and Goodwin brilliant again! You bloody ripper!
#FIFAWorldCup
@RalphyHeraldSun
Well this is just a horrendous error if so. We all stand with
@cleary_mitch
who does nothing but uphold himself with the highest of integrity.
Well done
@StrikersBBL
I know I’m a little biased but the calmness and composure of
@travishead34
in the pressure moments with his captaincy and execution... 🙌
The
@Adelaide_FC
have just ruled Josh Rachele out of Saturday’s clash against West Coast. He’s still suffering from that corkie and with the bye this week, he’ll have 3 weeks off to then hit the second half of the season.
@9NewsAdel
How’s the start to the year by Aussie golfers around the world?! Wins on the international scene by Wade Ormsby, Cam Smith, Lucas Herbert, Marc Leishman and now Adam Scott. Brilliant to see!
Great news for
@texwalker13
and the
@Adelaide_FC
with the 33 year old signing on for another year at West Lakes. Has booted 54 goals this season and is on track to beat his season best of 63. In arguably the best form of his career.
Great to see Matt Crouch out at training and building towards playing again after battling groin problems. Even better news with Fischer McAsey signing a two year extension keeping him
@Adelaide_FC
until the end of 2023.
