Well my Kangas are sitting 12th when I paid an extra $175 on my membership to be guaranteed a grand final ticket.. sigh!! Also yes, very excited the French open has begun!! Too bad about the time differences though!
Mod
Go Aussies in French open. Time difference is a problem but Wimbledon falls in my holidays so I can enjoy that tournament instead. Oh I dream to be able to go to each of the Grand Slams. Been to Australian Open and Brisbane international, Hopman Cup and the atmosphere is fantastic and I would like to compare these to the other great tournaments of the world.

Yes Noelene I have heard that Wimbledon is amazing, would love to go there one day, and to New York for the US Open!
was out and about today and saw your Australian Women's soccer team in Vancouver holding a practice for the women's world cup :)

Of course - they practice again and invited vancouverites to go out and watch them again :)
I might just have to go back

To be fair I think Mick was one of the only good things at Carlton at the moment.
Better on the weekend for Port, were running with some confidence again for the first time this month.
Pretty terrible fade out from your lot, Merryn! Not that I can talk.

It's getting to the stage that just about every round looks tough for many teams.
Competition has definitely closed up. Last year there were probably four or five teams that you could pretty much assume a win against, now there's basically only Carlton.Looking forward to Port v. Geelong at Adelaide Oval next friday!! Going with a mate of mine who's a Cats supporter, should be interesting.
Mod
A hard call that one - Port should beat the Cats, but they are so unpredictable sometimes! I obviously hope the Cats win though;)
Agreed, that is an interesting one. I think Port will have the home ground advantage though and get the job done.
Hawks one was great, didn't miss much against Richmond though :/
Going well the Tigers! Hope they keep it up...
Mod
Down to 29 points now Can tigers hold it together?
Neither! Although they're gonna be up themselves over in Tigerland now.
just got home and checked the scores!! what the Richmond??
Michael wrote: "What a win by the Tigers. Did not see that one coming."Me either, they blitzed them in the first quarter and the held it together when Freo made a charge. Didn't start the weekend tipping off on a good note, but maybe that means the rest of the weekend will go more to plan. We shall see.
I apparently tipped the Bombers! What an idiot. I also tipped the Roos tomorrow... fingers crossed!Great win from Port tonight, proper strong win against quality opposition in a while. Gotta carry it through to next friday!
Also Footscray with a pretty scummy banner which suited the result!

Good day in sports over in Canada - our Ladies defeated China in soccer ... next up New Zealand.
[really hoping for the chance to beat the USA lol]

The Aussies play the US tomorrow Melissa. Predicted to be a close game.

Yes - it is great ... occasionally we will play Australia and New Zealand in various sports. A year or two back Canada played you both in rugby ŵhich was an absolute loss on our part] but great fun to watch.

Well, eight out of nine in tipping this week. But I don't think too many would have picked Ricmond over Freo.
