Hawks being strangled here in #AFLGiantsHawks Usual tactics of switching in the backline to open space less effective due to Norwood Oval dimensions and less width. Both sides need to be willing to take the game on down the middle and risk turnovers to win.

Wow! Think about what you were doing at 15. #thatsfast #reallyfast

ICYMI 🎥 | Gout Gout, 15 years of age, stormed around the bend, down the straight and across the finish line in 20.87 (-0.1) to take home the crown and the Australian Under 18 200m record. 🤯

@rtralphy Would 2 goal umpires have fixed that one? Sheeds might have been onto something there. Cheaper too!

@PatrickMahomes @Royals @tkelce is now in great company. He joins a former Australian Prime Minister doing his best at bowling a cricket ball for the cameras and gathered press 😂😂😂

[Adam Astill @moose_astill]

@rtralphy Would love to hear the reason why goal line video tech similar to VAR in soccer can't be introduced to show the invisible "wall" that is the back of the posts and the line. Would make those "is the ball over the line" calls easier to interpret/ understand for the viewer at home

With virtually whole peloton of heading towards the first sector of cobbles, the first three sectors of #ParisRoubaix2023 could produce anything! Time to "clip in" for the ride #cobbles

[Adam Astill @moose_astill]

Settling in to the best night of the cycling year! Great to have @gcntweet coverage that's ad free on GCN+ for this year's edition of @parisroubaix #cobbles #pavè

@BBakerRacing Best racing themed twitter vid I think I'll see all year. Love it.

@thecastpatrol I said latte, not bloody almond chai!!

Looking forward to the numbers on Monday on #yearroundcarnival @rtralphy from the Tancred. Thought is was a WFA contest. Plenty of horses ended up being in a handicap the way they were positioned with the speed the field went. Faves couldn't win from as far out as the mile 🤢🤢

[Adam Astill @moose_astill]

If @dolphinsnrl get up from this position in the 2nd half, the #NRL couldn't have scripted a better opening round #NRLDolphinsRoosters

Any chance we can build a spin bowling academy in Coober Pedy to nurture and prepare bowlers and batsmen for the next time we go to India for tests? Heat, dirt, dust, no bounce....perfect! ##auscricket

[Adam Astill @moose_astill]

Newsflash:
India did not lose a wicket in the second test to a sweep shot. Lucky to play 3 in the whole second innings.
Australia lost a whole series worth and may as well have gone out there with brooms this morning rather than bats. #INDvAUS

[Adam Astill @moose_astill]

Full credit to India though. Great bowling plans, solid batting on the surface & completely getting inside the Australian teams heads causing complete disintegration on the field. Say what you like about the pitches, India were miles better, Australia were poor and underprepared.
