Weekend is around the corner.. Some big events coming up..
From domestic, of course we'll get sucked into the finals of NRL and/or AFL (I don't follow AFL at all but I know it's pretty big here).. I reckon Cowboys and Roosters will get the job done and set blockbuster semifinals : Roosters Vs Broncos, Cowboys Vs Storms..

From international section, we have Davis Cup coming up.. Can the Aussie young guns handle Andy Murray and his GB team?? I surely hope so.. Last time I heard, Tomic is back into squad and Kyrgios is out.. That's not really a bad thing considering the recent events that's been happening..
Soccer is always busy with the European League going.. Chelsea playing Arsenal will be an interesting match to watch...

Yeap, the top 4 teams to go through to the Prelim :

Rooters and Cowboys to win, Hawks and Swans get through as well.

And whatever happens, there will be NO footy in both Sydney and Melbourne next weekend. Correction, that's No AFL in Melbourne but Melbourne Storms will be hosting the Cowboys/Sharks. Broncos at SunCorp and double header again over at Perth.

If all goes to plan:

The AFL Grand Final will be between West Coast Eagles and the Hawks.

And the NRL Grand Final will be Broncos and Storms (a Queensland Derby basically..............hahha)!

May all the top teams win !!

If it is indeed Broncos playing Storms in the grand finale, We all will be watching a wrestling game... The best defensive teams in the league playing each other? But My money is with The Roosters to win the premiership..

Good bye Adam Goodes ... and thanks.
Regardless of what you think of his politics there is no denying the fact that Adam Goodes was a brilliant footballer.
2 Brownlow Medals, a Premiership, excellent ruckman, great forward; a big man with strength, speed and agility.
I am not a Swans fan, but I love AFL and watching Goodes in full flight was always a treat - even when he was demolishing my team.
Good luck Goodsie ... and thanks.

Great result for Aussie Dan in the Formula 1 in Singapore too, especially in a car that's been underpowered all season.

Jason Day crushing it, winning the BMW Championship and reaching the World #1 ranking in Golf.

Our Davis Cup team was demolished by Andy Murray, practically single handedly (he played in 3 matches n won all of them)... Better luck next year..

39-0 ! ! Fucking great attack they've got, yeah.

The final scores were 3-2 to GB !

The double match was the key and Hewitt and Groth took the Murray brothers to 5 sets and played very well for 4 hours ! Nothing to be ashamed of when there is a world no 3 player on the other side of the net !

Good result for the Wallabies against a potential bogey squad; and we still didn't get a bonus point.

Fingers crossed we build up momentum from here on in. The RSA/JAP game showed us there's no easy games in the Rugby World Cup!

Will be hard to beat England at home and Wales in what is almost a home game too (lucky it's not in Cardiff).
We probably have to win at least one of those games to go through to the QFs, and some bonus points against the weaker teams will be handy too.
Why do Aussie teams always cop the "group of death" in every sport???

Pocock scored twice in the first half both off two rolling mauls, one on one right and one on the left, powerful stuff! I went to sleep at half time thinking a 20-30 points win to be had and the final score line this morning of 28-13 was a bit disappointing to be honest !

2 blockbuster games this weekend for NRL lovers..
Broncos playing Roosters Friday night
Storms taking Cowboys the next day
I think we all know the home teams will be favourites.. Although I won't be surprised if we're gonna watch Roosters Vs Cowboys in the grand finale.. Personally, that's what I'm hoping...

So that's my pick.. Roosters Vs Cowboys in the grand finale.

Not many happening in tennis this weekend, some small tournaments towards the end of the season.. There'll be a few Masters events next month..

NBA hasn't started yet, I'm super excited for the new season...

We've always struggled in the scrums against northern hemisphere sides; the wallabies have this perception of being soft at the contact, and I feel there's a real psychological edge over us in that department. When have we had a truly dominant front row in the last 10 years?

We've always opted for faster, mobile front rowers to be quick off the breakdown and sustain pressure going forward, but often at the cost of being outmuscled in the scrummaging. Only the Boks and the All-blacks seem to have managed to balance those two needs well. Hard to say how we'll do against England to be honest!

Here are some predictions.
AFL Premiers Hawthorn Hawks
NRL Premiers Melbourne Storm
World Rugby Cup Champions England.
This was all revealed to me in a dream; a beautiful 190cm Mongolian girl with perfect skin and DD cup tits told me everything ...
the dream went a bit fuzzy after this but I am pretty sure the rest was ...
European Cup - Italy
UEFA Champions league Real Madrid
Europa cup - a Spanish team - very fuzzy - maybe a Basque team

The Brisbane Broncos was awesome tonight : 31-12 over the choking chooks ! We can win the Grand Final next Sunday !

The way we trashed the NSW Blues in Origin 3 was a sign of things to come ! Anyone surprised that there is no NSW teams left in the finals !

It's Queenslanders vs Queenslanders every where !

And Yes, the Hawks will win 3 in a row !

I loved every minute of last nights game...the first minute was sensational ! I think SKD has played his last game for the Roosters, given the domestic violence stuff hanging over his head and his gift to the Broncos in last nights first minute.
