Moe Best Bets – Tuesday, July 21 

• Craig Sheppard
Tuesday racing heads to Moe, where a competitive card offers a handful of standout betting opportunities. Neds’ Moe Best Bets highlight the runners we’re keen to follow. Race 1 – The Makeup Hub Maiden Plate (1217 METRES) No. 11 Mistressof Mayfair MISTRESS OF MAYFAIR (11) looks ready for a bold showing on debut after five jump outs across several preparations.

NRL Round 20: Dolphins Respond, Sharks Circle & Souths Slip

• Oscar Pannifex
Redcliffe Respond A week is a long time in rugby league – just ask The Dolphins Head Coach Kristian Woolf. After being torn apart by Cronulla in NRL Round 19 the Dolphins did what they needed to do on Sunday afternoon, responding in emphatic fashion to run through the North Queensland Cowboys. To do it after first conceding two early tries is further evidence that this Redcliffe squad is as resilient, connected and capable as any rival looking to play deep into September. Tom Dearden ran riot early to remind Cowboys (and Maroons) fans what they’ve been missing, but Redcliffe…

Every AFL Team as a Character from The Odyssey

• GuyWhoLikesSport
I saw Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey last night.  From a guy that didn’t like Oppenheimer and hasn’t loved a Nolan film since The Dark Knight, holy shit it was so good. Every story beat felt incredibly familiar but it was somehow fresh because of Nolan’s freakish ability to do kind of just enough re-imagining to make himself different. You saw it in the Batman trilogy just like you saw it in putting the Trojan Horse in the water rather than on wheels to make it seem more believable. I don’t generally love his movies, but this one was so good. …

The Socceroos and the Weight of Opportunity 

• GuyWhoLikesSport
A lot has been made of what Mark Milligan and the rest of the SBS crew said about the future of Australian football.  In the aftermath of yet another painful Socceroos World Cup exit, this time against Egypt on penalties, Milligan asked the FFA to decide what it wants to be. When will it decide that just qualifying isn’t enough? When are we going to scale the way that we play so we can compete at the World Cup?  These are the right questions to be asking. They’re also the questions that we asked after we lost to Argentina in Qatar last…
