This year, footy demands scoring, it’s like in the 90s when, after Reservoir Dogs, movies suddenly had to be funny and faster paced. Or now in the Tik-Tok world, where things really have to be fast paced or else you’re going the way of Elon Musk in the White House – obsolete. You can see…
I wrote this column about Sydney in Round 16 last year, when they were 13-2. The fault I identified for Sydney was that, in both of their losses, their opponents took more than 100 marks. That benchmark indicated that if it wasn’t a Swans game – chaotic and frenetic – then they’d lose. They were…
Chelsea are preparing to close the curtains on what has been a completely ordinary and lacklustre campaign that is silently dripping in success. Champions League football secured next season, and one final chance to claim European glory in the Conference League this Thursday (AEST). Levi Colwill confirms Champions League qualification for @ChelseaFC!pic.twitter.com/2lh0dQC9XW — Premier League…
My relationship with GWS has been like dating someone you know is a fixer-upper: smart, exciting, fun—but with one fatal flaw that makes it impossible to work. The Giants are that girl.

After a wasted 2024, my beloved Tigers are 10 rounds into a rebuild and things are going better than I thought they would. I’m not alone, you could feel it at the MCG on Sunday afternoon. I went with a North Melbourne fan, and I had two more in front of me. I, and the…
The Swans have come to Dr LikesSport. This time last year, they were 9-1 with a percentage of 155 and had just beaten Carlton by nine goals. This year, they’re 4-6 with a percentage of 99 and required Isaac Heeney to strap on the cape in the second half to beat a worse Carlton team…
For Real Madrid, who are 15-time UCL winners if they haven’t reminded you already, it’s been a season to forget. And while we say it’s been a season to forget, for the Real Madrid faithful, it will be a season hard to forget. With Sunday morning’s El Clásico defeat, FC Barcelona have nine fingers on…
Watching Riley Thilthorpe physically define The Showdown on Saturday night, I thought back to 40 Year-Old-Virgin. Riley Thilthorpe was MASSIVE in last night's Showdown for @Adelaide_FC, equalling a career-high before half time to have a huge say on the final result 💪 The three biggest talking points out of #AFLPortCrows ✍️ https://t.co/Q6br7GWky6 pic.twitter.com/Vlti06GLOS — Fox…
