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\u2019ve been missing, but Redcliffe&hellip;<\/div>\n            <span class='read-more slide-text-color'>Read More<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n   \n  <\/a>\n<\/article>            <\/div>\n                    <!-- <\/div> -->\n                    <!-- <div class=\"latest-news-grid\"> -->\n                      <div class=\"latest-news__grid-item grid-item-4\">\n              <article class=\"news-card latest-news-card latest-news-card__column hoverable  post-88450 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-australian-rules category-guywholikessport category-special-interest\">\n  <a class=\"article-wrapper track-me\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neds.com.au\/blog\/2026\/07\/every-afl-team-as-a-character-from-the-odyssey\/\" aria-label=\"Read article: Every AFL Team as a Character from The Odyssey\" \n    data-tr-action=\"view article\" data-tr-event=\"blog\" data-tr-method=\"latest news card\" data-tr-label=\"Every AFL Team as a Character from The Odyssey\" >\n    <div class=\"hoverable-thumb thumbnail__aspect-ratio thumbnail__\"> \n        \n      <div class=\"thumbnail-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neds.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Kingy-876x494.webp\" alt=\"Every AFL Team as a Character from The Odyssey\" role=\"presentation\"><\/div>\n             <span class=\"post-category\" style=\"\">GuyWhoLikesSport<\/span>    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n      <h2 class=\"article-title\">Every AFL Team as a Character from The Odyssey<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"meta\">\n\t<time class=\"updated\" datetime=\"2026-07-20T00:56:58+00:00\">Yesterday<\/time><span class=\"author\"> &#149; GuyWhoLikesSport<\/span>\n<\/div>      <div class=\"article-excerpt\">I saw Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey last night.&nbsp; From a guy that didn\u2019t like Oppenheimer and hasn\u2019t loved a Nolan film since The Dark Knight, holy shit it was so good.

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.

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.

Every story beat felt incredibly familiar but it was somehow fresh because of Nolan\u2019s 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\u2019t generally love his movies, but this one was so good.&nbsp;&hellip;<\/div>\n            <span class='read-more slide-text-color'>Read More<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n   \n  <\/a>\n<\/article>            <\/div>\n                      <div class=\"news-item grid-item-3\">\n              <article class=\"news-card latest-news-card latest-news-card__column hoverable  post-87879 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-guywholikessport category-soccer category-special-interest\">\n  <a class=\"article-wrapper track-me\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neds.com.au\/blog\/2026\/07\/the-socceroos-and-the-weight-of-opportunity\/\" aria-label=\"Read article: The Socceroos and the Weight of Opportunity\u00a0\" \n    data-tr-action=\"view article\" data-tr-event=\"blog\" data-tr-method=\"latest news card\" data-tr-label=\"The Socceroos and the Weight of Opportunity\" >\n    <div class=\"hoverable-thumb thumbnail__aspect-ratio thumbnail__\"> \n        \n      <div class=\"thumbnail-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neds.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pop-876x657.avif\" alt=\"The Socceroos and the Weight of Opportunity\u00a0\" role=\"presentation\"><\/div>\n                 <\/div>\n    <div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n      <h2 class=\"article-title\">The Socceroos and the Weight of Opportunity\u00a0<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"meta\">\n\t<time class=\"updated\" datetime=\"2026-07-05T21:47:00+00:00\">6 Jul<\/time><span class=\"author\"> &#149; GuyWhoLikesSport<\/span>\n<\/div>      <div class=\"article-excerpt\">A lot has been made of what Mark Milligan and the rest of the SBS crew said about the future of Australian football.&nbsp; In the aftermath of yet another painful Socceroos World Cup exit, this time against Egypt on penalties,&nbsp;Milligan asked the FFA to decide what it wants to be.&nbsp;When will it decide that just qualifying isn\u2019t enough?
