1500 to go aussie 3rd

 

[lewdogs]

This is actually the most astute post here. I've been thinking about this clutch losing mentality in the country for a number of years now.

It wasn't true 20 years ago, why? Those kids were born to Dads who fought in Vietnam, grandads in WW2 and a great deal of economic hardship and battling in between.

It's not the same anymore and privilege and wealth has brought us skill and talent but no real guts to hold out Tobruk.

If you actually believe that I feel sorry for you.

What time is that?

Locked in for 7 days and this loss.

Ringing up lifeline soon I tell ya.

Sport can be deadly for the mind.

maybe a little overdramatic (i hope you are)

But yes, August 5, 2021 we had terrific chances to claim major scalps.

Damn Burras that would have put us on record amount of gold

I'm pessimistic going into that one. Better to set yourself up to be pleasantly surprised than bitterly disappointed.

We'll end with a bronze in basketball and a gold in the beach volleyball. I'm feeling good about these things.

I like your optimism, especially with the Boomers, history has not been kind to them. Today's loss was disappointing (moreso the way we lost rather than who we lost to) but a bronze would still be an excellent result.

Slovenia? Limit Luka's influence and a win is likely. I don't have much faith in us beating France, especially given their size.

True, but basketball is a game where one player can have a substantial amount of influence.
