I'm absolutely blown away anyone watches big bash. It's the most soulless forced crap I've ever seen. I can't stand T20, it's a fad as far as I'm concerned. If you need fireworks to keep people entertained it says a lot about the sport.

+x+xAnyone know how the big bash is going? Article on AL in the Guardian talks about relative viewing audiences for the big bash and AL on the weekend. Made for depressing reading So cricket is still more popular than football in Australia? Well I never... ;)

If you need fireworks to keep people entertained it says a lot about the sport. I think most people have started to realise this as well, attendances have decreased, tv ratings lowered, the general word and talk of the competition seems at an all time low. The novelty factor was the only factor in attracting spectators to watch, now they tried to make full length longer seasons, as if its a people actually follow these teams each week, which very minimal people do.

Timely that we dig this thread up again. Melbourne likely to extend current lock down, will impact on the three Melbourne teams, although fortunately they are all pretty much dead rubbers, so doesn't really matter where they get played.

For the record, both Roar & Victory have actual reasons for their nicknames. Weak reasons maybe, but they're not completely "plucked out of the air" nicknames.
Brisbane: They were originally Brisbane Lions / Queensland Lions in the NSL & Queensland state league. Sold their name to the AFL team when they were rebranded from the old Brisbane Bears. (IIRC) At the start of the A-League they had a public vote for a Lion-related name for their new A-League side. I thought "Pride" was a better name (it worked on two levels), but "Roar" was the selected name.
Victory: Its a combination of a generic "success" type nickname (like Glory) and the name of the state they are from: Victoria.

+xTimely that we dig this thread up again.

The Melbourne derby can go ahead because it is all Melbourne. Just no fans which means no real change The WU and CCM game should be allowed to go ahead because NSW did not close their border to Victoria and no word of players being caught up in venues / isolation The postponed game has no impact on the table given MC have finished first and there is no relegation. To avoid holding up the finals this could simply be declared a draw and shared points It is likely Melbourne will still be under restrictions when the finals are expected to start in the second week of June (given they are scheduled to end in the current format by 11 June but that is just an easing back of restrictions). City should relocate ASAP so they dont get caught up in a lockdown. This is far from over

To be honest, since the pandemic started I have stopped betting and I have begun to gamble instead. However, I have noticed that there is a lack of good sites to gamble and it took me some time till I have found this one https://wolfwinnercasino.com/ which besides an app has also a good mobile-optimized site which for me it is very important. Plus, it has a lot of payment options and I have never had problems with withdrawal.

During the pandemic, many sports were affected, some of them went online, just like the rest of us. Then we all had to be more careful and play at home at https://vegas7.casino it's always warm and lots of games
