It’s a FIFA World Cup year!
The Greatest Sporting Event on Earth is around 120 days away, and we’re sending the Australian squad for the fourth consecutive tournament after the hellish saga that was Asian qualifying.
There’s zero chance we win the tournament, but (despite all the naysaying) it really is remarkable that Australia made the tournament at all with the squad we have and the lack of support it receives.
Getting on my high horse for the Melbourne Cup
The Melbourne Cup is upon us.
It is Australia’s Greatest Race (except most of us can’t remember who won last year), and it’s the race that stops the Nation (except for the 80% of the country who don’t get a public holiday).

From a simpler time
Now?
Not so much.
An Open Letter to George R.R. Martin: Please kill Khaleesi
Dear George R.R. Martin,
I want you to kill Khaleesi.
Kill her, George.
Kill her, and don’t have her come back. No resurrection, please.
Because the series will be so much more INTERESTING once she’s gone.
You see, George, the “Endgame” of the series is what fascinates me most.

If every AFL team was a Game of Thrones character
With Season 7 of Game of Thrones nearly upon us, it’s time to ask the obvious questions:
