Put your Whites on......It's Wimbledon time!

Tennis... Yes thats right we're not starting with AFL cause its all about LLeyton! Well most of it anyway.

Hewitt knocked Del Potro,the No. 5 seed out of the Tournament! Commmmmmmmmonnn!..And have a look at the match up. The guy could eat 3 LLeytons!

Let me guess the headlines? David and Goliath, Giant killer? all of the above! We werent sure if Lleyts was in good form as his first round opponent could hardly walk. But his effort is huge, nay sayers hush :-P. And on top of that he has beaten his next opponent to make it to the second week!

Ok nuff Hewitt...Englands favourite Marsupial Andy Murray looks set to challenge Roger.

He's still winning, keeping the Poms happy, but his furrowed brow still makes him look like an angry Marsupial.

Sam Stosur was left to fly the flag for the girls after the hot English sun became too much for Jelena. And we know how hot it can get in England *rolls eyes*. She retired from dizzyness.

And Princess Serena knocked out our Grothy.

Unfortunately Sam was defeated by the little brat, Ivanovic.

But at least Stosur made it passed the first round. There was no way we were gonna let her lose to a chick wearing an evening dress.

& Do you hear that?? Exactly, the sounds of silence. Grunting queen Sharapova is gone thanks to Gisela Dulka. Dulka also gets a mention for beeing smokin hot!...Never seen so many tennis beauties in one tournament, well done ol' chaps, rha rha. Of course, we watch womens tennis cause we like the way they play ;-).

And does'nt the new Wimbledon roof look pretty too?...pitty we don't need it cause it hasn't rained at all yet. Oh well, in the off season it can be used as an obstacle course of really high n fancy monkey bars.

AFL....Obviously Michael Jacksons death got to the Carlton players on Friday night. It wasn't even close! The only other excuse for that performance would be Swine Flu or food poisoning. Then again it didn't affect the Queenslanders in Origin so I guess there is none.

I was never very good at maths but I know that bout 5 No. 1 draft picks + 1 brownlow medalist + 1 whinging full forward STILL = ZERO....................................................................................

And no you can't blame the loss on John Elliot either. Beware of the bombers.

.It gives me great pleasure to say that Hawthorn are no longer a Premiership threat after losing to West Coast. They are however still a threat to themselves and their own shitness (yes I know it's not a real word but thanks to constant shitness from the Hawks, the Oxford Dictionary will be forced to take it on)

Barry Hall goes from thumbs up, to back to the fists. This time he punched an Adelaide Crow, and has nearly punched a player from all 15 teams. This is just a week after claiming to have turned over a new leaf.

When asked why he did it again, he said 'I can't help it, im just

Oh that o'l scapegoat. (may not be actual quote).

.In other news, Richmond kept Stkilda goaless in the first quarter, but that was about all they did. Another thrashing by the Saints sets up an undefeated clash between the Cats and the Saints next week *mouth watering*.........

.F1..There was no GP this week but the FIA has finally given in to the demands of the F1 teams. There will be no breakaway Championship, and so the Normal Championship will resume. This is good news, especially since the Breakaway Championship would not be coming to Melbourne. Instead they were going to go to Adelaide to visit Jason Porplyzia, who is now officially 'Elite'.

Cricket....Sorry we still don't wanna talk about it, its still shamefull. All our hopes rest on young gun Phill Hughes to make us look good in the Ashes. We will try to escape with some dignity after a poor performance in a warm up match.

League Origin....The Queenslanders flogged NSW in embarrassing style to be the first team in history to win 4 successive series. Even with half the team having gastro and losing players during the match, the Blues still couldn't win, much like their AFL namesake. To be honest the game was kind of boring and didn't get lively till a bit of biff started. It kind of woke them all up.

Last but not least, this Monday is Narelles last show on the Sports Lounge in Melbourne. So tune in to for her farewell. 5 years of fabulous service *applause*.

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.

Peace out*

Put your thinking caps on...It's contract time!

AFL...Richmond and North Melbourne are now shopping for new coaches, and many coaches are about to finish up their contracts, but who will go where? And who will be first to snag Bucks?.....
It was revealed this week that Dean Laidly wanted to leave the Kangaroos after the finals last year, but President Brayshaw begged him to stay twice since then. Laidly could quite possibly be the first North Melbourne supporter in history who is not in denial about his teams lack of success. The next coach will most likely be another North Melbourne past player to keep the delusions of grandeur afloat.

Wayne Carey's comeback in a charity match this week lasted all of about 15 minutes, before tearing his calf off a step, pfffffffffft lol. He proved once and for all who the real charity case is. This performance was second only to Sam Newman who once pulled a hamstring in the Commentary box. Or was it in bed kicking off the blankets? Either way it's pretty bad. No chance of reliving the glory days for Wayne.

On saturday night Barry hall does a reverse Cousins on the Umpire, giving him the thumbs up. Just when you thought he was going to turn the other finger. But either way it didnt do anything for the Swans.

Did's fired up in the end after the Pies fall asleep in the 3rd quarter, and the Collingwood snatch the win.

Mick Malthouses 600th game as coach gets a mention too, despite beeing Collingwood related news.

On Friday night Football the only highlight for the Dee's was Liam Jurrah in his first game. His first goal in footy was spectacular and ROBOESQUE.

Brad Green was hurt and we almost had another stretcher incident on our hands for Melbourne, but he decided to walk it off instead.

Geelong didnt have a great win over Freo, but Burnsey gets a mention for kicking 5 goals! Dont think he ever thought he'd be hunted down for a post match interview, but what'dya know! GO Bunga!...Its good for ya tips anyway.

The Porpus has the Bye this week. Footy returns to normal next week.

Tennis...An exhibition match took place between Hewitt and Rapha this week. Just when we thought it was safe to celebrate a Lleyton victory, Nadal has a gimp knee. But we'll take it anyway, go Lleyts ;-). He's still technically our number one man.

Tomic is nowhere to be seen, and Gooch and Looch R in the mix but have missed out on Wimbledon.
Stosur,Groth and Dokic R our top hopes for the biggest tournament of the year.
Wimbledon with a roof!....And with Rapha pulling out of the competition, Roger looks set to be the first man to take the all time Grand Slam total to 15!

F1...The British GP has been won and run. After taking Pole Red Bulls Vettel has won the Race! Not to mention Australia's Mark Webber has taken his 3rd 2nd place! Jenson Button has cracked under the pressure of his home GP finishing 6th, and has possibly started ageing forward from stress.

In shcok news, it looks like there will be a break-away championship with F1's biggest names pulling out of the main compettion. The FIA will likely sue, eek.

Rugby League...State of Origin game 2 is on this week and we will all wait with baited breath to see if the Wolf Man is going to keep the pink beard, or dye it Blue for NSW...Yes we ask the big questions!

Cricket...The 20/20 final is happening between Pakistan and SriLanka. Who will take the crown? Either way at least England didn't get in the Final :-P. We dont need their Ego's inflating before the Ashes.

We talk to ALPHA magazine's Anthony Sharwood about the upcoming Ashes preview issue of the magazine. Last time he revealed all the Meat Pie and Hot Dog hot spots. And all the evil venues charging us for sauce :-/, who knows what he will have in store for us this week.

Soccer....Lat but not least The Socceroos were awsome on Wednesday night against Japan with Tim Cahill scoring 2 goals, after Japan got the first..WOO HOO! We rock!

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.

Peace out*

Put your lycra on...It's biggest Loser Time!

AFL...Does Saturday Night get any bigger than Richmond versus West Coast?? Yes *Sarasm* in case you couldnt tell. The Tigers beat the Eagles in the battle of the Biggest Loser. But at least West Coast lost some weight while trying to win. Richmond are also sponsored by 'Light n easy', this is for 2 reasons; 1. they are light on form, and usually easy to beat, and 2. New Coach Jade Rawlings cut 5 players to slim down the team. But it worked! Pretty lucky coach to have his first challenge as West Coast, almost guaranteed victory. Terry's leaving lookes incredibly justified 'bout now.

West Coast Young gun Natinui also took close to mark of the year...and yes I looked all over the net for a pic of it and this was the closest thing I could find, sorry, not quite it:

Friday night football was on with the Blues taking it right up to the Saints. Their perfect record was almost shattered, but they scored a close win.


Chris Judd managed to brake his nose in the worst possible way, running into a team mate. And whats worse it wouldn't stop bleeding! His blood is all over the Dome. Scientists are still out there collecting samples of his DNA to create a race of super footballers, Gattaca style. It was the first time in history the game was played on a red surface....But even though he kept coming back on the ground, Juddy couldn't save them.

In the warm up before the game, Fev wore headphones and listened to music to escape the fact that he actually plays for Carlton.


The Dogs had a more convincing win over Port witht the largest winning margin for the season at 93 points. The game was almost played under real tropical conditions, except it was in Darwin so there were no Palm Trees, it was just really warm. Either way its more tropical than Adelaide, but it wouldn't be hard.

This split round finishes up next week.

Soccer....The Socceroos have beaten Bahrain already this week. Next they take on Japan in Melbourne this Wednesday.


NRL...What more can we say, the storm March on with Inglis leading the way to victory.


Cricket... And we are just confused, Ireland are still in the competition and winning? Meanwhile the Aussies are long gone. Crazy backwards upside down world hrrrm.

Tennis...Mr Murray snatches victory in the Queens Final, becoming the first Briton to win the Queen's club title since 1938. Well done ol' chap, Ra ra.

Murray defeated James Blake 7-5 6-4.

What was more amazing is that the cup was bigger than his head, his whole body, and the one you get at Wimbldon?? Settle down guys, its just a warm up tournament. Dont peak too early, geez.

Radiothon!...Don't forget this week is Radiothon on the Sports Lounge. Please sign up or renew your membership cause otherwise we will not be able to afford our lovely Joy studios, and we will have to broadcast from a sewage farm in Werribe. Please don't make us go back there.

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.


Peace out*

Put your breasts on....It's Women's Round!

AFL.. It Women's round in the AFL and Narelle and I are a bit unsure of what we're actually supposed to do for the occaision??..Brendon suggested we wear pink poncho's or something, but I dont see that happening without good reason. Either way I hope we can contribute something & well done to all the girls who do.

In light of the AFL's new villification rules to include 'Sexual Orientation' I think a new round should be named in it's honour. Boh has suggested 'Fag Round', but we cant forget the girls, so it will be 'Fag and Lesbo Round'. And we can't forget the rest of our community either so 'F&L' Round will be followed by M to F Transexual, F to M Transexual, Bisexual then Tansvestite Round, where all the players must play in stillettos....Ok maybe we're asking too much. We'll start smaller, but maybe someday :-P.

For now Women's footy will carry the flag for the minorities, with our Victorian team crushing the favoured WA team 100 to 4! Ahh Victoria you are Gold! We love it when you surprise us, you're so sweet and thoughtful *blush*...They then followed up by beating Queensland 48 to 7.

Back to the Lads now, and the Swine Flu delusions continue with Carlton winning on the road for the first time this year. Judd saves the day and Fev finished with 8. Freo almost created the 2nd delusion, but Port Adelaide fired back in the second half.

Sunday was a little too close for the Cats liking, with West Coast finishing only 22 points behind. Essendon and Adelaide battled it out in match of the round, with the honours going to the Crows for Tyson Edwards 300th game. We tip our hats to the Crows for a mighty win, and to tippet for 7 goals.

There is still one game to go on Queens birthday Monday between the Pies and the Dee's at the G. It's a day game, so it won't matter if the lights accidently go out this week. But if it get's dark at least Jack Watt's will be good for something...Ah c'mon gimme some :-P.

NRL....And what a state of Origin match between Queensland and NSW! Well it was a great game untill the Ref blew his whistle, but isn't it always? Not sure if the video Ref has a brain let alone a whistle. The Blues were robbed of the opening Try which broke their spirit for the next half.

No S*#t! Can you show us where his knee is too?....His heel could be in the air, and I think they call that benefit of the doubt you yahoo's!
After that debacle, Queensland turned it on and it looked to be a thrashing untill NSW hit back and made a game of it. It went almost to the wire but the Maroons scored the sealer to give the favourites victory in Game 1.

Well you can say Queensland won, but they couldn't have done it without the Melbourne Storms Greg Inglis and Billy Slater. So Really you can almost say Victoria won Origin Game 1, and we werent even in the comp! Phenomenal!....We will anyway :-P. Those boys followed up two days later to give Melbourne a big win over the Bronco's.

As for the Panthers clash Guernsey....I felt like I was back in the 80's for 80 minutes. Which is not all a bad thing, except its a shocker of a design!

And you will never beat the original 80's wear of the Fluorescent dragons
:-P:

Tennis....Nadal and his pink shirt left the building early this week, which is good becuase it was really clashing horribly with the burnt Sienna clay surface.

Ahhh Roger You've done it again!....R-Fed beats the man who knocked out Nadal to claim his first French Open title ever. This brings him equal with Pete Sampras with 14 Slams. You the Man Rog! But still more tears this time :-s... Sorry Pete, we like America but we can't have have a Yank as the greatest player of all time, give the rest of the world some hope.

In the Women's it was an all Russian affair, and we were going for Safina because Kusnetsova knocked out our Sam. But she also knocked out Serena so she gets bonus points :-). Kusnetsova claimed the title so Tennis has a new Queen! Either way both girls are more gracefull than the last one, but it wouldn't be hard.

Cricket....Ohh Andrew Symonds, you are to Cricket, what Ben Cousins is to Footy...On your last chance warning with alcohol and you stuff it up again!...Apparently he was watching the state of Origin Rugby at the time of the incident, so we can't blame him for wanting a beer or 2, but what happened after that remains a mystery. Calm down Symo, your team won!

This leaves the door open for Hodgey and means the Board is runing out of excuses not to pick him. How can you say he missed out when there is a new spot open hrrrm?...Let me guess, you're not going to pick him because he can't bowl too? Im sure you will find a reason to come up with another replacement. Who cares if they're an underachiever, as long as they're an all rounder ey;-) .

.As for the 20/20 World cup, I'm not sure we want to talk about the embarrasment. Warner was good with 63 from 53 balls to give us a nice start, but the West Indies were on well over 100 after 10 overs. Chris Gayle his a huge 88 from 50 balls!...Can anyone say with me; Hodgey? Symonds? Come back???

F1...And what a great way to kick off Holiday Monday. Mark Webber (starting 4th on the Grid) finishes 2nd behind Button, with teammate Vettel 3rd in the Turkish Grand Prix. Well done to Jensen, but dude It's getting old now.... Let the Champagne fly woo hoo!

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.

Peace out*
