Commonwealth Games

Not Since 1850 has an Australian had a better chance of leaving Victoria - Gold nugget in hand.

Lets face it turning up to your sporting event at the commonwealth games as an Australian will pretty much guarantee you a medal of some description, and more than likely GOLD.

It must be really strenuos to dive into a pool and beat some native from Lesotho who only saw water for the first time 6 weeks ago, or you could go lawn bowling against the team from Montserrat who have been practicing with lava rocks down on the beach.

I dont mean any disrespect to any athletes, given if I had a semi amount of sporting ability and the will to get off my arse id be there and proud aswell. So as soon as Darts is a recognised sport ill be putting in the hard training hours needed down at the local pub.

Lets face it Australias sporting dominance over the other countries of the commonwealth is no hidden secret, as for South africa saying they are going to beat us this time i wanna know at what? a sooking contest? maybe hookey? all i know is it wont be something that happens with any regularity.


South Africa better get used to seeing this flying above the dias

As for the opening ceremony, how many tax dollars just went up in smoke? what is with Cathy Freeman being given the same respects as Herb Elliot and Marjorie Jackson in the baton relay? as far as i remember Cathy won one olympic gold medal, plenty of other Australian athletes have done that, why didnt they get to run the baton in? maybe they could all run a lap? wed have enough to keep the baton moving for another month yet.


Dean Lukin should have ran the baton in

This Patriotic Ocker will be watching the Commonwealth games, beer in hand and enjoying the demolition job.
For a country of only 20 million we should be getting beat up by countries like South Africa, India and England. But when that medal tally after 11 days of competition is displayed i know who will be on top, by a long way, and ill be loving it.

Australia Rules!
