    150 medals up for grabs in the pool. That's where you pour funding to pad your medal tally.

    Fucking Australia.

    Apart from Sophie Pascoe, our swimming funding gets us very little I reckon

    Given previous performances at competitions though, they hardly have a leg to stand on.

    Should be just a single medal for men's and women's comps (and para) (and trans) ...

    Although seriously I think Butterfly can go. You ain't choosing to swim butterfly in any situation other than a swimming comp.

    Julia Ratcliffe just won GOLD in the women's hammer. Aussies silver and bronze. Awesome!

    We're killing it these games. Well done that ball and chain chucker.

    Not sure what our "usual" tally is.

    Will have to Google.

    We won 14 golds and 45 medals in total last time.
    How many realistic gold medal chances do we have left?

    You ask me that two days ago I'd not have mentioned Ratcliffe or Liti.

    At least McCartney and Adams.

    No I wouldn’t bet the house on either the 7s or netball to come through for us..

    She's a bright girl too, studying at Princeton.

    Some of the squash doubles combos - Coll and King? Mountainbikers should be decent shots. Bowls - esp. Edwards and Smith. Shooting - whatsername.

    Swimming is a joke. "I'm the fastest doing the technical doggy paddle" Whoppee fuckin' do. The point is to be quickest over a distance. At the same time they can get rid of walking as a sport. Learn to run weirdo.

    Why is Bailey Mes in the team/on the court. She is a liability - shooting yips when she dares to take a shot.

    @virgil Poms are trying to choke, but we're too shit to take advantage.

    At least they got Mes off the court.

    No one should be surprised at the netball result.

    According to the Stuff blog, if Uganda can beat Scotland by 37 goals, they will progress to the semifinals ahead of NZ.

    The Silver Ferns are a giant clusterfuck and have been since Southby took over as coach. The defence do some great things, then our midcourt fuck it up, or if it makes it to the circle, useless shooters like Mes or Selby-Rickitt don't convert. They are not international standard. If you are regularly shooting at less than 85% +, you have no business playing this level.

    I actually hope Uganda pull it off against Scotland. Would take a miracle in terms of the goal differential they need (I think it's like 37 goals) but the Silver Ferns don't deserve to make the semis.
