Didn’t watch the Brownlow last night as i went out for dinner but when i heard the news, it was Patrick Cripps who won the medal. When I heard his name called out, I felt that he might have won the medal, however he has escaped with a 2-week suspension for his hit on Lions player, Calum Ah Chee. I felt that this was a controversial win.
Great job from Alex Lee to get the difficult secret song last night on Spicks and Specks. First time neither Alan or Myf has worked it out so that makes it even more impressive.
I watched the SBS2 ‘Cracking The Code’ doco, not expecting much but it proved to be an excellent production highlighting a remarkable and largely unsung American heroine-would make the basis for a great Hollywood film IMHO. Will be looking forward to the Zodiac killer ep next week!
TARA is too drawn out especially with 5 teams in isolation. I know they can’t help teams getting Covid but when 5 teams are in isolation some of the fun and tension leaves the show, and 90min episode is too long
Watched some of the Brownlow, but it seemed even more drawn out than usual so switched the block half way through (I’m in Perth). The betting segments didn’t feel appropriate and brought the whole show down for me. It was one of the reasons I switched to the block. Well done to Patrick, a very worthy winner.
