I think the Hawks have lost a couple to injury for the first part of the season.

Yeah.. Will Day, the mercurial centreman has succumbed to a complex collarbone dislocation what will keep him out for the first half of the season. With James Worpel moving to Geelong, it will be up to Jai Newcombe ("the boy from Poowong") as a centreman and half back Josh Weddle, fast becoming a superstar, to plug that gap. With James Sicily not yet training properly from memory due to a hip injury, the centre and half back line will look a little wobbly. 

 

Will Day has spent more time injured than playing, it seems like. I wonder if his bidy is up to the physicality of AFL.

Talking of betting on sports, online bookies are making it difficult for country jockey clubs to keep operating. With the ability to place bets using an app while at the racetrack, less money is going through the TAB, whose profits are fed back into country racing. That means less mon allocated to country clubs so prize money is less while the costs of operating meetings continues to rise.
