Kudos to Fox Sports for this great interview with Port Adelaide Power’s Daniel Motlop.
Motlop, as AFL fans would be aware, is possessed with some downright freakish skills.
Crikey Sports is a big fan of his — but even we were completely gobsmacked at this man’s Ronaldinho-esque abilities — with an oval ball.

Genital Warts.
Is this the point where Mark Nicholas says “Oh Boy. Who writes his scripts?”.
Ashes 09: The Squad
May 21, 2009 – 9:43 am
The squad is out. Shane Watson is a batsman now, his groin and back can’t hold him back, his investment in moving to NSW Wales for next season has already paid off. Andrew McDonald has been retained as Ricky’s good luck charm. Nathan Hauritz is going over as the net bowler. Brad Hodge will be [...]
Shaun Tait’s treatment
May 19, 2009 – 11:49 am
When Cricket Australia said to Shaun Tait that he was banned from playing in the IPL because he was coming back from injury, I thought that was fair enough. Obviously they wanted him for the World 2020 thingy, and they are protecting him. Then he missed out on that selection, and I thought it seemed [...]
The NRL Board needs greater diversity

By Marina Go
Crikey Sports is delighted to bring you a guest post via The New 30, a blog by editor and publisher Marina Go.

I googled “NRL Board” because I wanted to see if there were any women at the top of an organisation badly in need [...]
The side that should win the Ashes
May 18, 2009 – 9:31 am
I have tried to pick a team that Australia can win the Ashes with using the most obvious members of the squad (even if it hasn’t been picked yet).
They wont use my team, but I think that if Australia used this team then England would have to play out of their skin to win.
This isn’t [...]
Crikey Sports Q&A: Gold Coast FC coach Guy McKenna
May 14, 2009 – 6:32 pm
In the first of hopefully a regular series, Crikey Sports had the pleasure to speak to Guy McKenna — who will be the inaugural coach of the Gold Coast Football Club which will enter the AFL in 2011.
LEIGH JOSEY: Thanks for your time Guy; I’m assuming life in the Gold Coast is keeping you [...]
Know your audience
May 11, 2009 – 10:52 am
Matt at Green and Gold Rugby talks about thick necked chaps alot.
Some of you might like it.
But regardless of how you feel about necks, you will like his post about a conversation he had with an American Sports ‘writer’.
The ‘writer’ contacted Matt so that his book could get a free plug. The book was about [...]

Crikey’s NRL Hot Form Chart
Representative football begins which means the first of seven abbreviated rounds in 2009’s NRL calendar. And how a number of key players pull up following Friday night’s test will be critical to their clubs’ chances.
The biggest ask probably lies with Johnathan Thurston and North Queensland. Backing up 24 hours after an [...]
Manou is a ghost
May 8, 2009 – 8:59 am
There was once a time when Australia would never tour England with one wicket keeper.
Nowadays they figure that one is enough, and if they need the second one they will fly him there within 48 hours.
A side effect of the one keeper problem is that no one knows who the back up keeper is at [...]
