Back into the wilderness is the now sacked Forest coach, Ange Postecoglou, after only just 39 days in the job. Only one of many crazy narratives to dive into on The Sports Desk. Jean-Philippe Mateta nets a hat-trick in Crystal Palace's draw with Bournemouth. Erling Haaland sinks Everton all on his own, Arsenal take another win on the killing road, and Liverpool fall to Man United 2-1, the Red Devils first win in Anfield in 10 years.
The question is asked again for AFLW fans. Who can seriously stop North Melbourne? Cases are made for the Demons and the Hawks, as well as a Round 10 review.
In F1, not since Wrestlemania 41 has a triple threat battle had this high stakes with Max Verstappen's big victory in Texas carving a potential path generational comeback to a 5th world title. Oscar Piastri's form continues to slip, and the second placed, Lando Norris, isn't carrying the same burden as the current leader or the 3rd placed title chaser, which could entail an incremental closing of the gap and claim the ultimate prize for McLaren and Britain.
That's The Sports Desk, with Ethan Rigg, Jack Huggett, Ella Zammit and Yianni Kottaras
