Depends where we finish in our pool...and that's undecided (and somewhat out of our hands)

Believe you are on the right pathway Macdub.

AUS have a great chance of getting to top 4.

I might be wrong here but I see the path as:

Australia vs Turkey round of 16 - could argue that Aus would be favourites.

Australia vs. Slovenia or Lithuania in Quarters - already beaten LTU and Slovenia rematch is very winnable.

That would get the Boomers into the top 4? Or are there multiple games in the quarters? I.e. a round robin?

We have been playing matador defence at times anyway (cue Andersen jokes...)

Knowing my luck, I"ll bet on Angola to win and Australia will probably somehow win.

I mean think about it, it must be fairly hard to purposely lose a game.

Can't really purposely miss shots.

Just have to play matador defence I suppose.

Angola paying $5.50 for the win over there.

Surprised the TAB NZ haven't removed the betting options.

No, Australia cannot come top.

The equation is simple. We want to wish for:

1. A loss to Angola, with Lithuania to win; or

2. A win to Angola, with Lithuania to win by 8+.

Any other combination of results, we finish second and play against the US in the quarter finals (if we get there).

Obviously 1 above makes the equation easier for Lithuania - therefore tank away Australia!

It is so un-Australian to throw a game or lay down like Sally and I hate the thought.

However the potential benefits are almost too irresistible to ignore.

Going straight to the TAB. $100 on Angola to win.

Is this dumb?

Not much chat about this one?

Dragons got up by 13 or so after Worthington made a late run and finished with 27. Looks like Burston and Horvath didn't play that much - 20 minutes between them. I'm guessing Worthington was able to cover Hinder and Susnjara and allow the Dragons to run a smaller and faster squad?

Any interstate people get to the game?

Dicko, I got a text from DJ saying that you participated in a time out competition? What was the prize?
