With Tasmania Devils pathway manager Cameron Joyce leaving his post to coach Gold Coast’s AFLW side, there’s an important vacancy to fill for the future of Tasmanian football development. In the wake of this, the coaches of the Tasmanian State Leagye have voiced their opinions on the current state of the Devils program and highlight potential candidates for the vacant role. Kingborough Tigers coach Trent Baumeler reacted to suggestion the vacancy could be his, reinforcing the loyalty with his current side. “Not for me personally, I’ve made a commitement to a group of players,” he said. “I could never see myself turning my back on this group and searching for greener pastures.” First year TSL senior coach   Daniel Willing is still adjusting to his new role and wants to solidify his position at Lauderdale. “With how I’ve been thrust into the position I’m in at the moment, my concentration lies (at Lauderale),” he said. “I’m a Lauderdale Football Club person now. I’m in discussion with th

After an extended break due to the most recent COVID outbreak in Melbourne, the Supercars returned in fine form with the Merlin Darwin Triple Crown. Championship leader Shane Van Gisbergen and his team had a rare stumble in the Saturday race, but bounced back on Sunday with back-to-back victories. The round kicked off with a bang, as Anton De Pasquale put in an impressive lap to qualify on pole for race 12. His hopes were quickly dashed as he found himself in a five car pile up at the first turn. Chaz Mostert gained seven places to grab his second win of the season. Cameron Waters’ second and Nick Percat’s third made it just the second podium of the season without a Red Bull driver. Mostert’s win came through the virtue of other drivers misfortunes and clean air. “We saw some other people have bad luck for a change… clean air is obviously key for the series at the moment,” he said. Third place in race 12 is Percat’s best result of the season so far. There was some controversy post race

On the eve of the 2021 British Grand Prix the 2022 Formula 1 car has been officially revealed to the public. While each team will develop its own interpretation of the vehicle, it will be the basis for the future of the sport. The need for a drastic change in machinery has come from widespread criticism of the recent racing spectacle. The best eye candy for F1 fans is seeing 300kph cars battling bumper-to-bumper. Over the past decade, F1 cars have struggled to stick close behind each other and close the gap enough to pass. The minds behind the 2022 regulations insist the new car will provide better racing with a ‘revolution in aerodynamics’. Downforce is the key factor in providing F1 cars with the grip required to race at incredible speeds. Currently, when behind each other F1 cars they can lose 50% of their downforce due to dirty air from the lead driver. The innovators of the new machine predict cars in 2022 will only lose around 20% of their downforce in the same situation. Formula

  For more than 90 years, Monaco has served up some spectacular racing at the glittering Monte Carlo harbour, but just how good is it today? When the F1 calendar is released each year there are several races that fans highlight. This can be their home Grand Prix, or some of the races almost guaranteed to serve up good racing, such as Silverstone, Azerbaijan and Spa. Many fans circle Monaco as one of their most anticipated races, but should they? Does the Monaco GP still have the entertainment value to match the highest tier of racing circuits? The governing body of Formula 1 (FIA) state that the specifications for track width should be between 12-15 metres to avoid congestion. On average, Monaco is 9-10 metres wide with its narrowest point being the between the swimming pool complex and Rascasse at seven metres. Over the last 20 years, the average number of overtakes at each Grand Prix is roughly 25-30. The average number of overtakes at Monaco is 10-15. Due to its tight nature and sho
