    by

    ,

    The GWS Giants had a chance to advance to the AFL Finals Series, which is known as their version of the playoffs. While Round 24 of the 2023 Season served as the regular season finale. With so many other teams vying for the same postseason spots, the Giants had to work extremely hard to perform at their best. If the Giants defeat the Carlton Blues, they will earn the final space to play them in a rematch, however if they fail to do therefore, they could find themselves eliminated. Carlton coach Michael Voss has displayed confidence and bravery in the Blues to have a successful season and return to the top eight on the league. Carlton coach Michael Voss had displayed faith and bravery in the Blues to have a successful season, and returning to the top 8 ladder was an attainable reality to return to the AFL Finals. The Giants struggled in the first half of the season, but coach Adam Kingsley has given everything he has to help the squad turn it into something and have a winning run in the second half of the 2023 season. The Great Western Sydney Giants had never given up on themselves and held at least the final ticket to the 2023 AFL Finals Tournament because they had never lost hope in their ability to perform a miracle even the 7 game winning streak. The Giants had made their last journey in the AFL Finals Tournament in 2019, while the Carlton Blues were making their first appearance since 2013. The Giants needed to decide whether or not a victory would benefit the squad as a whole. The match was place at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Victoria.

    The match began with Josh Kelly of the GWS Giants taking a behind, but Jack Carroll booted the ball into the goal, giving the Blues an early lead. Then Adam Saad booted it to two Carlton players and passed it to Charlie Curnow, who had the ball inside the 50-metre circle, to give Carlton another goal to increase their advantage. Following a brief period of victory, Callan Ward of the Giants booted the ball at the 50-metre line to score a goal for his team. It was short-lived after Charlie Curnow made a stunning catch from a long kick, allowing Carlton to seize control. Three Giants players made several rapid passes, and one of them found Lachlan Keeffe, who assisted the team in scoring another goal. In the meanwhile, Tom Green handed the ball to Jake Riccardi and dropped it, allowing Toby Greene to recover it and score a goal for the GWS Giants. With a behind, Toby Greene was able to narrow the gap to one point, but his effort was temporary since Carlton’s Matthew Owies scored a goal just before the first quarter’s conclude.

    As the second quarter got underway, the Giants’ Toby Bedford rescued the ball by the Toyota logo before passing it to Harry Rowston, Lachie Whitfield, and Jesse Hogan, who were able to save it within the 50 yard line and score a goal to put the Giants within striking distance of the lead. Lachlan Keeffe was able to pass the ball to Toby Greene and give the Giants the lead when he was in possession of it. When Callum Brown sent the ball to Ryan Agwin, the latter spun and handed it to Stephen Coniglio, who scored a goal for the Giants to increase their advantage. Finally, Callan Ward booted the ball to Jesse Hogan on the other side of the center square, who then handed it to Toby Greene. Toby Greene, the captain, kicked it inside the 50 metre circle to give the Giants another goal. If they took the lead and increased their margins to get close to St. Kilda, they might have had a chance to play for a playoff spot against the Sydney Swans or another rematch against the Carlton Blues, but only if the game ended in a draw. The Blues didn’t give up and took command of the goals and behinds, with Isaac Cummings of the Giants getting the goal and Stephen Coniglio getting the behind, and it would conclude at halftime with the Giants leading by 5 points, 8.4 (52) to 7.5 (47).

    When the third quarter began, the Giants were expecting to stay in the playoffs if they could extend their win or increase the margin of victory, depending on the outcome of the game. It started with the Giants rush behind but figuring out why. Sam Walsh of Carlton scored after more than 5 minutes had passed since the second half began. It was given to David Cuningham, who gave it to George Hewett, who took the kick from the 40 metre circle and went beyond to tie the game at 8.5 (53) to 8.5 (53). The entire crowd erupted in optimism that Carlton would retake the lead. When the referee tossed the ball to receive it first, Lachlan Keeffe used his hand to drop the ball and deliver it to Stephen Coniglio, who scored the goal for the GWS Giants. When Paddy Dow of the Blues raced the ball inside the centre square and kicked it to Charlie Curnow, the Giants players protested about two players collecting the ball at the same moment. Curnow eventually booted the ball and well headed to the goal, where they leveled it again. After a neck-and-neck battle with close results, Jesse Hogan was expecting to seize the lead, but ended up a behind with leading by one point to the Giants. The Giants then chose to seize control of the ball and refused to surrender or give up their position in order to go to the playoffs. A group of Giants protected the ball before giving it to Tom Green, who then caught it at the corner within 50 yards thanks to Jake Ricarddi. When Jake Ricarrdi took the corner kick, it was a tight strike that gave the Giants a goal and resurrected their chances of winning the game. Brent Daniels ran through the Carlton players and kicked it to Lachie Whitfield, who then passed it to Toby Bedford, who kicked it to Racarrdi, who landed inside the 50 yard circle and scored another goal for the Giants. When Harry Himmelberg kicked it to Daniel Lloyd, the referee called it off the boot from Brodie Kemp, which was unfortunate for Carlton, resulting in a 50-metre kick from Daniel Lloyd. When Lloyd booted the ball, it was straight up in the air as a goal, which the Giants refused to give up. The Giants have taken over 7th place in the playoffs by a little margin to move up to 6th place, taking over St Kilda, which now holds 6th place, and they might play against each other as the home team to host the AFL Finals Series for home advantage if the results hold. Coniglio booted the ball out of the center square after running the ball, and Callum Brown afterwards scored another goal for the Giants. Toby Greene finished the third quarter with a behind that indicated the goal was near.

    Toby Beford took a behind for the Giants in the fourth quarter. Tom Green swiftly intercepted the ball, gave it to Brent Daniels, who threw a fly zone to Toby Greene, who quickly transferred it to Jake Riccardi, who quickly stopped inside the goal square and kicked it in by a meter line. The Giants were unbeatable, and they are confident of reaching the AFL Finals Tournament. While Keefee touched the ball, Brent Daniels raced the ball and kicked it into the goal square, scoring an incredible goal that earned him the match’s MVP. While Daniel Lloyd was running and dropping the ball, he swiftly passed it to Toby Greene, who was holding the ball. Then he booted it into the goal, giving the Giants an opportunity to finish sixth and secure home advantage against St.Kilda. As the GWS Giants gained complete control of the game, the Carlton players found ways to score a few of chances until Corey Durdin took over the Giants defense and allowed the Blues to score, relegating the Giants to seventh position on the AFL ladder. While the GWS Giants players tried their luck at taking advantage of the ball, Stephen Coniglio was about to kick to the goal but ended up behind when the ball went closer to the right. Carlton’s Zac Fisher grabbed the ball and booted it inside the 50-metre circle, scoring a goal for the Blues. It may be too late for Carlton to defeat the formidable Giants, against whom they had a large lead, but they can still put the Giants to finish in seventh and advance to the AFL Finals Series. While Adam Saad handed it to Matthew Owies, he felt it was going to be a goal, but it went short with less than 30 seconds left in the game. During the final 20 seconds of the match, The Blues had players passing the footy to each other until Zac Fisher kicked it out of the centre square and landed it to Harry McKay to Adam Saad, then Matthew Owies, and finally Corey Durdin who took the run and kicked it to hope for a goal before the buzzer, which it hit the post for a behind. It didn’t matter that the Western Bulldogs would not be able to compete in the Finals this year, since the Great Western Sydney Giants triumphed by a 32-point margin of 16.9 (105) to 11.7 (73). The Giants have won their ambitions and will never surrender their place in the AFL Finals. The Giants have earned their dreams and will never surrender their berth in the AFL Finals, which both Carlton and GWS Giants are pleased to make in September, although both teams are content to finish in the lower part of the Top 8 Ladder. The GWS Giants were close to have a home game against St. Kilda Saints which it was the opposite of what they wanted to finished the ladder but managed to play against them in Melbourne. The GWS Giants broke Carlton’s nine-game winning streak, but they are still in with a chance of reaching the AFL Finals Series.

    The GWS Giants had played a terrific season with a major turnaround in the second half of the season. When they play against St. Kilda Saints in the Elimination Match which is the first round of the playoffs for the bottom half of the ladder, the Mighty Giants would hope to take a victory to play against either the losing teams of the Qualifying Finalists like Port Adelaide or the Brisbane Lions in the semifinals. The Great Western Sydney Giants can hope to win their first AFL Grand Final as Premiership Champions in order to win all of the Finals Tournament which it’s a big step forward for the Giants to become the best team in the league if they never surrender as a team. The Big Big Sound has prepared an orange splash as the Giants are looking forward to see what the future can hold for upcoming glory years ahead to upon their hopes and aspirations to bring young generations of AFL Fans to be a Giants fan.

It was great to watch her take part in the Women’s World Cup after recovering from a calf injury. Hopefully, she’ll get some rest so she’ll be ready for all of her home supporters. The Matildas were brilliant throughout the competition, especially after Kerr was benched in the Group Stages, which they won despite her absence. The love of soccer has shown some great characteristics on each individual player on the Australian Team to see what they are made of and their own unique style of play, which Coach Tony Gustavsson was delighted with, although they never surrendered their style of play regardless of whether they were the host nation of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Even though on the bench, she remained a team player and assisted her colleagues in doing what they do best. Sam Kerr was an exceptional role model both on and off the field, indicating her genuine character and determination to never give up hope in spite of which player takes command of the squad, and it was all worth smiles.

  • England has won the Penalty Shootout in the Round of 16 against Nigeria

    The Lionesses played all three rounds of Group D and won all three matches against Haiti, Denmark, and China. Coach Sabrina Weigman of England currently hopes that the Lionesses will win in order to be eligible to the World Cup and demonstrate to the world that women can be as dominating as men’s teams. Coach Randy Waldrum, the head coach of the Nigerian Women’s National Soccer Team, is also the head coach of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers Women’s Soccer Team during the academic year. England must eventually defeat Nigeria. The match was held at Brisbane Stadium in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

    The match began with England having great possession of the ball and dominating the first ten minutes. By the 10th minute, Nigeria was in possession of the ball, and the goalkeeper had volleyed it far over the goal line, resulting in a corner kick. Lauren James was able to boot the ball out of Nigeria’s control after they took the corner kick. Nigeria gained complete control in the 17th minute, and Mary Earps made two saves for England, nearly giving England an early shock that they were fortunate to avoid for a costly goal and punted away. James nearly gave Aleissa Russo a goal for England in the 22nd minute, but the young goaltender was able to make a fantastic stop. England took a corner kick in the 28th minute, but the Nigerian defense saved it, preventing England from scoring. Rachel Daly was ready to receive the ball when it was shoved, and the referee had a superb eye for an England penalty. Nigeria, on the other hand, had additional options for asking the referee to double-check the foul, which was reviewed and checked out of VAR to see whether there was a foul. It turned out that it was used before it was pushed, but it backfired on the foul, revealing that there was no penalty, which incensed England. Following that, Stanway sent the ball to Lucy Bronze, who played it to Lauren James, and the goalkeeper was able to save England’s corner kick. England got the corner in the 40th minute, but James kicked it above the goal line from the same location. The match finished 0-0 in the first half, which England was unhappy with due to a disallowed penalty kick, but the Lionesses had a great chance of keeping their confidence intact on the ball, which Nigeria had given them a fantastic performance.

    During the second half, England was expecting to reclaim their advantage until Nigeria seized possession of the ball, forcing England to play more defensive. By the 56th minute, Greenwood had taken the free kick to Ruso but had swiftly headed out of bounds. The audience carried out the wave in the 62nd minute to keep themselves passionate as the game remained 0-0. England took the corner kick in the 66th minute, but Yewande Balogun, the goalie, saved it, and she leaped up like she was on the monkey bars.

By the 85th minute, Lauren James made a cheeky foul at Michelle Alozie but the referee initially gave her a yellow but the crew of VAR noticed the foul and the referee decided to stop the match to double check with VAR screen.

    During the Penalty Shootout, it is determined that England and Nigeria will have to go to sudden death to see which side can win the match; this is the FIFA Women’s World Cup’s second penalty shootout since USA vs Sweden took a mighty victory to crush the American Dream of getting another repeat. It all began in England. Georgia Stanway, but she missed the far left goal. When Nigerian Desire Oparnozie attempted the penalty kick, it was unsuccessful in the same manner. Bethany England went up and scored the goal, maintaining her perfect career record in all penalty shootouts. Mary Herps desires to save England, but Michelle Alozie of Nigeria booted it too high, giving England belief.

By the time Alex Greenwood of England stepped up to take the penalty shot, the ball had already gone inside the right goal post. When Nigeria’s Christy Ucheibe scored a penalty kick, Herp did not move. When it was Chloe Kelly’s time, it was established that she assisted England in winning the European Championship, that she scored a penalty winner in the 2023 Women’s Finalissima against Brazil, and that she now has the chance to win it in the Round of 16 Penalty Shootout. Kelly scored by kicking the ball, giving England a courageous win in the first knockout match of the Round of 16.

    Both England and Nigeria huddled up and give handshakes for a really good performance. Others got upset and cheered them up that the team has played their best which it shows heroism and dedication of their positive spirit to teach young girls could play soccer in future generations to show what a soccer match should really mean to give credit. Although England had struggled to keep possession of the ball and lack of scoring opportunities which they didn’t use enough confidence to keep the match alive, but the team was lucky enough to move on the next round. The Lionesses will now face either Columbia or Jamaica in the quarterfinals.

    Even though Nigeria was very strong throughout the match, the Lionesses had their finest effort. They must now concentrate on the pressure, even if they begin to fall short on their most successful players, in order to desire the performance and reclaim their clever moves.

The referee checked the status of the foul, which was reviewed for a penalty, as Australia got it all in front of a sold-out crowd of 75,000 supporters in Melbourne.

England was recognized as the 2022 Women’s European Champions, and one of their accomplishments was winning the World Cup. On the other side, the Haitian Women’s National Team made its World Cup debut in order to demonstrate their country that they can have a positive outlook despite coping with natural disasters in their home country, as well as to show fans that women can play soccer just as well as men. England’s first match was hosted in The Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Queensland. Coach Sabrina Wiegman, who previously coached the Netherlands to glory in the 2017 Women’s Euro Finals, is currently coaching England’s next generation of female footballers.

    The Lionesses started off with Chloe Kelly, who helped England achieve the European Championship last season. She got her time in the fourth minute and attempted to kick for distance, but Kerly Théus, the goaltender, saved it. Georgia Stanway had the opportunity to maintain the ball in midfield in the fifth minute although was unable to hold it off.

Chloe Kelly attempted a cross-kick to Alessia Russo in the 21st minute, but the goaltender made a superb save.

    During the 25th minute, while England attempted a corner kick, the Lionesses were ready to take possession of the ball when Lucy Bronze signaled that Haiti had been caught for handball inside the penalty area. The referee conducted a review and it was judged a penalty, with Georgia Stanway taking charge of the penalty kick. After Georgia Stanway’s first penalty was saved, the referee determined that it appeared the defending goalkeeper had left her line earlier than expected which England are managed to retry their penalty kick. Stanway then returned to the same spot to give England a 1-0 lead. England is 13-2-0 in the Women’s World Cup when scoring first. The roaring crowd give the atmosphere their approval and viewed it as proof of their strength.

Stanway had a long pass kick to Russo in the 64th minute but sent it a little too high, which the goaltender stopped like a punt for volleyball. Kerly Théus began to become more dangerous at punting the ball about, which England was intent on capitalizing on for the purpose to get a second goal. Lucy Bronze delivered to Alex Greenwood in the 74th minute but kicked above the goalie, which Russo did not succeed to use the header in the vicinity of the goal. Her aggressive defense maintained everything compact for her teammates as they battled for survival. Chloe Kelly intended to utilize the ball in the 79th minute but intended to raise her hand for handball, therefore Lucy Bronze made the decision to loop the cross to Bethany England, who beat Théus but swiftly pulled away. When Kelly dribbled the ball and shifted around Théus in the 81st minute, Millie Bright provided it to Bronze, who subsequently gave it to Stanway. Nerillia Mondesir seized the ball and sprinted on the opposite side of the field shortly after, but Jess Carter guarded her as Roseline Eloissaint nearly equaled the match for Haiti before Earps made an exceptional save and punted it out. Daly came close to her chances of giving England the advantage when Kelly passed the ball around the outside of her cross in the 82nd minute. Throughout the whole match, England and Haiti engaged in continuous, intense contemplation. Finally, both teams committed several foolish fouls and a few injuries, which made the game extremely close overall. Haiti took a corner kick in the 91st minute, which Earps volleyed out and punched away. England responded forcefully, especially when Haiti kicked it out for a high ball. Haiti, on the other side, played really well for their first game even though the match finished with England winning 1-0, Haiti played really well in their debut match, but they were unable to overcome England, despite their excellent play.

    The Lionesses has played their performance despite that without their loyalists Beth Mead and Leah Williamson, England prevailed to secure out an exhausting victory over a feisty young Haitian squad. Its lone goal occurred upon a penalty kick in the first half. Sarina Wiegman, the team’s coach, has to figure out a method to get her team back on track after winning the Euros last year. Which England has to be more assertive in order to for her team to do well in the World Cup Knockoff Stage. However the Lionesses did well with a large crowd that did great on supporting them and showed their effort that women can play football or soccer as well. England kept their loyal spirit up and show the world that they want to be the best of Europe included the world to show their characteristics.

The Giants has spent the last two minutes defending the Dees while the Demons find one more opportunity to get the winning goal but the Giants intercepted the ball and tackled them halfway through the centre field. The Demons has lost their opportunity to get the winning goal and the Giants has held the game and triumph for the victory 47-45, which it was the lowest scoring match of the season. The Giants have won 4 of the 5 in recent matches and had improved their performance as Adam Kingsley helped the GWS Giants but themselves back to the game.

    The Great Western Sydney Giants has improved their batting performance in the 2nd Half of the Season and had some lucky victories against the toughest opponents which most of the results were attributed to close games with both wins and defeats which means the Giants have been able to to maintain their advantage which the results can be seen some ups and downs. However, their dominance has never surrendered and if they continue to get more victories and teams in the bottom ladder of the league, they have a greater chance of being in the Playoffs.

    The most important thing is that the GWS Giants never surrender their power and played a tough match with the top 5 teams in the league. The heavy downpours did impact both Melbourne Football Club and Great Western Sydney Giants which had impressive success with the battle of the defense but the Giants were lucky enough to pull off a victory over Melbourne by a 2-point margin.

  • Why Do I love Artists and DJ’s play their songs in High Pitch

    by

    , , ,

    When I usually check dj events on socials, I most of the time checked the songs that interests me. Sometimes it’s like a never ending moment with the most cherished songs that a lot of people would never get tired of when the melody has a good rhythm to the beats. When I hear most of my favourite EDM or Drum n Bass Artists, I would get pumped to see which concert, nightclub or music festival depending on popularity size of where and when they perform the shows. Generally I get excited because it’s the same type of music pitch the raise like I used to hear it on the radio which most Dance Artists in general wanna raise the pitch to make the song sound more appealing to the fans of the audience.

    It could be music videos from the special type of video that wasn’t the main official video, or it could be your workout show or it could be your drive to playlist or it could be just for your favourite tunes. Maybe it could your favourite artist that you want to see but you don’t feel comfortable going to large crowds where it’s too cramped or if it’s too late to step up for a late night party that starts by midnight or maybe you don’t wanna to travel too far and fear of going to the city at night.

    Most people seemed comfortable going to warehouses at nightclubs but for myself I don’t feel comfortable going to warehouses at night or don’t want to see an artist that late at night because sometimes I wish I want to see them badly which makes me feel sad. I would love to see a EDM or Drum n Bass concert some point in life which hopefully I can see them for a once in a lifetime opportunity to see them for real life.
